Happening almost yearly since the early 1970s, the phenomenon regularly attracts gigantic crowds, the coolest names in pop music, and, more recently, the cameras of acclaimed British director Julien Temple (“The Filth and the Fury,” “Absolute Beginners”).   For several years, Temple turned up at the fest to shoot bands and fans making rock history. The result is a documentary film, “Glastonbury,” due in

Rock band Coldplay, the late Eng
