The iconic and grand Glastonbury Festival was cancelled in 2020 due the beginnings of concern surrounding the coming Covid-19 coronavirus. As the virus has developed into a global health-crisis, the ongoing pandemic closed the gates on this year’s Glastonbury Festival 2021 . It marked the second year in a row that Glastonbury could not go on, opening the doors for speculation that the Glastonbury Event Company might go bankrupt.

Today, it was discovered on eFestivals.com through a forum that two of Glastonbury chief organisers have created, rather secretly, a new events company called Holy Cow Events. Emily Eavis and Nick Dewey have collaborated together and put their names on Holy Cow at Companies House and Incorporated on February 8th, 2021; shortly after this years cancellation of Glastonbury.

With great regret, we must announce that this year’s Glastonbury Festival will not take place, and that this will be another enforced fallow year for us. Tickets for this year will roll over to next year. Full statement below and on our website. Michael & Emily pic.twitter.com/SlNdwA2tHd

The official registered address for the brand-new Holy Cow Events is under the well-known Worthy-Farm which is owned by Emily Eavis’ father Michael Eavis, who is also the 84-year-old founding-father of the Glastonbury Festival. Holy Cow Events is listed as a performing arts related company at this time and it is unclear what its purpose will be.

Michael Eavis has expressed interest in hosting an event in September 2021, in Glastonbury’s place. He has stated that his hopes would be that the September festival would be smaller in capacity due to the concerns still surrounding Covid-19. The hypothetical event would take place at Worthy-Farm and it is unclear whether Holy Cow Events, though it is registered with Worthy-Farm, would have a role in the event.

It should be noted that when questioned about whether Glastonbury Festival would go bankrupt after two consecutive years cancelled the famous event, Emily Eavis denied the possibility of such a thing ever happening. It is still unclear whether Holy Cow Events will have anything to do with Glastonbury Festival, however, it is associated under Glastonbury’s famous family business name, Eavis.
