Emily Eavis

Emily Eavis is a Director of Glastonbury Festival Events Ltd, as the festival’s April 1, 2026 anti-slavery statement records. The statement is signed by Michael and Emily Eavis and is the official current-role evidence used here. The festival’s March 2015 response to the Kanye West petition also calls Emily a co-organiser.

The current source gives a useful operating distinction often lost in festival biographies. Glastonbury Festival Events Ltd stages Glastonbury Festival, the Glastonbury Extravaganza and Pilton Party; Glastonbury Festivals Ltd manages the site and infrastructure enabling the festival to be staged. A directorship in the staging company is not, on its own, evidence of ownership percentages in either company or title to the underlying farm. The profile preserves those separate responsibilities rather than converting a founder or organiser label into a legal control claim.

The same statement describes a workforce that expands markedly around the annual festival cycle, combining permanent staff, volunteers, third-party personnel and directly engaged workers. It records labour-provider reviews and direct employment practices. Those operational details explain the role’s industry relevance: festival production depends on a temporary expansion of labour and supplier responsibility, not only the headline programme. Emily’s earlier public response about a headline booking documents the organiser role in programming debate without establishing that she alone made every booking. The official sources support this account of organisation and workforce scope, not a complete equity register or personal financial estimate.
