GLASTONBURY SET TO BE 'CANCELLED' AS FESTIVAL ORGANISERS CONFIRM WHEN THE NEXT FALLOW YEAR WILL BE TO 'LET THE LAND REST'
Glastonbury will not go ahead in 2026, after festival organisers confirmed it will be a fallow year.
The iconic music festival's 2024 instalment is in its final day, with Shania Twain taking to the Legends slot followed by headliner SZA.
But 2025's festival is set to be a big one, as organiser Emily Eavis has confirmed 2026 will be a fallow year 'to let the land rest'.
This means festival-goers who miss out on tickets for next year's extravaganza will have to wait 24 months for another opportunity to attend.
'The festival before a fallow year is always a fun one to plan, because you almost have to fit two years into one,' Emily told The Sun on Sunday.
Emily has confirmed that they are already in discussion with artists for next year's mega fest.
She added: 'It's got to be the best one yet. Every single one of our vast, incredible crew is crucial to making this event work.'
Dua Lipa was the first headliner of the weekend, when she took to the stage on Friday.
Her moment was overshadowed by calls from viewers that she was lip syncing her set, but she insisted to the Mail: 'I don't mime.'
Informed sources also said the mime claim is false.
Dua said she had dreamed about headlining Glastonbury Festival 'my whole life' as she kicked off the Pyramid stage slot.
The pop superstar opened her first headline performance at the British festival with impressive choreography to her hit track Training Season from her third studio album, Radical Optimism, which released earlier this year.
She told the crowd: 'I can't believe this, I've dreamed about this my whole life.'
During her performance, the audience could be heard singing loudly along to the words of her 2018 track One Kiss with Calvin Harris.
Glastonbury organiser Emily said the pop star was 'born' to headline the festival.
Other celebrities seen at the festival included Alexa Chung, actress Anya Taylor-Joy and model Cara Delevingne. TV presenter Maya Jama was also spotted with her rapper boyfriend Stormzy.
Some fellow festival-goers opted for wacky outfits to watch the performances – with one even hopping around as a kangaroo.
On Saturday, Coldplay headlined the Pyramid stage in what was their fifth appearance at the festival, with actor Michael J. Fox making a surprise appearance.
Earlier, two showbusiness veterans performed. Pop icon Cyndi Lauper belted out hits including Girls Just Wanna Have Fun on the main stage.
And actor Russell Crowe jetted in on Friday for his debut at the festival. He played on the acoustic stage with his band, Indoor Garden Party.
Rockers Kasabian were the secret act yesterday, causing chaos after too many people flocked to see them that access to the stage had to be shut due to overcrowding fears.
It is understood that Glastonbury chiefs told partners to limit celebrity invites this year amid worries that it could 'lose its down to earth roots.'
But no one seemed to have relayed that to the posh Soho House pop-up club – which was serving up sea bream for £34.
