Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis has confirmed that the festival's next fallow year will come in 2026.
The music event typically takes a break every five years in order to give the land at Worthy Farm time to rest, such is the intensity of the footfall of 200,000-plus people each summer.
The last break came earlier than planned due to coronavirus, with both the 2020 and 2021 festivals being cancelled - and now the next one has been confirmed for 2026, meaning that after the 2025 festival, revellers will need to wait 24 months for the next.
"The festival before a fallow year is always a fun one to plan, because you almost have to fit two years into one," Eavis told The Sun.
"We're already in talks with some acts for it. It's exciting!"
Reflecting on this year's festival, which wrapped up on Sunday, she added: "I really would like to say thank you to everyone who's made this year so special.
"It's got to be the best one yet. Every single one of our vast, incredible crew is crucial to making this event work. And, of course, it simply wouldn't exist without the participation of the kind, brilliant, respectful festival-goers.
"I think people here show a better way to live, and that they do take a little bit of that back to the outside world with them. It honestly restores your faith in humanity."
Next year's festival is expected to take place from June 25 to June 30, 2025.
