Here is why there is no Glastonbury Festival next year - leaving fans gutted

As Glastonbury comes to a close after five days of camping for some revellers, it’s time to think about if you’ll be going next year.

Or perhaps you’ll finally stop talking about how you want to go, and actually register for tickets in 2018.
Why? Because Dave Grohl will still be singing The Best of You by the time next June rolls around?
Well, not quite. Every so often Glastonbury has to take a fallow year and 2018 is one of those years.
It's a necessity because so many guests attend the event annually that after a while the land simply needs two years to recover.
As a result the next festival at Worthy Farm will be in 2019.

The last fallow year was in 2012, the year after Beyoncé headlined the Pyramid Stage.
This proved to be a smart decision as the weekend the festival would have taken place, the grounds endured periods of extremely heavy rain, although that’s nothing Glasto goers can’t deal with.
However, you can already register to buy tickets for when the festival returns in 2019.
You can do that for FREE on the official Glastonbury website here .
Ed Sheeran headlines the Pyramid Stage on Sunday night, to bring the festival to a close.

What the fans about the fallow year

Claire Herbert, 32, from Llanelli in South Wales, runs a shop at the event in Pilton, Somerset.
"I don't know what I'll do really," she said. "It is great that the event has a fallow year.
"It is not good for me because it means I have one less festival to work, but it gives me time to prepare for the others.
"I will use the time, but I will miss it."
Alistair Monty, 29, from London, said: "This is my third year here. Next year, I'll be hard at work in the office."
Thomas Driscoll, 28, from Dartmouth, said: "This is my fifth Glastonbury. I will be lost without it next year. I have no idea what I'll do."
Holly Maddick, 19, from Buckingham, has attended the event for the past two years.
"I think it is nice to have a break because obviously the amount of work of everyone, it must be nice to have a summer off for the organisers.
"I haven't got anything planned, I might go to BoomTown to make up for it."
Jackie Goldup, 59, from Kent, said: "I've got the Isle of Wight and Reading Festival this year.
"My plan was to do two festival in my 60th year and my husband got me tickets for Reading.
"I have two to look forward to. I've left my husband and grandkids behind."
