Glastonbury Festival promoter faces court in January

LONDON--Glastonbury festival promoter Michael Eavis reportedly must appear in an English court in January on a charge of breach of license. The 2000 festival was held in Somerset, England, from June 23-25.

The breach of license would consist of allowing too many people on the festival site and of noise violations, reported nme.com. The recommendation to prosecute Eavis stemmed from a Mendip District Council committee meeting in October.

A spokesperson for the council told nme.com this week, "A decision whether to proceed could not be made until consideration was given to the evidence, to see whether the Council could make a sound case. Intimation has now been made and a provisional date has been made for the case to begin at Wansdyke Magistrates Court in January."

On the festival's official website, organizers have raised doubts on whether the festival will continue.
