(Image Source: https://metro.co.uk) The John Peel stage is no more with Glastonbury's iconic tent now going by the name of Woodsies. The festival, set to return to Worthy Farm this June, has renamed their famous John Peel stage after historic abuse allegations against the DJ. The tent, commonly known to be home to up-and-coming artists, was named after Peel to recognize his contribution to the music industry over the years. A petition was created by fans demanding the name be changed, and the Peel family was on board with the decision. Emily Eavis, the organizer, stated that the change was not related to the allegations and that the stages should be named after the fields they stand in.

Glastonbury's iconic John Peel stage has been re-named following historic abuse allegations against the DJ.
The festival, scheduled for its return to Worthy Farm this June, has changed the name of the tent that was typically used for up-and-coming artists, and which was named after Peel to recognize his long-standing contribution to the music industry.
In response to the accusations, a petition was created by angry fans demanding for its name to be altered.
Organisers Emily Eavis confirmed the switch, however, assured that this decision was not linked to the allegations or the petition, but rather, should be associated with the fields they stand in, such as the West Holts and Silver Hayes.
She mentioned that they have had a good relationship with the Peel family, and everyone is on board with the change.
