A new date has been set for the decision on Glastonbury’s license application. The festival organiser have applied for a four year license, taking them up to 2010, and is for an expanded capacity of 177,500 people.
Mendip council have confirmed a decision will be made after consulting relevant local bodies, residents and businesses on 26 March, just a week before tickets go on sale, and a whole month after the pre-registration period for tickets ends on 28th of February.
The new expanded capacity will, if approved allow another 27,500 people into the festival, although Glastonbury have tempered this with an attempt to get back to the festival’s environmental roots with a new "village green" area and greater use of coaches to transport fans.
