GLASTONBURY is in full swing and festival-goers will want to make the most of this year. The iconic festival announced it will not be going ahead in 2026, and here's why. 2 Glastonbury will not take place in 2026, but don't worry because the iconic festival will return (stock image) Credit: Getty Organisers revealed they will be taking a break next year as the festival takes a fallow year. This is a planned respite where the event does not take place, allowing the farmland to recover. In turn, this will allow the natural environment at Worthy Farm to regenerate. Glastonbury takes a hiatus every five years to avoid causing irreparable damage to the working pastures. Read More On Glastonbury "The fallow year is important because it gives the land a rest, it gives the cows a chance to be out for longer and reclaim their land," co-organiser Emily Eavis told the Fallow year Fallow years are common in agricultural practices, where farmers leave land unplanted to improve soil quality. This allows the land time to replenish its nutrients, improving it for cattle grazing. While the festival's last official fallow year took place in 2018, organisers had to cancel two consecutive years in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid pandemic. Most read in Showbiz Co-organisers explained that Glastonbury was once again "due a fallow year". "Sustainability and the need to live in harmony with the land has always been vital to Glastonbury Festival," Emily said. Recently reunited noughties pop band accidentally reveal secret Glastonbury set "And I think it's important because it just gives everybody a little time to just switch off". The fallow year also offers a break for the local community in the village of Pilton. Environmental concerns To further limit harm to the local environment, organisers have implemented a series of initiatives to reduce any waste left on-site. A "love the farm, leave no trace" pledge has been introduced, which festival-goers are asked to sign up to when purchasing a festival ticket. As well as this, single-use plastic plates, cups, mugs, and cutlery have also been banned on site.
