Youtuber filmed moment he broke into Glastonbury using ‘secret portal’

Zac Alsop was determined to get into Glastonbury Festival 2022 to meet his mates and have the chance to see massive headliners Paul McCartney, Billie Eilish and Kendrick Lamar

A Youtuber has chronicled how he broke into Glastonbury Festival via a storm drain.

Zac Alsop posted a video detailing his triumphant break-in attemp t two months after the music and performing arts festival returned.

In managing to get in undetected by the thousands of security guards and despite the multi-million pound super fence, he was able to join those lucky enough to triumph in the stampede for tickets.

The 27-year-old had decided to get himself into “the world’s most secure festival” to meet his mates, despite the intimidatingly tall, 8km long fence.

He tried to figure out how to do so by walking around the perimeter, quietly sneaking past guards with his dog Roo and dad, until he reached a storm drain on a reconnaissance mission pre-festival.

Sadly Zac realised that the first tunnel – which was just a few metres long with a small amount of water at the bottom – would be blocked off when Glastonbury began.

Undeterred, the Youtuber walked to the other side of the festival ground where he stumbled across a stream beneath a bridge.

The famous Glastonbury fence runs on top of the structure, with no clear way of blocking up the space beneath.

On the Tuesday before the festival began, Zac slipped on a luminous jacket in a bid to pass of as a security guard, and took a train to close to the festival site.

“I’m sh***ing it, my nerves are starting to come up,” he said as he walked to the bridge.

“There are security vans everywhere, and the spot by the river has about five or six security guards by it, and one guy stationed right on top of the bridge.”

A short while later Zac, who had been “watching and waiting”, noticed that the security guards were changing shifts.

He makes his way for the bridge, which has been blocked off by a large metal gate.

Zac puts on a raincoat and wades through the river to underside of the bridge, only to realise that a gap people used to sneak under has been closed off with scaffolding.

The festival breaker decided to wait for nightfall, when the security presence would be thinner and the chances of sliding off the bridge through a gap at the top of the fence were higher.

Zac launches his bag over the fence, wiggles through the 23cm gap and then simply walks under the fence.

“The best festival in the world, the most secure festival in the world, the hardest to break into festival in the world,” he says, grinning as he makes his way down into the main festival ground.

“And I just got in through a secret f***ing portal.”
