As shared on their social platforms, the area at Worthy Farm is dedicated to “holding a mirror up to the masses. Creating conversations, expanding minds & opening hearts. Motivating people in politics & play”.
Last year, creative director Kaye Dunnings and creative producer and director Robin Collings spoke to NME about bringing Shangri-La back to Glastonbury Festival following a two-year hiatus.
“We had to just bring everyone back together,” Dunnings said of 2022’s ‘We The People’ theme, which was originally planned for 2020, adding: “that’s how we feel like change will be made, by reconnecting again.”
Other recently announced stages at this year’s Glastonbury Festival include West Holts, where Kelis, Loyle Carner and Rudimental will deliver headline sets, and the Silver Hayes area line-up.
These were followed by the Field Of Avalon area announcement, which will host Will Young, The Damned, Melanie C, Jake Shears, Laura Mvula and more in 2023.
Benefits, Cavetown, Big Joanie and more were then announced for Glastonbury’s Left Field line-up.
In March this year, Arctic Monkeys and Guns N’ Roses were named as the final two headliners at this year’s festival, joining the previously announced Elton John.
Other confirmed acts include Lil Nas X, Lana Del Rey, Wizkid, Lizzo, Lewis Capaldi, The War On Drugs, Chvrches, Christine And The Queens, Thundercat, Carly Rae Jepsen and Manic Street Preachers.
