Glastonbury 'will never lose its licence'
Michael Eavis claims Glastonbury is too important not to happen.
Glastonbury will carry on The founder of the Glastonbury Festival has claimed the event will never be denied a licence because of the money it generates for the area.

Michael Eavis told BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs several parties benefit from the influx of revellers each year, meaning it is an important source of income for the local economy.

In 2007, Mendip council in Somerset agreed to a four-year lease for the festival, which is one of the biggest in the UK.

Mr Eavis told the news provider there is little danger of the event not taking place.

"The local economy gets £100 million a year. So there's no discussion about not allowing the festival a licence anymore. They won't stop it now. They're all on board now because everybody earns some money from it," he said.

In other news, the organisers of the Hop Form Festival in Kent recently had an application to expand the event from one day to three rejected by Tonbridge and Malling council.
