Glastonbury festival confirms postponement of its 2020 event due to feature Taylor Swift, Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar. It will take place in 2021
The festival was set to take place from 24-28 June at its usual home of Worthy Farm in Somerset, and has now been postponed until next year.
In a Twitter post the festival announced that:
“following the new government measures announced this week – and in times of such unprecedented uncertainty – this is now our only viable option”.
Glastonbury festival, which was due to celebrate its 50th anniversary year in 2020 with headliners including Taylor Swift, Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar, has been cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic
Michael and Emily Eavis, the organisers of the event, has said in a statement:
“We were so looking forward to welcoming you all for our 50th anniversary with a lineup full of fantastic artists and performers that we were incredibly proud to have booked. Again, we’re so sorry that this decision has been made. It was not through choice,”
Ticketholders will have the chance to roll their £50 deposit over to next year, and guarantee the opportunity to buy a ticket for Glastonbury 2021, while those who want a refund can apply for one.
