Not sure how they change the fallow year thing as it’s not part of the planning permission.
 

Nor is it part of the event license at the moment. if they want to make it part of the event license then I would expect GFL to want something in return. Limited Thursday main stage running?

not totally sure how it all works .... but no mentions of anything like that ... and Melvin was there till the end

It's a Parish Council - they can't pass (or reject) it - all they can do is agree on an opinion which then gets passed to Mendip (or if this reaches April, Somerset) to be considered alongside everything else.

It wasn’t the licensing it was the planning application.

Approval given by Mendip Council.

What a stroke of luck.

Just 2 days before they are disbanded 😉

Read the planning officers report here.

Seems to have been approved with the conditions attached- nothing jumping out at me specifically.

Wasn't sure where to ask this question and didn't want to start a new thread, saw the mention of fallow in this discussion:

Do we know for certainty that Glasto is happening in 2024, and when is the next anticipated fallow year, 25? 26?

Thanks

Based on the permission it will be 2026.

Yes, Emily said headliners are booked for "next year".

Assumption is that '22 is the start of a reset cycle of fallow years. So we'll have '22,-'26 with 2027 being the fallow year.

I thought the permission was granted for 4 on 1 off?

Pretty sure it's 5&1 as it ran 2013-2017 with 2018 off.

Was meant to run 2019-2023 with 2024 off but that's been pushed back now with 20 and 21 being cancelled so 22 was seen as the start of a new 5 years.

For entirely selfish reasons, i'd like the fallow year to be 2026. Im planning on going to the World Cup and having glastonbury also on my calendar would make things altogether very busy around june/july. Can someone make Michael and Emily aware of this please? Thanks.

Switch to Somerset Council seems to have ballsed that link up - can't find on new site either.

Besides we don't want the old 'Should they show football at Glastonbury' debate if it can be avoided.
