David Bowie's Glastonbury 2000 headline slot is getting a physical release

Glastonbury 2000 has been put together by Parlophone Records, in association with BBC Studios and Glastonbury Festivals Ltd.

Alongside the digital release, the performance will also be available on multiple formats including: 2xCD/DVD, 3xLP and 2xCD.

All physical releases will include Bowie's Time Out entry where he describes the preparation for his big festival performance, “As of 1990 I got through the rest of the 20th century without having to do a big hits show. Yes, yes, I know I did four or five hits on the later shows but I held out pretty well I thought…big, well known songs will litter the field at Glastonbury this year. Well, with a couple of quirks of course”.

The new release includes newly mastered audio and visuals.

Speaking about the forthcoming release, Glastonbury co-organiser Emily Eavis explains, “I often get asked what the best set I've seen here at Glastonbury is, and Bowie's 2000 performance is always one which I think of first. It was spellbinding; he had an absolutely enormous crowd transfixed. I think Bowie had a very deep relationship with Worthy Farm and he told some wonderful stories about his first time at the Festival in 1971, when he stayed at the farmhouse and performed at 6am as the sun was rising. And he just played the perfect headline set. It really was a very special and emotional show”.
