Mendip Council granted Glastonbury a new licence, giving the the go ahead to hold the festival until 2016.

For the very first time since the festival started the licence was passed without objection.

Again Glastonbury will take a fallow year in 2012 to help the land recover from the mass of fans that flock to the festival every year.

Jason Kirkwood, a spokesman at Mendip District Council, explained to eFestivals: “This is the first time that there won’t be a hearing (for Glastonbury Festival) amending the application.

“I’ve been here since 2001 and it’s never happened before, as far as I know. The objections have been mediated to a mutually agreeable solution, and so the amendments (to the licence) will go straight through.”
