Hi everyone
Today, the Glastonbury 2023 line up was released. And low-and-behold, the John Peel stage has been renamed to the Woodsie stage.
From The Guardian:
The shift was not a response to a minor 2022 petition calling for a name change owing to Peel having married a 15-year-old girl when he was 25 (then legal in Texas, where they were wed). “I haven’t got involved in that because it’s not our area,” said Eavis.
Yeh, right Emily.
This just shows you can take on the biggest festival in the world and win. I hope the rest of the music industry will take note and become accountable for their actions.
Thanks for signing and sharing. Power to the people.
Jack :)
