Until 1992 Glastonbury had been the CND festival.  What changed in that year?

[Crazyfool01]

Licensing conditions ? something to do with it becoming the Glastonbury festival of contemporary and performing arts ? 

[grumpyhack]

Maybe it's too vague a question because a lot changes from year to year.  Think of beneficiaries.

World Peace achieved. Global decommissioning of nuclear warheads. No countries were invaded, especially not Kuwait and Iraq.

Amirite?

That's the answer I was looking for.  Oxfam and Water Aid came along a couple of years later.  Over to you @Barney McGrew

I just checked and Tasmin Archer was actually 1992 (I was guessing). Do I win a prize?!

Looks like I've done a Dominic Cummings there and edited my history to make it look right!

Okay, who were the three Pyramid headliners in 1994? And you can chuck in the legend too.
