Wellies Ready For Glastonbury: When Music Festivals Get Muddy

See our tribute to some of the muddiest festivals ever...

Hydro Connect 2007 – Mud sometimes makes festival goers happy.

Oxegen Festival 2007 – Sex on legs

Glastonbury 2005 – Desperate to get to the fudge stall, this rotund reveller took to surfing

Glastonbury 2005 – Floating toilet cubicles. Misery and woe.

Glastonbury 1971 – Proof that even 38 years ago, Glastonbury was a mud bath.

Hydro Connect Festival 2008 – There's always one idiot

Bestival 2008 – Mud surfing = genius.

Glastonbury 2005 – A scary-as-hell muddy creature.

Knowsley Hall Music Festival 2007 – Once you've endured the mud at the festival, the next task is setting your car free.

Rise Festival 2007 – Sheet rain. Warms your cockles doesn't it?!

Glastonbury 2005 – After a hard day traipsing around watching bands, there's nothing quite like a mud bath.

Bestival 2008 - Never before has an aquatic fancy dress theme been more fitting. Despite the festival enjoying lovely weather in previous years, in 2008 it absolutely twatted it down turning the usually picturesque site into something resembling The Somme.

Glastonbury 2005 – The aftermath of the flash thunderstorm. A handy tip for those going this year: don't pitch anywhere near the disused rail track.

Glade Festival 2007 – This over-amorous pair are clearly going to regret it when they sober up.

Glastonbury 2007 – It's not a muddy Glastonbury without two pissed up girls covered head to toe in brown stuff is it?!

It doesn’t officially start until Friday (June 24), but thousands of music fans who have arrived at Glastonbury early have been greeted by muddy conditions.

Although conditions are set to improve according to the latest weather forecast, days of heavy showers have left many of the camping fields saturated.

As Gigwise's continues our countdown to the official start, we thought we'd look at some of the muddiest festivals of all time – from Glastonbury to Bestival and beyond.

Gigwise will be coming live from Glastonbury all week. Check out gigwise.com for all the latest news, reviews, interviews and photos.
