“Good evening, Variety Bazaar!” Twitter takes giant dump on new name for Glastonbury

Just when you thought 2017 was shaping up to be marginally better than 2016, Michael Eavis reveals the new name for the Glastonbury festival – the Variety Bazaar.

The internet response was universal. If only the Brexit vote had been so clearcut, eh?

The new name will coincide with the festival’s move away from its traditional home in Worthy Farm, Somerset, in 2019. In fact, it’s full name is a bit longer than “Variety Bazaar”. And even more irritating.
