Glastonbury organisers tease "big event" away from current site

After talk of Glastonbury possibly having to leave Worthy Farm, festival organiser Emily Eavis has teased future plans.

Eavis has said a "big event" away from the current site is being planned for 2018 or 2019, though she didn't give too much away with her tweet.

This obviously led to a flurry of questions from her followers, including one which asked whether the new event would mean 2018 wouldn't be a fallow year. Eavis then replied: "It's possible, but it's a bit too early to confirm at the moment."

Adding that the organisers are focused on making this year - which features Carl Cox, Muse and Skepta - the best yet, her tweets follow comments from her dad Michael who said the festival may be outgrowing Worthy Farm.

Glasto's also promised to book a lot more women this year than previous years, also introducing reusable steel cups.

Keep an eye on Emily Eavis' Twitter for more information.
