While many perceive the festival as a permanent fixture, Worthy Farm remains a working dairy farm first and a festival site second.<\/p>\n<p>Every five to six years, the event is paused entirely, giving the land, local ecosystem, and farming operations a chance to recover from the heavy use of vehicles, tents, stages, and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Festival co-organizer <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Emily_Eavis\"><strong>Emily Eavis<\/strong><\/a> has described the fallow year as an opportunity for &#8216;the land to rest&#8217; and for the farm&#8217;s cattle to reclaim pastures normally occupied by one of the largest temporary gatherings on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>Eavis has also noted that the break benefits organizers, staff, local residents, and audiences, allowing everyone to step away before returning refreshed.<\/p>\n<p>The practice has been part of the festival&#8217;s long-term planning since its early days, with fallow years typically scheduled every five to six years.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Glastonbury will not take place in 2026. The pause is a planned measure intended to support the festival&#8217;s long-term viability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Glastonbury Festival will not be held in 2026 as part of a pre-planned fallow year to allow Worthy Farm to recover from the event&#8217;s impact.","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":6157,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[515],"tags":[750,747,745,749,748,746],"class_list":["post-6156","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tech-innovation","tag-emily-eavis","tag-fallow-year","tag-glastonbury-festival","tag-music-festivals","tag-sustainability","tag-worthy-farm","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Glastonbury 2026 Fallow Year Explained<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Glastonbury Festival will skip 2026 for a planned fallow year, letting Worthy Farm recover from 200,000+ attendees.
