No Ban For Glastonbury Flags
After a huge uproar from festival goers concerning the recent announcement from Melvin Benn to ban flags at Glastonbury Michael Eavis has told NME that he wont be supporting such a ban and that Glastonbury goers are free to bring their flags and fly them with pride.
Recently the management team at Reading & Leeds festival announced that they would be banning flags at this years event – set to go off this weekend, it was also confirmed that Melvin Benn had tried to get Glastonbury to tow the line in a bid to gain support for the initial decision to ban flags at Reading & Leeds.
Is Glastonbury Going to Ban Flags?
Apparently Michael Eavis is considering banning flags at future festivals. This comes after the announcement that they will be barred from Reading and Leeds.
Melvin Benn, the head at Festival Republic, told the BBC that has was talking to Michael Eavis about a ban at Glastonbury.
“You couldn’t see the acts. The flags were everywhere. There have always been flags, but not to the level that there has been. And the flags have become very long and tall.” – Melvin Benn
I personally think its a bad idea to ban flags, they are a huge part of the atmosphere, plus almost all have some kind of outlandish theme or statement. All this is what makes Glastonbury a real festival. If they do decide to ban flags at Glastonbury then it will just be another step along the path of commercialism that they have been taking the last few years.
Dont let them destroy Glastonbury and turn it into another Pop Festival. Voice your concerns here and tell your friends to comment too.

There will be no Glastonbury in 2012
It has recently been confirmed that we are certainly going to have Glastonbury 2011. The papers have been signed and its a go as far as festival organisers are concerned.
2006 saw a break in the Glastonbury annual calender, this was to allow the farm to recover from the damage caused by the floods of 2006 and for adequate preparations to be put in place to prevent future disasters.
With the coming of the olympics in 2012, rumours are rife that 2012 will pose as another gap year for the festival. Festival organisers have refused to comment on this, which only leads to further speculation.
