   After having 25, 30 and 40 year anniversaries, with fewer original   
   performers each year but bigger crowds, I'm not really surprised the 50th   
   fizzed.   
      
   About the only remaining '70s festival to still be going strong is   
   probably Glastonbury in Somerset, UK. This has run from 1970 to this   
   year, 2019, with a gap every few years to let the fields recover after   
   particularly wet events, totalling 36 events over 49 years, and with   
   attendance rising from 1,500 to 135,000. It eventually grew so big that   
   the Mike Eavis, the dairy farmer who has always run it, bought the   
   neighbouring farm to accommodate the expanded festival.   
      
   However, I see that the Zappanale is keeping pace, with 30 events from   
   1990.
