Festival goers board trains at Paddington station to travel to Castle Cary station for the first day of the 2014 Glastonbury Festival on June 25, 2014 in London, England. Gates opened today at the Somerset dairy farm that plays host to one of the largest music festivals in the world. Tickets to the event, which is now in its 44th year, sold out in minutes even before any of the headline acts had been confirmed. The festival, which started in 1970 when several hundred hippies paid £1, now attracts more than 175,000 people. (Photo by Rob Stothard/Getty Images)
