Glastonbury festival will not take place in 2026, organiser Emily Eavis has confirmed.
Eavis had previously suggested that the festival would soon take its occasional fallow year and confirmed that it would be in 2026 in comments given to the its in-house newspaper, Glastonbury Free Press, this past weekend.
The fallow year will give the farm land’s site a year to rest in order to limit damage to the green fields. “The festival before a fallow year is always a fun one to plan, because you almost have to fit two years into one,” Eavis told Glastonbury Free Press. “We’re already in talks with some acts for it. It’s exciting.”
It’s not yet known who will headline next year’s event. This year’s festival happened this past weekend, and was headlined by Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA. The likes of LCD Soundsystem, Little Simz, Fat White Family, Sleaford Mods and Orbital were among other acts who played across the vast site.
