Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis said 2026 may be the year where the world-famous festival is skipped so the land on Worthy Farm has a chance to recover
Glastonbury Festival will likely take a fallow year in 2026 in order to allow for the land to rest, organiser Emily Eavis said. The festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset usually takes place four out of every five years, with the fifth year reserved for rehabilitation of the land. Ms Eavis told the BBC's Sidetracked podcast the gap year would allow 'everyone time to switch off' and also give the Somerset farm's cows a 'chance to be out for longer and reclaim their land'.
'The thing with line-ups is, you think it's looking one way and then it changes. So at the moment, I would say no, but I have a vague idea in my head of who is going to be doing it next year. 'Then we might do a fallow year after that - we are due a fallow year.' She added: 'The fallow year is important because it gives the land a rest, and it gives the cows a chance to be out for longer and reclaim their land. 'And it gives everyone time to switch off.
