The festival comittee had already warned the festival participants on the garbage problem.

Those who brought tents to celebrate the six-days five-nights music, ware reminded to carry their tent home rather than leaving it in the location.

The poster written "Loved the environment, do not leave garbage" also sticked everywhere. 514 food outlets had already asked to use the tools that were environmentally friendly, and purchasers were suggested to dispose the trash in its place.

The festival founder, Michael Eavis, decided to obviate Glastonbury in 2018. He mentions it as a 'fallow year,' in the purpose to make Worthy Farm 'breathe' back from the passionate party.

It is a 'break' that has always taken every six years. "This place needs a break, altogether with the village and life around it," said Eavis.

But, the festival will be back in the following year.

In 2020, Glastonbury will celebrate its 50 years. It is still the most awaited music festival.

We all know Jon Snow will be back in some shape or form this season, and at this point we're ready for the show to just come back already and stop teasing us. Enough with the cagey interviews, the oh-look-everyone-is-dead promos, and all the other taunting we've had to put up with for the past year.
