Glastonbury CND Festival 1984 saw 35,000 attendees paying £13 entrance.[1]

The stage invaded by fans during The Smiths' set.[2][3] Weather Report played the main stage, and Elvis Costello headlined the last night for almost three hours.[4]

Amazulu were scheduled to be the opening act on the Pyramid Stage on the Saturday, but did not arrive in time. They were subsequently given a slot before General Public, necessitating The Smiths to take the stage earlier than scheduled. Elvis Costello And The Attractions were not announced as Saturday's headliners until a few days before the festival started, and too late to be credited in the official programme. Ian Dury was backed by his then current band, The Music Students.
