The wonderfully weird shit you need to do at Glastonbury
Cover yourself in the muddy madness
4 All new Arcadia
Now in its second year just south of The Park, Arcadia's infamous giant spider seems to have found its new home since being moved out of the late night fields, due to its increasing popularity. Those behind the area are keeping their cards close to their chest this year, but we do know that there is an all-new Arcadia Spectacular show, which involves baby spiders invading the site as well as the stage's usual pulsating sound system.
Add into this mix a line-up that includes Adam Beyer, Groove Armada, Booka Shade, Annie Mac, Maceo Plex, The Bug, Redlight and a Swamp 81 takeover, it looks set to be one of the best years yet.
5 Wango Riley’s Travelling Stage
There is never a shortage of the weird and wonderful going on in The Unfairground, whether it's The Happy Mondays cohort and all round Madchester legend Bez dancing all hours in Bez's Acid House, or a giant mutant baby overseeing proceedings, it isn't an area for the faint hearted.
This year iconic free festival fixture Wango Rileys's Travelling Stage returns to Glastonbury to mark 30 years since the Battle of the Beanfield, which is a fundamental part of the festival's history. With performances from bands that were part of the Stone Henge free festival, as well as massive wall murals from Berlin based art group Herakut – who will paint the last piece during the stage's finale – it is all to highlight the massive wider significance that the Battle of the Beanfield had on festivals, society and the law.
