As the weeks tick down until we are once again invited into the magical world that is Glastonbury Festival, each area is slowly putting out the full line-up that will grace it. First we had West Holts, dropping on 14th March, followed by Silver Hayes and the Field Of Avalon last week!

Silver Hayes revealed its 2023 programme, announcing its next evolution while marking its 10th anniversary with the area introducing three new stage creations. The Levels, a new open air nightclub inspired by the crossover of architecture, lighting and experimental musical art-forms, alongside the creative reimagining of The Lonely Hearts Club, The Firmly Rooted Soundsystem and the return of cult favourite, The Wow stage. In addition, the area will also introduce a new experimental art pavilion to be unveiled, supported by Arts Council England and the introduction of The Information stage for the first time at Glastonbury – a powerful platform for urgent debate, putting forward-thinking conversation side-by-side with contemporary electronic music programming. Check out the full line-up here.
This announcement was swiftly followed by the huge reveal of the Field Of Avalon. Once again the heart of Worthy Farm, the Field of Avalon will come alive again with the spirit of Albion fayre. From its origins in folk, we host roots music through to soul, punk, pop, blues & ska.
Like an island in the sea of Glastonbury, the Field of Avalon maintains its unbroken connection to the earthy Eden. Once part of the Greenfields it remains as one of the original areas still visited by a diverse lineage of legendary musicians, artists and fellow pilgrims. Festival travellers come to rest their weary legs and recharge with a pint of ale, delicious food and some of the best and diverse musical programs on site.
And this year, the stage will be filled with wonderful acts from Cara Dillon, and Glastonbury mainstays Beans On Toast to Australian ARIA Award-winning artist Fanny Lumsden.

This tiny stage in a tucked-away, but firm favourite, area of the enormous Glastonbury Festival is always one to check out and an area that you can’t revisit, as it isn’t televised. So be sure to check it out on your magical, mystical ramble around Worthy Farm this June!
