Glastonbury cancellations "big hit" for Greenpeace

Environmental charity Greenpeace has endured "a big financial hit" because only one Glastonbury festival has been held in the last four years, BBC reports. Glastonbury usually takes place on the last weekend of June but was cancelled in 2021 and 2020, due to Covid-19, whereas in 2018 it has been cancelled because of a family feud between the potential new hosts. Founder Michael Eavis is one of Greenpeace's biggest donors, often giving up to £500,000 after each festival. Greenpeace's Bob Wilson said it had also missed having a key opportunity to "sign up new supporters" at the festival which attracts thousands.
