Glastonbury: from here to eternity
Michael Eavis talks exclusively to eFestivals

eFestivals recently caught up with Glastonbury Festival founder Michael Eavis, to ask him about the Festival's future and another refusal by U2....

With the Festival's future now seemingly assured, it looks like the yearly licence worries will be a thing of the past, and with plans for expansion in 2007, getting a ticket shouldn't be as difficult.

It's hoped that 2007 will feature extra space as well as some site re-arrangement - but not extra stages, and after 2005's flash flood there's new drainage systems being put into Worthy Farm.

With plans for Glastonbury to go on for eternity, Michael confirms that they'll be no Glastonbury in 2011, that the ticketing systems will change again, and speaks of his relationship with Pilton villagers.

Talking about bands, he tells how the infamous 2005 Primal Scream performance made him laugh, which dead act he'd love to have back to play, and his support for new bands (and just how out of touch he is with those new bands!). Oh ... and no U2.

He also says why you'll never see him looking like this ....
Michael Eavis - not your Glastonbury guide

...and why he'll never read what you're reading right now.
