Brian May Rules Out Queen at Glastonbury’s 2027 Return Over Badger Cull Dispute

May also says the band's next live appearance with Adam Lambert remains undecided.

Overview

  • In a new interview, May said he would not play Glastonbury unless the organisers' politics change.
  • He alleged the festival's leaders 'like killing badgers,' citing his long-running opposition to culls.
  • Founder Michael Eavis has supported badger culling to tackle bovine TB and previously called May a 'danger to farming.'
  • Glastonbury takes a fallow year in 2026 and is slated to return in 2027, with Queen never having performed at Worthy Farm.
  • May said he does not know when Queen will be back on stage after touring with Adam Lambert through early 2024.
