Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis has told Time Out magazine that there will be no festival in 2006 to give locals ‘a breather’.
The announcement came as the festival was granted a licence for this year's event. At the hearing Eavis was quick to praise Mean Fiddler's festivals director Melvin Benn, who was responsible for the festival's 2005 licence application.
Eavis commented the year off was: "To give ourselves and the village a bit of a breather". He added that the festival will now take a break every four years. "It keeps up the excitement. You take a year off and then you're so excited to get back into it again."
