There's lots of reports flying around about a proposed festival in Ibiza next year, with the Glastonbury Festival name being associated with it.

This seems to be nothing more that a wish by the Ibiza event's promoters for their event to be thought of as similar to Glastonbury.

A spokesman for Glastonbury Festival has confirmed that at this moment, this proposed event is nothing to do with Glastonbury Festival, Michael Eavis, or his team. And it's extremely unlikely that the Festival, Michael, or his team will have any involvement - Michael has been asked to be involved in many events in the past and has declined, as they are not the unique event that is Glastonbury Festival. There is no reason to think that things will be different this time.

We'll soon be bringing you some in-depth suggestions of alternatives for those of you who'll be missing your Worthy Farm fix next summer, so wait for that if you're in need of some help of where to find the best alternative for you for next summer.
