"Glastonbury’s iconic John Peel stage has a new name.
The festival – set to return to Worthy Farm this June – has renamed their famous John Peel stage following historic abuse allegations against the DJ.
Peel – who died in 2004 and had the tent named in his honour the following year – attended the Worthy Farm festival numerous times, including the very first Glastonbury 34 years ago, which was then named The Pilton Festival.
However, festival goers have been calling for the stage named after the DJ to be changed after accusations of him having sex with teenagers."
John Ravenscroft married a 16 year old (he was 10 years her senior) to get a green card and be a DJ in America. Then was quoted as saying "Yeah, I knew there was a lot of 13 year old girls looking to suck DJs dicks, and I wasn't going to ask for ID".
They knew for years. I'm surprised it's taken this long.
