Summary
Around 200,000 music fans have descended on Worthy Farm in Somerset for this year's Glastonbury Festival. <br /> <br />Days before this year's event began, its owner, Michael Eavis, announced he was transferring most of his financial stake in Glastonbury to his daughter, Emily Eavis. <br /> <br />So, who is the new owner of Glastonbury? <br /> <br />Host Niall Paterson is joined by Sky's arts and entertainment editor Claire Gregory as they look back at the unlikely transformation of Michael Eavis, from dairy farmer to festival mastermind, and ask how Emily Eavis may shape Glastonbury's future. We also speak to artist Joe Rush, who has known Michael Eavis since 1985.<br /> <br />Producer: Natalie Ktena <br />Editors: Philly Beaumont and Rosie Gillott
