Be prepared to make the most of Glastonbury Festival this year, as organisers say it will be taking a break in 2026. The festival will take a fallow year - a planned respite where the event does not take place, allowing the farmland to recover and the natural environment to regenerate.

Traffic is expected to be heavy today as thousands of fans travel to Worthy Farm for the second day of the Glastonbury Festival. The gates opened at 8am yesterday (Wednesday, June 25) as many wait with excitement for the main event to get underway.

Glastonbury, the world's largest greenfield music festival, opened its gates on Wednesday to around 200,000 ticket holders who will see performers ranging from Olivia Rodrigo to Rod Stewart and Charli xcx.
