Glastonbury Festival recently revealed details of a potential sister event called the Variety Bazaar.
Despite previously marking 2019 as the year Variety Bazaar will debut, founder Michael Eavis and organiser Emily Eavis have said that it’s more likely to take place in 2021.
It was also confirmed that, provided that the Variety Bazaar is a success, it would take place every fifth year, in Glastonbury Festival’s fallow year. The new sister festival will debut at a location 100 miles from the current Glastonbury site and will take place during the same weekend as Glastonbury usually would.
Speaking to The Guardian, Emily Eavis said of Glastonbury’s future: “I think we’re most likely going to come back [to Worthy Farm] in 2019 after the fallow year in 2018, when there will be no event. Then 2020 is our 50th anniversary. And 2021, we may then do a show somewhere else, which we’re calling the Variety Bazaar. But none of this is set in stone.”
Glastonbury 2017 will run from 21-25 June.
So far, Radiohead are the only officially confirmed act for the festival, while The Avalanches also leaked that they would be performing, along with Kris Kristofferson.
Other rumoured acts for Glastonbury 2017 include Ed Sheeran, Foo Fighters and Depeche Mode.
