| Glastonbury Festival has been granted a new 10-year licence, which will see it run until 2024.
Awarded by Mendip District Council and only the second time it's been granted without going to a public hearing, the new licence will reportedly see passes for performers and staff rise by 25,500 to 63,000 by 2024.
However, Jeannette Marsh, chair of the licencing board, stated that safety checks and overseeing of the event will not get complacent even though it has been granted a new licence.
"We aren't complacent - just because Glastonbury Festival now has a licence until 2024, this doesn't mean it escapes the close scrutiny that any event this size will have.
"We recognise how important it is to get this world-famous event right, and the huge impact that it has on the local area and community, both positive and negative."
This year's Glastonbury takes place from June 27 to 29 and those confirmed by organisers so far are Arcade Fire, Disclosure, Blondie, Dolly Parton and Lily Allen. |
