Want to see Oasish play GlastonBarry? Well, you can! How tribute festivals ‘grew into a monster’

More than 30 outdoor music events including Tribfest and Big Fake Festival are taking the UK by storm

Matt Blumberg launched the tribute festival, GlastonBarry, in 2013 as a way of doing something positive and joyful for his hometown of Barry, Wales.

But what started as a local festival of 500 people is today a three-day event attended by an audience of 18,000. It started off as a community incentive, and a bit of fun, and it quickly grew into a monster. It's bonkers," the former primary school teacher said.
