Glastonbury cancelled for the second year running due to coronavirus
Sad news
Glastonbury Festival has officially been cancelled for the second year running.
It will no longer take place in 2021 due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The news was announced on the festival’s official Twitter page today, Thursday January 21st.
The post said: “With great regret, we must announce that this year’s Glastonbury Festival will not take place.
“And that this will be another enforced fallow year for us. Tickets for this year will roll over to next year. Full statement below and on our website. Michael & Emily.”
Organiser Emily Eavis told the BBC last month that she hoped the festival could still happen, despite ‘huge uncertainty’ surrounding live music at the moment.
She said: “We’re doing everything we can on our end to plan and prepare, but I think we’re still quite a long way from being able to say we’re confident 2021 will go ahead.”
