West Country (W) Glastonbury Festival

Glastonbury Festival organiser Michael Eavis takes a salary of just £60,000-a-year - despite the event turning over £32 million, he has revealed.

Eavis, 79, says he is not interested in the money and donates £2million to charity each year after paying all the wages and event costs. The father-of-five says his take-home pay is so modest that he earns less than his top dairy herdsman at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset.

Speaking to the Western Daily Press Mr Eavis said he last bought a new car 14 years ago and does not even holiday abroad, instead opting to stay at his holiday cottage in Cornwall.

Mr Eavis, who has overseen 32 festivals in the last 44 years, says he does not like to carry over any profit into the next year - and gives any excess cash away.

The festival employs around 150 people full time throughout the year and 25,000 during the event.

So far Lionel Richie is the only name to be confirmed for the 2015 festival, which sold out in less than half an hour.

Eavis said that he felt his team had done well when it came to picking headliners but there were still two acts he would like to see at the event.

Lionel Richie has been confirmed to play at Glastonbury next summer. He is the first artist confirmed for the 2015 music event. It will be his debut UK festival appearance and he will play in the Sunday teatime slot on the Pyramid Stage, according to the festival's website.

Tickets for next year's festival sold out in record time.

Tens of thousands of music fans were left disappointed after the £225 tickets were snapped up in just 26 minutes. The 150,000 tickets were bought up even before the festival line-up has been announced.

Those who missed out on Glastonbury Festival tickets today are being told there will be another chance next year.

Tickets for next summer's Glastonbury Festival took just 27 minutes to sell out this morning.

Tickets went on sale at 9am but it was announced on Twitter less than half an hour later that they had sold out. Prices were raised to £220 this year - £10 more than last year.

The line up has yet to be revealed.

A dog left at Glastonbury Festival, and which Dolly Parton had offered to re-home, has been reunited with its owner. The animal shelter in Shepton Mallet was reluctant to hand Dolly the dog back to her owners because of welfare concerns, but said they were forced to legally.

In a statement, they added that they would be supervising the owner's care. Lyn Southway from Happy Landings Animal Shelter says they needed to make sure the people were really Dolly's owners.

ITV Westcountry has been told that the dog that Dolly Parton offered to re-home after it was abandoned at Glastonbury was very pleased to see it's owners when they were reunited last night.

The owners who are Spanish and live in London came forward to claim the dog Dolly who was found abandoned in a tent at the festival. The rescue centre say they were legally obliged to hand the dog back to it's owner after the proper checks were carried out.
