With listeners’ tastes becoming increasingly local, the amount of royalties generated by EU artists on Spotify has tripled from 2017-2023. As the ‘glocalization’ trend continues, Luminate found that almost 80% of the top 10 streams in Germany, France, and Italy came from local artists last year.

In a recent interview, Worthy Farm’s Emily Eavis confirmed that Glastonbury is considering taking a ‘fallow year’ in 2026 - the first planned year off since 2018. “We are due a fallow year- [it’s] important because it gives the land a rest, and it gives the cows a chance to stay out for longer and reclaim their land.”
