Shangri_La

If you’ve never been to Glastonbury before, you’ll be amazed at the over-the-top late night entertainment on offer after the main stages have quietened down – and this year there are three new night-time areas.

When the sun goes down, find your way to the old railway track and head south. Here you’ll find the “badlands” of Shangri-La, one of our favourite places last year and where this year festival-goers have been involved as part of a competition to design part of the area themselves.

Emily Eavis says the late-night venues were so busy last year they’ve been expanded to give people more choice.

So new for 2010:

The Unfair Ground: Where you can be served drinks by maimed 70s Aeroflot trolley dollies in a crashed and derelict plane wreck or hang out at Bez and Sam Haggerty’s Acid House tent.

The Common: A new music performance area with late night bars and intimate side shows.

Block 9: Billed as a brand new late night party zone that’s “not for the faint hearted”.

If you go make sure you send us a photo or two … just in case we’re too faint-hearted to venture in!

Don't forget Kidz Field - great NCT charity helping with the kids - pop up to the tent if you need help with your little ones when at the festival. All charity working with some support from their friends.

The highlight of my year for the last 12 years. At 48 I shouldn't be so excited :-) Be there Tuesday aft. One day I would like to hep with the build up and work there, to see it from the inside. Ciao Nigel
