Glastonbury Festival of Contempory Performing Arts 1990 was attended by 70,000 with tickets costing £38.[1]

Following the 1990 festival, violence flared between security guards and new age travellers in what became known as "The Battle of Yeoman's Bridge".[2][3]

Eavis was also facing increasing battles from locals over the festival, with no festival taking place in 1991. Both pressures are captured in the 1992 Channel 4 documentary Showdown at Glastonbury.[4]

Glastonbury 90 is a 1999 live album release of a 1990 concert by Hawkwind.
