Glastonbury CND Festival 1982 saw the 25,000 crowd pay £8 for a ticket. Performances included Van Morrison, Judie Tzuke, Jackson Browne, Roy Harper and Richie Havens, however U2 did not perform as advertised.[1] The highest rainfall for a single day in 45 years was recorded on the Friday and contributed to a muddy Glastonbury.[2]
In 1982, Richie Havens appeared at the UK's Glastonbury Festival, closing the show on the Sunday night.[3]
