Glastonbury sells ‘a few thousand less tickets’ to avoid overcrowding


Festival organiser Emily Eavis says other changes include Shangri-La area ‘going full trees and green space’

In an attempt to avoid a repeat of last year’s safety concerns, the festival has sold “a few thousand less tickets” for this month’s event, the organiser Emily Eavis has said. There will also be performances from the US rapper Doechii, British singer Raye, the Irish rap trio Kneecap, and Rod Stewart, who will occupy the coveted legends slot. At the time, the festival said major artists performing at smaller stages with limited capacities was “part of the magic of Glastonbury” and some fans may be left disappointed.
