Will this be the last Glastonbury?
Festival organiser, Emily Eavis, has hinted that this year's Glastonbury may be the last.
Emily has said she has been discussing the festival's future with her father Michael Eavis, who founded the festival in 1970.
She says they are treating this year's festival as though it were the last.
Emily said "We had a kind of retrospective time during Christmas, talking about it and whether it's a long term thing.
"I kinda feel that we should ply everything into this as if it be the last.
"It's a risky, risky business and it would be nice to think, to know that it could go on forever, (but) I don't know if that's possible."
Tickets for this years event go on sale on April 1st. You need to register at www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk before buying a ticket.
No Lost Vagueness at this year's Glastonbury
The founder of Lost Vagueness has said his popular field and entertainment will not be at this year's Glastonbury as it's getting too commercial.
The field, which featured wacky cabaret shows, weddings and shops, was a popular after-hours hang-out and featured music and secret gigs when the main stages had closed.
Roy Gurvitz of Lost Vagueness told 6Music "Up until now [Festival Republic and Mean Fiddler] took a back seat. But now it's starting to influence the line-up of bands and the general feel of the festival"
Glasto organiser, Michael Eavis, says the field will instead feature three new arenas.
Glasto tickets go on sale April 1st. Check www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk
