MAKING WAVES GLASTONBUR­Y FESTIVAL

-

Britain’s music festival has fallen victim to the coronaviru­s pandemic for the second year in a row. Organizers Michael Eavis and Emily Eavis said everyone who had put down a deposit on tickets for the 2020 festival, which also was canceled, would be able to attend in 2022. The festival has been held almost annually since 1970, drawing up to 150,000 people to the Eavis’ Worthy Farm in southwest England. Last year’s 50th anniversar­y event, which had been due to feature Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, the Pet Shop Boys and Paul McCartney, was canceled in March as the virus began to sweep the U. K.
