And we couldn't let it pass without a retro mention of some of the great tribute festivals you have held in Sunderland and County Durham over the years.
There's Glastonbraley in Washington in 2013, a Glasto event at Cheveley Park School in 2007, and the Village Inn, Easington, holding its own themed event 10 years ago.
So let's get ready to rock by going retro.
1. Nine festival themed photos to get you in the mood for Glastonbury.
