Following reports that Glastonbury is set to change location in 2018, Emily Eavis has set the record straight.
As previously reported, Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis recently hinted that he’s planning “something special” for the festival’s fallow year in 2018, and that the event is likely to be held outside of Somerset.
Subsequent reports suggested that the festival might be held in Longleat Safari Park - but Emily Eavis is keen to clarify these rumours. “The main thing to set straight is that Glastonbury Festival itself will always be at Worthy Farm,” she told BBC News.
Speaking of the fallow year event, she admitted, “It's going to be the whole team behind the Glastonbury Festival but it's not going to be called Glastonbury.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Eavis confirmed plans to pay tribute to David Bowie and Prince - both of whom died this year. Speaking of Prince, she revealed that his much-rumoured appearance at the festival had been “close to happening for three years."
