Glastonbury has been canceled for the second year in a row due to COVID-19. The “forced cured year” of the music and arts festival, originally set for June 23-27, marks the first time its modern incarnation will skip consecutive years. “Despite our efforts to move Heaven & Earth, it has become clear that we simply will not be able to make the festival happen,” organizers Emily and Michael Eavis write in a statement. “We thank you for your incredible support and look forward to better times ahead.”
As with last year’s cancellation, subscribers can reverse the £ 50 deposit, guaranteeing the possibility of securing tickets for the 2022 festival. In 2020, Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney would be the headlines. of the festival. No line-up has been confirmed for next year’s festival – if it should go ahead. The 2019 edition featured Cure, Stormzy, The Killers, Janet Jackson, Kylie Minogue and more.
