Glastonbury Festival is banning single-use plastic bottles this year for the first time in a bid to cut waste.
Plastic drinking bottles will not be sold to revellers or supplied backstage, in dressing rooms or to production and catering staff.
Organisers are encouraging festival-goers to use reusable bottles and refill them at taps around the site.
Acknowledging that more than one million plastic bottles were sold at the music event in 2017, they said a complete ban is “the only way forward".
Free drinking water will be available from all bars across the site and the number of kiosks run by charity WaterAid will be tripled, staff said.
Festival organiser Emily Eavis said: "It's paramount for our planet that we all reduce our plastic consumption and I'm thrilled that, together, we'll be able to prevent over a million single-use plastic bottles from being used at this year's festival.
In a statement on Wednesday, she added: "I really hope that everyone - from ticket-holder to headliner - will leave Worthy Farm this year knowing that even small, everyday changes can make a real difference. It's now or never.”
Free drinking water will be available from all bars across the site and the number of kiosks run by charity WaterAid will be tripled.
Canned soft drinks and canned spring water will still be available to buy and festival attendees will still be able to bring plastic bottles on to the site.
The festival, which takes place in Somerset, runs from June 26 to 30 this summer.
