Glastonbury organizers have been granted a license to hold a one-day festival in September. They’re calling it Equinox.
The license allows for up to 50k attendees, but they will not be allowed to camp overnight. There is no line-up or ticketing info nor a specific date.
The Guardian reported that Sam Phripp, the Mendip council’s chair of licensing, said, “Any event would have to be COVID-safe, and Mendip will work with other organizations and the organizers to make sure that’s the case.”
On Saturday, Glastonbury organizers are livestreaming a five-hour concert, Live at Worthy Farm, featuring filmed performances on the deserted Glastonbury festival site from Coldplay, Haim, Michael Kiwanuka, and others.
Set times & extra acts - inc @george_ezra & @roisinmurphy - announced for our #LiveAtWorthyFarm global livestream on Sat, May 22nd (with encore screenings on Sun, May 23rd)!
