Pedal power! Oliver's hack to navigate Glasto
Western Daily Press
|July 09, 2025
A FESTIVAL-GOER may have unwittingly discovered one of the most underrated hacks for navigating large music festivals - bringing a bike.
Oliver White, 25, cycled over 1,200 miles from Madrid in Spain to attend the Glastonbury Festival in Somerset.
But while his journey earned him media attention, it was what he did with the bike once inside the festival grounds that truly made his experience unforgettable.
While other attendees trudged between distant stages and queued for hours in post-festival traffic, Oliver cruised around with ease.
Over the three-day weekend, Oliver says he saw around 50 performances - averaging more than 15 per day - thanks to the speed and freedom his bike gave him.
The 25-year-old managed to catch every artist on his list and avoid the infamous gridlock on departure day.
