Loyd Grossman's Band The New Forbidden Confirmed For Glastonbury

Just when revellers thought Glasto was synonymous with mud, in 1999 the sun finally shone again. It's estimated that 250,000 people were on the festival site due to the growing number of fence jumpers, taking the attendance to well over double the 100,500 tickets sold. Manic Street Preachers, R.E.M. and beguilingly Skunk Anansie headlined. The event was overshadowed by the death of Michael Eavis' wife some months previous to the festival. Fireworks were set off in her honour.
