Brian May insists Queen won't perform at Glastonbury 2027 due to badger politics
Brian May refuses to support Glastonbury due to founder Michael Eavis’s stance on badger culling, which May calls a devastating wildlife crime.
- Next year Brian May, Queen guitarist and animal activist, says Queen will not play Glastonbury Festival due to the organisers' politics.
- May explained the refusal stems from Michael Eavis's support for badger culling, which he calls a tragedy and campaigns against through Save Me.
- The Pyramid Stage has never hosted Queen, and Glastonbury Festival attracts more than 200,000 attendees annually, highlighting the festival's massive scale.
- Glastonbury is taking a planned fallow year in 2026 and is scheduled to return next year, with bookmakers already taking bets on potential headliners like Sam Fender and Harry Styles.
- The feud has long involved Michael Eavis repeatedly criticising Brian May, branding him a `danger to farming` in disputes over the badger cull, which May calls the greatest crime against wildlife killing nearly half a million native animals.
