Glastonbury Festival Of Contemporary Performing Arts - Areas - Arcadia

THE 2008 HIGHLIGHT RETURNS WITH ITS OWN FIELD

Last year, within the walls of the Trash City, Glastonbury saw the launch of a new machine.

Built from blast remnants and recovered materials, the machine was said to be capable of producing a heightened state of euphoria through sonic and audiovisual stimuli.

This, according to the scientists behind the experiment, could be the true purpose of these machines, which caused such havoc after the industrial revolution.

Some spectators claim to have experienced sensations similar to that of a neo religious or spiritual nature, with many still dancing in child like ecstasy in the morning and quite unable to resume their posts for several days.

For this reason the test site has been relocated to the countryside just south of the Trash City. Lo, the new Arcadia area is born.

With visual enhancements from the Invisible Circus, and a musical heartbeat from some of the country's finest audio geniuses, the machine will take off once again, taking the dance revolution to a new level of experience.

Enter the fields of Arcadia as the sun sets and witness the unveiling with your own eyes, see new colours and visions cast across the night sky and into the morning sun.

Arcadia will also play host to Strummerville, which was founded after the death of The Clash lead singer Joe Strummer. They'll be in their usual spot, near the memorial Strummer Stone behind the Arcadia Stage.
