Emily Eavis has hinted that Glastonbury Festival fans could be treated to some "gems from the vault" this June as plans to mark the festival's 50th year are underway.
Glastonbury 2020 was due to be the event's biggest and best yet, with Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift, Sir Paul McCartney and Diana Ross just a few of the superstar acts named on the Worthy Farm lineup.
But, shortly after the first line-up poster was released, the coronavirus pandemic put a halt to their plans and the festival was cancelled.

Glastonbury 2020
Although the lucky people who managed to bag themselves tickets to this year's festival can be reassured that their tickets are still valid for the new dates in 2021, Glasto fans could be at a loss as to what to do with themselves now there's no festival in 2020.
On Thursday (May 21) Emily Eavis took to social media to give us all an update on what we might expect come June 24.
Her post read: "For everyone asking about our broadcast plans for what would have been the festival weekend, an announcement is coming next week with all the details.
"And there’s going to be a lot of gems unearthed from the Glastonbury vault!"
But what could this mean?
In a post to Twitter a week ago (May 15) Emily also revealed that some classic moments from last year's festival had been uploaded to YouTube for us all to view, and this has left fans wanting big things from the BBC schedule next month.

Glastonbury TV clues - what other cancelled events have done
The BBC haven't only had to create a whole new schedule of programming for what would usually be their Glastonbury Festival coverage.
Just a week ago, BBC One put together a whole evening of celebration to mark what would have been this year's Eurovision Song Contest.
Three programmes were put before our eyes, including a live show from Rotterdam in The Netherlands, featuring performances from past winners and competitors and a look at the songs and artist who had been set to compete this year.
There was also a chance to vote for the UK's favourite Eurovision performance of all time (presented by Graham Norton) and an A to Z of Eurovision, hosted by Rylan Clark-Neal.
Could this offer a clue as to what the BBC will do with Glastonbury?
Expect highlights shows, perhaps some old live performances from Worthy Farm in full and - maybe - some stars performing from home.
Paul McCartney, who had been lined up to headline Glastonbury 2020 on Saturday, June 27, performed from home for the One World: Together at Home charity event earlier in the coronavirus crisis.
We wouldn't rule out him doing the same for any tribute to Glastonbury's 50th on the TV.
