Glastonbury 2020 Has Been Cancelled due to the coronavirus
Glastonbury 2020 has officially been cancelled due to the coronavirus. The organizers made the announcement on Wednesday, after confirming headliners just last week amid the outbreak of COVID-19.
The full lineup included acts like Burna Boy, Seun Kuti and Sampa the Great. It was later determined that the festival, scheduled for June 24-28, would fall extremely close to the predicted peak of coronavirus in the UK.
“Clearly this was not a course of action we hoped to take for our 50th anniversary event,” said organizers in a statement, “but following the new government measures announced this week—and in times of such unprecedented uncertainty—this is now our only viable option.” The full announcement was made via the festival’s Instagram page, which also outlined refund policies for ticket holders.

The organizers of Glastonbury, the UK’s premiere music and arts festival, have moved forward with announcing its 2020 anniversary lineup despite coronavirus fears.
The extensive lineup was unveiled last week, and features Burna Boy, as well as fellow Nigerian musician Seun Kuti, who was set to perform at Coachella this year before the festival was postponed till October. Zambian artist Sampa the Great is also slated to perform.
The announcement was made on March 13, in the midst of coronavirus shutdowns. “As things stand we are still working hard to deliver our 50th anniversary festival in June,” said the festival’s co-organiser Emily Eavis in an Instagram post. “We are very proud of the bill that we have put together over the last year or so,” she added.
“No one has a crystal ball to see exactly where we will all be 15 weeks from now, but we are keeping our fingers firmly crossed that it will be here at Worthy Farm for the greatest show on earth.”
This year’s Glastonbury headliners include Kendrick Lamar, Paul McCartney, Diana Rossand Taylor Swift.
Several major festivals, concerts and other large gatherings have been either postponed or cancelled in the wake of the pandemic. Many major cities across the world have restricted large gatherings, with some putting a cap at more than 10 people. It appears the UK’s response to the pandemic, however, has been less proactive than other European countries, which may reflect that organizer’s decision to move forward with the announcement.
Glastonbury, as it stands, is scheduled to take place between June 24-28. Despite its dates being several weeks out, according to medical experts in the UK, it is not likely that the virus would have slowed down by then. According to a report from the the Guardian, it is believed that the peak of the outbreak will occur between late May and mid June, just days ahead of the festival’s opening date.
Still, uncertainty remains, and as of Tuesday the organizers have not announced an official cancellation or postponement of the festival.
