Glastonbury To Expand Popular Dance Music Areas For 2025 Festival

Glastonbury is expanding its dance music areas for 2025.

After the world-famous British festival unveiled its 2025 site map on Saturday, a report from Mixmag highlights that changes to its layout, stage placements, and campgrounds will revamp or expand several of Glastonbury’s electronic music party hubs, including Silver Hayes, Shangri-La, Arcadia, and The Glade. 

The site map announcement comes as Glastonbury continues to roll out lineups for each of the musical areas across its roughly 1,200-acre festival site at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset, England.

Shangri-La—set to host performances from Pa Salieu, KNEECAP, EXAMPLE, Katy B, Skepta’s Más Tiempo, Chloe Robinson, Sicaria, A Little Sound, Goldie, and more this year—will expand with more public space and four new stages. 

Hosting names like Amelie Lens, CamelPhat, Fatboy Slim, Vintage Culture, Seth Troxler, NOTION, PAWSA, and many more, Silver Hayes, also home to four stages, will change locations, allowing for more public space and expanded stage areas for all but its indoor Assembly stage.

The Glade, featuring acts like Carl Cox & Eric Powell’s Mobile Disco, Shygirl, Skepta B2B Mochakk, Joy Orbison, and Fish56Octagon; and Arcadia, welcoming Job Jobse B2b Palms Trax, Sonny Fodera, Four Tet, Michael Bibi B2B Solomun, and more, will both accommodate larger crowds this year. The Prodigy will also play in front of an expanded crowd area at the Other stage.

In the 35 years since dance music was first introduced at Glastonbury, it has grown into one of the festival’s most popular musical offerings. Drawing record crowds of more than 210,000 people in 2024, Glastonbury was criticised last year for overcrowding instances that led to the temporary closure of electronic music hotspots, including Silver Hayes and Block9, among others.

Glastonbury will return to Somerset, England, for its 55th edition this June 25-29.
