*****GlastonBARRY 2021 UPDATE***** 

Monday 12th April 2021

Thank you for your patience and understanding during these very challenging times. We have been truly overwhelmed by the messages of support we have received to date from so many of you.

We understand the frustration at not knowing whether the festival will be going ahead this year, but as you will appreciate, we have been awaiting information from both the Welsh Government and local authority, to see where we stand for the summer. We now have a clearer picture of the Welsh Government’s position on the pandemic, and are able to make an informed decision. Unfortunately, we feel we have no option but to postpone GlastonBARRY until July 2022.

The Welsh Government’s guidance at the moment is still pretty uncertain, there are so many variable factors that it is almost impossible to predict where we might be by July. The truth is that is highly unlikely that we will see any large scale events take place in Wales this summer, but even in the very best case scenario, if the festival was able to take place at a reduced capacity, it is almost certain that there would be a lot of restrictions in place. A GlastonBARRY with these restrictions imposed just wouldn't be the event you’ve all come to expect. Obviously safety is paramount and we do not want to risk anyone’s health in the slightest, but also we want to put on an event that we can be proud of, and is actually viable to run, which unfortunately is not achievable this summer.

We completely understand the disappointment that not running our event in 2021 will bring to everyone who has enjoyed the events over the years as well as the loss of focus and revenue to a number of local businesses and the town as a whole. We would like to thank our amazing sponsors, acts, contractors and staff for their support, the Vale of Glamorgan Council for their assistance and as a small team ourselves, we truly appreciate the patience, understanding and encouragement shown by all of our loyal customers, friends and family.

In the uncertain circumstances we find ourselves in, we have to be optimistic and look to the future. The festival will now roll over to the final week of July 2022, GlastonBARRY Juniors will take place on Friday 29^th July 2022, with GlastonBARRY festival taking place on Saturday 30^th and Sunday 31^st July 2022.

We will be doing everything we can to ensure that GlastonBARRY 2022 is the biggest and best festival to date!  We are working with artists to ensure we deliver a line-up truly worthy of the 2 year wait.  These announcements will be made via our Social Media accounts and our website in the coming months. We will hope to release more tickets for the festival as restrictions are lifted and details of 2022 are confirmed.

All tickets will automatically roll over to the new dates in 2022. Any changes to address can be done by contacting us via our website at www.glastonbarry.com 

We are absolutely heartbroken that we won’t be able to welcome you all to Romilly Park again this summer, but are optimistic that this awful pandemic is beginning to come to an end and hope to see you all in the sunshine in July 2022 for the biggest and best GlastonBARRY party to date. Please sign up to our mailing list at www.glastonbarry.com for further announcements.

Thank you once again for your continued support. 

Stay safe.
