Glastonbury Festival 2012 Axed Due To Portaloo Toilet Costs

The Glastonbury festival is to take a year off in 2012 due to the huge demand for portable toilets, it's been revealed.

Organisers have been advised that the cost of lavatories is expected to rise, along with demand for police, as Britain hosts the Olympics in London.

The festival had intended to take its usual fallow year in 2011, but organisers have decided to adjust the date due to the sporting spectacle.

"I can see it getting very expensive," founder Michael Eavis told The Guardian. "So we looked at the timing and thought that a year off seemed sensible."

Meanwhile, tickets for the 2011 Glastonbury festival have already sold out.

Organisers have yet to reveal any of the scheduled performers, although Eavis has confirmed that all three headliners have already been booked.
