Glastonbury to feature new stage this year

Glastonbury organisers have revealed that a new stage will grace the festival this year.

The new arena will be called 'The Park', and will house a number of impromptu sets from a number of artists who are not necessarily playing at the festival.

"A lot of people don't want to be billed as doing a full set, but if they're there they want to play," organiser Emily Eavis told The Guardian.

Acts who have confirmed that they will play on the new stage include Jamie T and The Aliens. The area will be surrounded by a number of pianos to encourage spontaneous performances.

"I really wanted it to be a late-night destination that wasn't too full on, where people can go and relax," Eavis added.
