Could we see Glastonbury cancelled because of the rain and bad weather?

Glastonbury Festival 2019 is less than two weeks away and while that thought brings much excitement there is also a nervousness for those attending due to the recent bad weather.

The majority of the country has been battling heavy rain with flooding in many areas.

Those lucky enough to bag a ticket to Glastonbury are now anticipating what the ground at the iconic Worthy Farm will be like by the time the festival starts.

Those who are set to experience their first Glastonbury have even began to question whether the festival would go ahead if the bad weather continues or worsens.

The good news is it is very (very) unlikely Glastonbury would get cancelled due to the weather. One year the ground was so bad someone even used a canoe to get around - and the festival still continued.

The only year Glastonbury was cancelled was back in 2012 due to a lack of portaloos and police due to the London Olympics, which was taking place at the same time.

At the time, Michael Eavis said: "There will be a huge demand for Portaloo toilets in London, so everyone will push up their prices and I can see it getting very expensive.

"We take a year off anyway every fifth or sixth year so we looked at the timing and thought it seemed sensible."

This year's Glastonbury is set to take place from Wednesday, June 26 - Sunday, June 30. Headliners for this year include The Killers, Stormzy and The Cure.

So far, the Met Office is predicting the weather will turn much drier towards the end of June, so keep positive Glastonbury goers.
