There’ll be no Glastonbury festival in 2012


The festival’s organizer Michael Eavis have decided that there’ll be no Glastonbury festival in 2012 as too many of England’s Portaloos will be in service at the London Olympics.The festival organizer confirmed the sad news:

"We have decided to cancel in 2012 because there will be severe shortages of police and Portaloo buildings – both essential to the festival…We have our own stock of portable toilets but we always need more. We shop around with four companies to get the best price, but we are not bothering for 2012. 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"

Glastonbury spokesman John Sherlaw further added that due to the clash of London Olympics event the organizer decided to cancel the festival for 2012 year because additional security is required on London Olympics event.Glastonbury reportedly spends £1.2million a year on policing the actions of 130,000 visitors (and potential gate crashers), but Eavis claims that “there will not be enough police to cover the festival in 2012 as they will all be in London.”

Glastonbury festival: The full lineup, including Gorillaz, as a spreadsheet

U2 announced yesterday that they were pulling out of the headline spot at this year's Glastonbury festival, leaving a rock-shaped hole that organisers Michael and Emily Eavis have filled with Damon Albarn's side-project Gorrilaz. Speculation about a possible replacement had included Dizzie Rascal, the Rolling Stones and Kylie Minogue, who pulled out of her Glastonbury performance in 2005 when she was hit by breast cancer.

But Glastonbury is about so much more than the headline acts. Who else will be rocking Worthy Farm over the weekend of 23-27 June? Using information from the official Glastonbury website, we've compiled a list of all the artists playing this year. Check out the running order on the main stages in the table below, or download the spreadsheet for the full line-up across all the stages and venues announced so far.

Last year, RichardAblewhite created a magnificent visual mash-up by combining the Datablog's Glastonbury dataset with content from several other sites. Can you do anything similarly spectacular with this year's line-up?
