This Glastonbury could be the last, say organisers

EMILY EAVIS has raised doubts about the future of the Glastonbury festival.

Michael Eavis’s daughter, who has helped her father run the event for the past eight years, said the pair had discussed over Christmas the shelf life of the music festival. She said they were treating this year’s 38th festival, which will be headlined by rapper Jay-Z, as though it were the last.

Asked whether Glastonbury has a limited time span, she told Orange World: “Yeah, I probably do, to be honest. We had a kind of retrospective time during Christmas, talking about it and whether it’s a long-term thing. I kinda feel that we should ply everything into this as if it be the last.”
