Music Festival News

The organisers of the Glastonbury festival have secured a 6 year license for the event keeping them till 2016 which will incorporate 5 festivals. In a strange turn of events, the license was given behind closed doors and without a public hearing from the locals which is the first time it has ever happened, the local council commented that it is the close working relationship over the years to make things go smoothly which has in turn resulted in almost no objections to the festivals license.

The license holds the festival to 177,500 people which im sure is enough!! it also holds them into the same regulations for the next 6 years, this has probably been a good move as the more time goes on the more regulations are put in place in terms of noise levels etc.

2012 will see a rest for the festival, this is a regular thing as they let the land recover for a full year and as 2012 is the year the Olympics is in this country, the resources needed will not be available.
