Glastonbury organisers are working on plans for
gigs on the site this summer, despite cancelling the main festival.
They are applying for a licence for a two-night concert and another to open the farm as a campsite, but Emily Eavis said the plans were "not definite".

"It's so good to dream up plans and hope that some of these things could potentially happen later this year," she wrote on Instagram.
The festival itself was called off in January for the second year in a row.
The Eavis family normally welcome more than 200,000 people to their farm in Pilton, Somerset, every June.
Any concerts this summer would take place in September, and the scale would be closer to the Pilton Party, an annual "thank you" gig for around 8,000 local residents and workers.
"Of course, we've no idea yet whether we'll able to do that, but we wanted to get the application in to be in with a chance," Eavis wrote, adding that it was "unlikely we'll have any news for a couple of months".
She said she was also submitting an application for "a family-friendly (ie not for partying!) campsite at the farm for this summer".
She added: "Again, it's not definite that it'll go ahead but needed to set the early wheels in motion now." Camping wouldn't be available at the same time as the concerts.
Scientists have made fabrics from polythene in a move they say could reduce plastic pollution and make the fashion industry more sustainable.
Polythene is a ubiquitous plastic, found in everything from plastic bags to food packaging.
The new textiles have potential uses in sports wear, and even high-end fashion, according to US researchers.
The plastic "cloth" is more environmentally-friendly than natural fibres, and can be recycled, they say.

Dr Svetlana Boriskina, from the department of engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, US, said plastic bags that nobody wants can be turned into high-performance fabrics with a low environmental footprint.
"There's no reason why the simple plastic bag cannot be made into fibre and used as a high-end garment," she told BBC News.
"You can go literally from trash to a high-performance garment that provides comfort and can be recycled multiple times back into a new garment."
The fabric is made from fibres of polythene woven on industrial looms into textiles that are designed to be comfortable to wear.
Crucially, the fibres are designed to allow water to escape, rather than repelling water like conventional polythene.

The researchers say the fabric is less damaging to the environment than the likes of wool, cotton, linen, silk, nylon and polyester, and can be washed in cold water, further reducing the environmental footprint.
The plastic can be dyed in different colours before being woven into fabric. Because it is made up of only one type of plastic - polythene - it can be recycled into new garments time and time again.
The fabric has potential for use in sportswear, such as trainers, vests and leggings, they say.
In the long-term, it could also have applications as a high-performance space suit, engineered to be protect against cosmic radiation.
Commenting on the study, published in Nature Sustainability, Dr Mark Sumner of the University of Leeds said it remained to be seen if such a fabric might catch on.
He said the typical mechanical properties of polythene - such as strength and melting temperature - tend to limit its use in textiles, as does its very low moisture absorption.
"The fundamental challenge I see with this development, as we have seen with many other 'new fibre' developments, is how well the fibre aligns with comfort, feel and drape requirements of the consumer," he said.
"If the fabric feels waxy, or stiff and lacks comfort then consumers won't buy the product, and therefore, the fibre has limited use for clothing."
The fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world. Textile manufacturing consumes huge amounts of water and generates millions of tonnes of waste, as well as 5-10% of global greenhouse gas emissions annually.
Washing and drying clothes often consumes even more energy and water than the production phase.
Removing too many sea cucumbers, warns Dr Wanguemert, has repercussions for all levels of the ecosystem. Algae are the first to die, which removes the source of food for small fish species, in turn creating scarcity for larger ones.
The best option for Liberia, she recommends, is a moratorium: "Stop fishing for two years while stocks are studied."
The Liberian government is aware of the risk, according to Alexander Dunbar, director for policy, planning and investment at the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Authority (NaFAA).
"If not managed properly, a lot of our fisheries and the livelihoods that depend on them could collapse."
Mr Dunbar says NaFAA is taking a precautionary approach when it comes to licencing.

It has partnered with an academic research team collecting data to inform the development of a sustainable management plan for the new sea cucumber fishery: Liberia's first ever species-specific plan.
