The 2020 Glastonbury Festival (which was sadly cancelled due to covid restrictions) had a stellar line-up, featuring sets from legends like Paul McCartney, Diana Ross and Taylor Swift. With so many glittering names on the line-up, youd be forgiven for thinking that the Glastonbury organisers pay their performers a pretty penny to be there. However, an interview with Emily Eavis reveals that this isnt the case. In an interview with the BBC, Eavis revealed that Glastonbury generally pays its big performers "less than 10%" of what they'd earn at other festivals. According to Eavis, it's the festival's commitment to charity that causes them to drive their prices down, with the festival giving around 2M a year to charitable causes, including Oxfam, WaterAid and GreenPeace. Eavis explained: "That's the reason why we're not commercial, in that respect. We're not in the same bracket as everyone else when it comes to paying artists massive fees." She described the festival as "relying entirely on goodwill." Thankfully, plans for Glastonbury 2022 are going ahead and will take place from June 22-27, 2022. If you missed out on tickets last time, you're out of luck  tickets are currently sold out as all deposits for the 2020 festival have rolled over. However, there will be a resale for any refunded tickets in April 2022. Find out more details on how you can try your luck getting your hands on resales below.
