This. Glastonbury necessitates six days AL, and pretty much every other festival needs at least four - so that’s 14 out of the statutory legal min of 20, for the year. Plus they’re pretty much all between late May and August.
If this is what they do, then that’s their decision, but they’ll lose a fair few experienced and dedicated stewards as a result.
Could the points change be an early tactic to ensure people volunteer for more festivals this and next year to qualify for 7 in 7 to qualify for Glastonbury in 2027 seeing as it's a fallow year in 2026?
