Organisers of Glastonbury Festival have confirmed the return of the event in 2023 after a special edition this year. The festival at Worthy Farm attended by some 220,000 people was particularly poignant this year after a three-year break due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Many feared the worst when the festival was forced to cancel its 50th-anniversary celebrations back in 2020 but the site seemed unaffected by the hiatus (and the rail strikes). Ticket holders from 2020 had an agonisingly long wait to step back onto the farm once more.
Fortunately, it won't be so long until the next event. Every five years, the festival has a fallow year to allow the site to recover and to prevent further damage. Under normal circumstances, that could have been the case for next year as the last instance of this was in 2018, but due to two cancellations, the next one is likely to be in 2027.
