Glastonbury urge festival-goers to avoid peeing on the ground
Glastonbury have asked for attendees to avoid urinating on the land, which could result in "pollution of the water table, which can affect local wildlife and fish."
The festival organisers have also revealed that they could face closure if there's too much pollution from urinating on the ground, "The Environment Agency have the power to close the site if there is too much pollution. Please only pee in the hundreds of toilets and urinals on site."

Glastonbury has also banned plastic water bottles for this year's event in a move to reduce their plastic waste.
This year's event will see Stormzy, The Killers, and The Cure headline the festival.
Last week Emily and Michael Eavis announced a new book to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Glastonbury. It includes contributions from Adele, Jay-Z, Dolly Parton, Noel Gallagher, and more.
