Glastonbury organisers have been given the go-ahead to host a festival in September, but for one day only and without any campers.
Mendip Council has granted a licence for an event that has been dubbed ‘Glastonbury Lite’.
The licence allows for a one-day music festival on the Worthy Farm site in Somerset with up to 50,000 attendees. The main festival, which has been cancelled for the second year running due to Covid, accommodates 200,000.
