Glastonbury aims for June return to calendar

Glastonbury organisers aim to have the festival back in June, Emily Eavis has said.

Founder Michael Eavis has previously said the fate of next year’s event is uncertain.

The festival was cancelled this year, on its 50th birthday, because of the pandemic.

Co-organiser Emily Eavis tweeted they were hoping the festival would return in June – its usual month – and not be pushed back to the autumn.

“For those who have been asking, we have no plans to move next year’s Glastonbury to September 2021– we’re still very much aiming for June,” she wrote.

Sir Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift and K endrick La mar had been set to headline the Pyramid Stage this year to celebrate the festival’ s landmark anniversary.
