Overview
- In a new interview, May reaffirmed he will not agree to a Glastonbury slot unless the festival’s politics change.
- He said Queen have not been asked to play because organisers already know his position on the badger cull.
- Glastonbury is in a fallow year for 2026 and is slated to return in 2027, prompting renewed headliner speculation without Queen in the frame.
- Queen with Adam Lambert have never performed on the Pyramid Stage despite years of global touring.
- May’s stance reflects his long-running activism, including founding the Save Me Trust and resigning as an RSPCA vice president, while Michael Eavis has previously called him a “danger to farming.”
