Glastonbury Festival founder Michael Eavis has today announced the date of the 2017 Extravaganza and unveiled a world-famous brass band taking to the stage along with an a top contemporary act. Vouchers for tickets for the event have also gone on sale today.
The Black Dyke Band will be performing at the 21st Glastonbury Abbey Extravaganza in the beautiful grounds of the abbey on August 5 2017.
The Yorkshire-based brass band is the most recorded in the world with more than 350 recordings and has won the European Brass Band Championships 13 times, the British Open Brass Band Championships 30 times and the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain 23 times
The 2017 spectacular complete with traditional firework display will be the 21st Extravaganza to be held at Glastonbury Abbey.
Last year’s event headlined by Van Morrison with Jamie Cullum and the Wells Cathedral School Big Band sold out and Michael said: “I am really excited that the Black Dyke Band has agreed to come to Glastonbury Abbey for this event; they’re marvellous and I’m sure there will be a great atmosphere on the night.
“The Extravaganza is one of my highlights of the year and I’m really pleased we’re able to give people the chance to get vouchers for tickets before Christmas and put it in their 2017 diaries early. We will be announcing the headliner in the New Year and I hope it is going to be a fantastic 21st”
Janet Bell, director of the abbey, said: “The Extravaganza is a highlight of the calendar and the vouchers will make great Christmas presents. We are very grateful to Michael for organising it and his continued support for the abbey. The Black Dyke Band will no doubt be fabulous and we look forward to finding out who the headliner will be in the New Year.
Vouchers can be bought from the abbey shop or online at www.glastonburyabbey.com/extravaganza to be redeemed for adult or child tickets. Advance prices are staying the same as last year with adults £35 and £20 for a child aged six to 16. On the gate prices will be £40 adult and £25 for a child. Accompanied children aged five and under do not require a ticket. Booking and postage fees apply.

27 OCT UPDATE: Following today’s sale, all accommodation and campervan/caravan tickets have now been booked. Any cancelled bookings will be placed back on sale immediately.
For those who have secured a ticket for Glastonbury 2017, bookings for caravan/campervan tickets, onsite tipis and the Worthy View pre-erected campsite will open at 12 noon on Thursday, 27th October, at glastonbury.seetickets.com. For more information, please see below. You can, of course, also choose to camp within the Festival’s main camping areas, which is included within the price of your ticket.
Now in its fifth year, Worthy View (pictured, above) offers unpretentious, custom-made and pre-erected Festival accommodation a short walk from the Festival site (up the hill above the Stone Circle field) – leaving you with nothing to carry home but your bags. The Worthy View car park is in a dedicated field, a short walk from the accommodation. A full list of the options available at Worthy View can be found here.
Anyone planning to bring a campervan or campervan in 2017 will need to book their own campervan/caravan tickets (£100 per ticket for a regular pitch; or £200 for oversized vehicles) and will need to present both their named campervan/caravan ticket and Festival tickets to be able to park in these fields. Following its introduction as a supplementary campervan location in 2016, we’re pleased to confirm the Bath & West Showground will again be open to campervans and caravans for the 2017 Festival
Campervan/caravan tickets will feature the name and address of the ticket booker. An FAQ about campervan/caravan tickets can be found here.
The Festival Tipi Village, on the southern slopes of the Festival site between the Green Fields and the Park continues to offer a unique camping experience within the Festival fence line. Each tipi costs £995 to hire, and can sleep up to 6 people. Tipis come complete with groundsheet and rain-catcher; however they are intended to be an elemental experience, without the trappings of ‘luxury’ campsites. You will need to bring your own bedding, and expect to be using basic camping facilities. For further information please click here.

3. Be persistent and patient – there are likely to be more people trying to buy tickets than there are tickets available, so inevitably not everyone will be able to book tickets, but the longer you try the more likely you are to get a ticket.
4. Stick to one tab, in one window, so you can focus on entering your details without confusing your browser.
5. If the page ‘hangs’ and you can’t get any further, try pressing back once and then continue your booking from that point. If that doesn’t help, close your browser and start again. Please don’t continue to refresh the page more than 10 minutes after entering your details as your access to the page will have expired. You will need to close the browser and start again to gain fresh access to the booking page.

Your coach travel e-tickets will be sent out to you in advance and your Festival tickets will be handed out on the coach on the way to the Festival, to ensure everyone travels on the coach they have booked.
