Glastonbury Festival has just announced the opening details of their Silver Hayes stages, alongside a long list of acts to be giving light to these podiums. As it is the festival area’s 10th anniversary, this year’s edition is set to be a memorable one.
This year they have introduced a “new evolution” for the Hayes area. Introducing three new stages and a completely new concept within the dynamic of the shows. A new forward thinking impression has been placed toward the making of these stages in order to create a next level experience for the dance lovers of the festival. The different characters of each stage are to touch base with each corner of the dance community. The line up expects the appearance of acts such as Sub Focus, Skream, CamelPhat, Mella Dee, SBTRKT and many more.
The first stage is called “The Levels” and is described by Glastonbury as their “new open-air nightclub inspired by the crossover of architecture, lighting and experimental musical art forms”. This particular space is designed to showcase the state-of-the-art sound within electronic music today in a mystical environment which plays between the connection of light and sound.
“The Lonely Hearts Club” is their next stage as a reimagining of the Lonely Hearts Club. Whether it is designed for people to find a significant intimate other, we don’t know. But it is designed by the international artist Mr Jago in collaboration with the Bristol based artist Melissa Wickham.
Their other stage is another parallel universe within the creative Silver Hayes space. Named “The Wow” and designed for the underground clubbers. Expect the likes of quality house, techno and electronic dance music. If it was granted with such a name it must the a wow-factor experience for the party goers.
Finally the platform that could not be forgotten is the roots culture stage. Named “The Firmly Rooted Soundsystem” we cannot imagine anything other than the beloved bounce of a soundsystem and roots music blasting from bassy rigs. Glastonbury explain its purpose “With respect to the heritage and importance of soundsystem culture to so much of the music we know today, the area is programmed to showcase the depth of music that has been inspired by these roots…”.
Silver Hayes is the perfect combination of an enthralling and electrifying experience to celebrate dance culture. Not only does it evolve around music but every single artistic aspect which contributes to the clubbing experience. They also provide a “The Information” point to bring people into conversation together to discuss and unlimited array of topics considered important to those who take part.
