Glastonbury Here Until 2016

The Mendip Council have granted Glastonbury festival a brand new licence, which means it will be around until at least 2016.

For the very first time the licence was passed without any objections.

Again Glastonbury will take a fallow year in 2012 to help the land recover from the mass of fans that flock to the festival every year.

Jason Kirkwood, a spokesman at Mendip District Council, explained to eFestivals: "This is the first time that there won't be a hearing (for Glastonbury Festival) amending the application.

"I've been here since 2001 and it's never happened before, as far as I know. The objections have been mediated to a mutually agreeable solution, and so the amendments (to the licence) will go straight through."
