Michael Eavis Says Glastonbury Could Go On For 8 More Years

Glastonbury Festival could run until 2015, as organiser Michael Eavis says he hopes to keep hosting the event for another seven years.


Eavis, told the BBC, "It's a schoolboy's dream come true, this is. When it works like this, we've got the best, fantastic show."


Michael did also explain that the rain-drenched event last year nearly put him off from hosting the festival: "Last year I thought I genuinely can't do this anymore. All the tents were left behind and the site was a mess."


This weekend's event, which starts today Friday June 27th, will see Kings Of Leon and The Verve joined by a controversial Jay-Z headline slot.


Unlike other years which have sold out instantly, poor ticket sales troubled the festival this year with 800 still remaining now.
