An illegal rave is being planned to cater for people shut out of the Glastonbury festival, BBC Radio Five Live has learned.


The event will be staged by the same people who put on a free party for a crowd of 3,000 on a farm near Leominster, Herefordshire, on Saturday

The event will be staged by the same people who put on a free party for a crowd of 3,000 on a farm near Leominster, Herefordshire, on Saturday.

At least 20 people were arrested after some revellers attacked police with bottles and set dogs on officers.

Many people who are expected to go to the Glastonbury rave are frustrated at having to pay more than £100 for official festival tickets, which sold out within 24 hours, organisers told Five Live.

The rave will take place from 21 June, the week before Glastonbury, Five Live said.
