Tickets for the 2022 return of Glastonbury Festival remain sold out after purchases made in 2020 rolled over to 2021, and then again to 2022, following two pandemic-imposed cancellations. While the event has not welcomed its estimated 200,000 yearly visitors since 2019, organizers in 2021 mounted Live At Worthy Farm, a five-hour livestream filmed across the grounds at various Glastonbury landmarks featuring performances by festival veterans like Coldplay, Damon Albarn, HAIM, IDLES, Jorja Smith, Kano, Michael Kiwanuka, Wolf Alice, and DJ Honey Dijon.
