Glastonbury Festival to go ahead

England's controversial Glastonbury is set to go ahead this summer after organisers secured an entertainment licence from the local District Council.

The three-day event, held in Somerset, was cancelled last year due to crowd safety fears.

The last time the event was held, in June 2000, up to 100,000 gatecrashers entered without paying, bringing the total attendance figures to 200,000 - double the number of people that it was licensed for.
