Was quite amazed to read this BBC article about the infrastructure required to host the Glastonbury Festival:

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Building a city in festival field

As the article points out, it's a weekend city the size of Norwich or Sunderland. Quite impressive.

Includes:

The waste is transferred to 5,500-gallon tankers, which make 40 trips a day, day and night, to local sewage works.

Glastonbury uses about 1.5 million gallons of water
At the last festival two years ago, fans and workers produced almost 2,000 tonnes of rubbish. Two-thousand old oil drums are used as litter bins, 13 dustbin trucks travel around the site every day from 0600-1700, and 1,200 people work picking and sorting the rubbish.

Glastonbury still uses 30 megawatts of electricity over the weekend - about as much as the city of Bath. The vast majority comes from 200 generators dotted around the site, which use 100km of cabling to supply most of the stages, markets and backstage portacabins.
