The last Glastonbury Festival was held in June 2019. The artist line-up included Kylie Minogue, Miley Cyrus (with a cameo by Billy Ray), the Chemical Brothers, The Killers, the Cure, Izzo, Billie Eilish and Janelle Monae.
The 2020 Festival was going to be held June 24-28th but cancelled due the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, we received word today by organizers that the 2021 show is already called off. It was going to be held at Pilton, Somerset in England as usual. But the pandemic has made it impossible this year.
With great regret, we must announce that this year’s Glastonbury Festival will not take place, and that this will be another enforced fallow year for us.
In spite of our efforts to move Heaven & Earth, it has become clear that we simply will not be able to make the Festival happen this year. We are so sorry to let you all down.
As with last year, we would like to offer all those who secured a ticket in October 2019 the opportunity to roll their £50 deposit over to next year, and guarantee the chance to buy a ticket for Glastonbury 2022. We are very appreciative of the faith and trust placed in us by those of you with deposits, and we are very confident we can deliver something really special for us all in 2022!
We thank you for your incredible continued support and let’s look forward to better times ahead.
With love,
Michael & Emily
