Glastonbury is cancelled again and people have been slinging the mud – 11 favourites
In news that will have surprised nobody, except perhaps for Gavin Williamson, Glastonbury has been cancelled. Not the place – just the festival, before anyone contacts Laurence Fox.
With great regret, we must announce that this year’s Glastonbury Festival will not take place, and that this will be another enforced fallow year for us. Tickets for this year will roll over to next year. Full statement below and on our website. Michael & Emily pic.twitter.com/SlNdwA2tHd

It’s the second year that Covid-19 has called a halt to the biggest event in the UK festivals calendar, and people had thoughts.

Of course Glastonbury is cancelled again, you can’t hug your nan atm but you think you’ll be all allowed to shit in a field and not shower for three days with only hand sanitiser to keep you clean, by summer?

Sadly inevitable from the moment Matt Hancock said he thought we'd be enjoying 'a Great British Summer' https://t.co/sTX2tHe0ni

Very worrying to hear Coronavirus infections have reached the Pyramid stage. https://t.co/oWaOhmjovR

Damn, Glastonbury is cancelled. I was really looking forward to standing in a field, hungover, dehydrated, needing a poo, with my view of a band obscured by people waving huge flags and a drunk guy directly in front of me with a drunk girl on his shoulders.

Bloody Covid, even Led Zepplin never closed Glastonbury two years running.

At least we know who’s really to blame.
I am so sorry but I've had to cancel Glastonbury this year.
