Glastonbury Festival organiser Michael Eavis has revealed (here) that the festival will get a new name if/when it relocates to a new site in 2019.

Speaking to Paul Cannon of Glastonbury FM, he said the event will be billed as The Glastonbury Festival team presents The Variety Bazaar.

About the proposed new site for the event, he said "It's half way to the Midlands from here...and there's only one landowner. I've got 22 landowners where I am now. I just wonder whether the next generation will want to negotiate with so many people. It's a very difficult job to hold it together."

If it's one site and one landowner, and halfway to the Midlands from Pilton, our money is on land owned by Earl Bathurst who's Cirencester Park is the family seat ... then again, efestivals has made some discrete enquiries to some aristocracy closely related to 'is Lordship (tug tug), and it's apparently not there.

Currently, the stated plans of Glastonbury Festival is a festival at Pilton this year, and no festival next year. If 2019 is on the proposed new site, this year's might be the very last Glastonbury Festival.
