Glastonbury Festival 2024 is a little under two weeks away as revellers start their final countdown to this year’s event at Worthy Farm. With that in mind, now seems an ideal time more than ever to start double checking you have all the equipment for your tent still available, your travelling itinerary all sorted and the most important thing – remember your tickets to enter the site. But like previous years, the festival organisers have gone to publish a list of items that are acceptable to bring to the grounds and a list of things to leave at home – for fear of confiscation or even worse, being escorted off the festival grounds. No problem, we hear you saying – no knives, no professional film or audio recording equipment. So long as I have my vapes on hand and my gazebo to gather my group under on the campsite, I’ll be set. Well, we have news regarding some items you may think should be fine to bring to a festival but have made the list of prohibited and banned items at this year’s event, headlined by Dua Lipa, SZA and Coldplay. So to avoid embarrassment when the bag searches take place entering Worthy Farm this year, we’ve taken a look at what to bring, what not to bring and in some cases what you can bring but under mitigating circumstances. According to the Glastonbury Festival website, they’ve advised revellers not to overpack, given that a lot of stuff you’ll need to take home with you as the festival looks to reduce the amount of waste that occurs at music festivals. This also means, sorry vape nation – disposable vapes have also been banned from this year’s Glastonbury Festival, owing to the pollution they cause and can be hazardous at waste centres. Another surprising item being prohibited from Glastonbury Festival is gazebos, and for good reason. “They take up valuable tent space in campsites,” the festival writes. “We’d also rather you didn’t put tape around your tent enclosures, please. It makes it harder for other people to get to their tents.” Any items that are found during searches into the festival grounds will be confiscated and won’t be returned – an especially important warning for those drone enthusiasts. We’ve had the do not, but what about the do? Glastonbury Festival advises that revellers bring the following items with them this year. Festival gates to Worthy Farm and this year’s Glastonbury Festival open at 8am on Wednesday June 26 2024, however, there will be no amplified entertainment until the following day. Are you surprised by some of the items banned from Glastonbury Festival this year or are you happy that gazebos will no longer take prime real estate on the campsite?
