The release of Bowie Glastonbury 2000 was announced yesterday, October 2nd. Glastonbury co-organiser, Emily Eavis, stated in a press release on David Bowie's official website, "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".

Bowie Glastonbury 2000 is now available for pre-order.
