In a recent tweet responding to speculation that the festival would be pushed back to 2022, or later in 2021, Emily Eavis writes: “For those who have been asking, we have no plans to move next year’s Glastonbury to September 2021.” In a follow-up tweet, she also explains that their planned ticket resale has been moved back from October to April, due to the fact that so few people have requested a refund following this year’s cancellation. Tickets for Glastonbury 2021 are currently sold out. Also, we’ve moved our ticket resale back from October to April, because so few people have asked for a refund (next year’s Festival remains sold out), meaning we don’t have enough tickets to resell. Plus, we’ve extended the free cancellation deadline until the end of January.— Emily Eavis (@emilyeavis) August 30, 2020 Michael Eavis’s suggestion that Glastonbury could be pushed back to 2022 follows its cancellation due to coronavirus in March this year. The 50th anniversary of the festival was set to be headlined by Kendrick Lamar, Paul McCartney, and Taylor Swift. It would also have featured performances from the likes of Charli XCX, Kacey Musgraves, Lana Del Rey, and Robyn, according to playlists released after it was called off. A celebration of Glastonbury was run by the BBC in lieu of the real thing back in June, with footage of some of its classic sets and most iconic headline slots. Escape the algorithm!
