Glastonbury 2020 Cancelled - I am sorry to be the bearer of this news.

[MaxPower 35]

Obviously nowhere near the worst thing going on, but still really devastating.

Really hope they give people the option to roll their tickets over.

I'd guess there's a few calls they needs to make before they go public, but I'd also guess that if Michael is telling his older daughter it's cancelled an announcement can't be too far away.

That is my thinking, time to grab that cheap bottle of whisky.

Gutted but let’s all fight through this and party hard next year, all healthy and something to celebrate

yep going all out for tickets whenever the sale happens, and will try to volunteer with Festaff this summer if any festivals take place to get a better chance of that as a backup

I was hopeful up until. Now

Fucking pangolins

Fucking shit

This is inevitable, I suppose.

At least there's no FOMO. We're all in the same boat. Still heartbreaking, though.

[Clarence Clemons 6]

I feel sick

Didn’t have a ticket this year sadly but gutted for everyone, particularly in the 50th anniversary year 😞

Until there is official word this thread should be locked. We don’t know how genuine the post is. It’s a very strange way to announce it. Someone that connected to the festival should understand how social media works and should only communicate through official channels.

StoneCircle isn't just a random poster.  If she says Michael's eldest daughter has made a post about the festival being cancelled, I believe her.

Bollocks.

Yep, perfectly valid thread imo

[42hamlet 39]

This is the worst day: my work has been shut down for a month, Glastonbury’s cancelled and my best mate’s dad passed away this morning

 

i know bad things supposedly come in threes but for fuck sake

I don’t believe random posts from social media. You never actually know whose posted the information. Just because it’s on that account doesn’t mean it’s genuine. It’s a very bizarre way of making a statement.

In tears.

I think it’s fair to put some faith in Juliet Eavis. The screenshot the user posted contains the bottom of her genuine Facebook profile pic too
