The brief

PMY has been working with Glastonbury Festival for more than 15 years, solidifying its position as one of the world’s leading tech providers for the live environment. Widely regarded as one of the world’s largest music festivals, the five-day event presents several logistical challenges given its scale and remote location.

One of PMY’s primary tasks is to provide a highly resilient event network capable of meeting the demanding needs of key stakeholders including production, media, broadcasters, ticketing, artists and security.
