Organiser Emily Eavis says, ‘for a number of reasons’, the festival team are focusing on the family campsite opening this week on Worthy Farm
Emily Eavis has confirmed that the Glastonbury festival will not go ahead with the one-day music event it had previously proposed for September.
In May, Mendip district council granted a licence allowing for up to 50,000 attendees – a quarter of the usual festival capacity – with no camping. Eavis said the event would have been called Equinox. In May, she told the Guardian that the lineup was fully booked and that as soon as government scientists gave the all-clear, the organisers would put tickets on sale.
