Michael and Emily Eavis, organizers of the annual four-day festival — which was set to kick off June 24 at Worthy Farm in Polton, Somerset, England — announced it would not be taking place this year in a“Clearly this was not a course of action we hope to take for our 50th anniversary event, but following the new government measures announced this week — and in times of such unprecedented uncertainty — this is now our only viable option,” the statement read.
The Eavis’ said that the 135,000 people who already purchased tickets could roll their £50 deposit over to next year and would be guaranteed a ticket for Glastonbury 2021. “The cancellation of this year’s Festival will no doubt come as a terrible blow to our incredible crew and volunteers who work so hard to make this event happen. There will also inevitably be severe financial implications as a result of this cancellation.”We are so sorry to announce this, but we are going to have to cancel Glastonbury 2020. Tickets for this year will roll over to next year. Full statement below and on our website.
