Glastonbury Festival has announced that it will run entirely on renewable energy for its upcoming 2023 edition.

It’s been confirmed that all of the festival’s production areas will either run on electricity from lower impact, fossil fuel-free sources, or through solar PV and battery hybrid systems.

Additionally, a temporary wind turbine will also be used to supply a selection of market stalls with energy, while all generators will be powered by sustainable and renewable palm oil-free HVO fuel, made from waste cooking oil.

The news comes following the announcement from the festival’s Arcadia stage, which stated that it will run entirely on recycled energy for the first time this year. Commenting on social media, Glastonbury said: “We’re very pleased to report that all of Glastonbury 2023’s power needs will be met by renewable energy and renewable fuels, eliminating the need to rely on fossil fuels for power across the festival.”

Acadia announced its decision to run on recycled energy, as opposed to non-renewable resources like diesel, last month, with the 5000 square-meter festival area now relying on recycled biofuels, such as refined chip fat and cooking oil.

In other music news, Lil Uzi Vert’s new album is on the way.
