    Michael Eavis Casts Doubt Over Glastonbury Festival Long-Term Future

    Glastonbury Festival organiser Michael Eavis has cast doubt over the event’s long-term future.

    Eavis, who owns Worthy Farm where the festival takes place, said music fans were starting to tire of festivals.

    He told The Times: "Partly it's economics, but there is a feeling that that people have seen it all before.

    "We've probably got another three or four years. Womad and Latitude are not selling out.”

    Eavis also claimed that his festival has suffered financial problems of its own, especially in 2008.
