DropBeat Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Watching the video clip makes it sound like he's talking about fallow years. He doesn't mention 2019 at all, just the article that runs with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 2019 doesn't make sense, with Michael talking about it being for one year in five, for the fallow year - unless they've moved the fallow year back to 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5co77ie Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 but the current fallow year is 2018 - and as far as we know there's nothing on - unless the fallow year has moved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartbert two hats Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 2019 is conjecture on the headline writer's part, based on the fact that Longleat was pencilled in for 2019. They probably didn't realise that the next fallow had been recently confirmed as 2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawdusty surfer Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 'To let the land recover' Looks to me like they want an alternative site for the current fallow year cycle to keep the income stream flowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DropBeat Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) My take on it is the only thing that's changed is that they have found a viable site for the fallow year fest Emily has mentioned. 2019 talk is just the journalist putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5 I think. The fallow year fest seems to be a better alternative than no festival at all as it allows them to employ the team through the fallow year. Given that, maybe they will delay the fallow year to 2019 now they have an alternative site that could be ready by then. 2023 does seem too far in advance.

Exactly, got to be some misquoting or something going on. No way will they have a fallow year followed by the event at another location.

parsonjack Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 1 year in 5 would surely mean 4 on 1 off.....if that was the case then 2017 would be the year off on the current run....which we know it's not....so is he essentially saying that 2018 is on... but not at Worthy?

Jamie D Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 This is annoying. I'm getting married Glastonbury weekend in 2018 on the basis it's the fallow year. We were even thinking of booking the Bimble Inn. They better not have moved it! It's so frustrating that in this age of click bait, all news sources, including the BBC, are stating that the festival is moving. When in fact it's not. There is going to be an additional festival when it's not usually on. But that's not a great headline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 I thought they'd arleady given up on holding 2018 elsewhere. Seems a bit too soon when you think they aren't talking like there's a definite site and it'd be eighteen months away and on sale in ten.
