new look 'tropical' Dance Village unveiled for Glastonbury Festivalfeaturing Wow! Stage, Cubehenge, BBC Introducing and moreThursday 29th April 2010 This year at this summer's 40th Anniversary Glastonbury Festival the Dance Village will be bigger, bassier and altogether more bootylicious for 2010, with seven music arenas including two brand new stages alongside the relocated BBC Introducing stage.
Joining them are the newly announced Joy Orbison, Boy George, Beardyman, Craig Charles presenting his The Fantasy Funk Band, High Contrast, Snap!, Tayo, The Orb, Zero 7 (DJ Set), Will Saul, Kissy Sell Out, A Skillz, Norman Jay, Ashley Beedle, Annie Nightingale, Dave Seaman, Nero, The Secret Cinema Band, Swaparama, Jalapeno Sound System, Twilight Players, The Correspondents, and many more. The WOW! Stage replaces the Dance Lounge this year and brings a colourful collision of '70s Club Tropicana nostalgia, offering a tropical paradise setting and a line-up of disco, house, future-garage, dubstep and rising stars from across the board. DJs will play into the sunshine from a giant pineapple DJ booth during daylight hours, slipping into a tropicalia-laden tent for evening entertainment. The WOW! is also the setting for half of the Village's Thursday night opening party which is the first to start on site and promises some super-special guests. The Pussy Parlure the Burlesque Cabaret Spiegeltent is back, with Annie Nightingale overseeing the second half of the opening festivities there on the Thursday night. Annie celebrates her 40th year in the BBC, a poetic tie-in at Glasto's 40th birthday. Then the ever-playful Parlure does what it does best with its host of fringe fancies and left-field treats throughout the weekend. Cubehenge is also new for 2010, an outdoor stage bringing house, downbeat dancing and funk. The space is created amidst a barrage of monumental cubes, which are lit from within, shifting and changing colour iridescently by night. It's a modern day megalithic temple for revellers to worship the gods of dance. DJs such as Will Saul, Norman Jay, Zero 7 (DJ Set), and Ashley Beedle will perform to an audience surrounded by a construction of monumental cubes. "In the Dance Village we've looked at what contemporary UK dance music means in 2010," says the Dance Village's Malcolm Haynes. "With an all-out urban programme in East Dance on Saturday and WOW! looking to the future of dance music with acts such as Joy Orbison, DaM FunK, Jamie Jones and Kode9, we'll be catering for the scene aficionados as well as the chart followers." And of course the East Dance and West Dance also return with their customary downpour of the biggest dance acts in the game. Plus, a Magic Bubbles' Stage, cafe and gallery (with some secret VIP guests) the Boudoir, digital graffiti wall, epic artworks and a bunch of other beautiful bits 'n' bobs.

Glastonbury Festival runs for five full days from Wednesday 23rd until Sunday 27th June 2010 across over a 1,000 acres of beautiful countryside. Festival tickets were priced at £185 and have all SOLD OUT. eFestivals' Glastonbury World Cup 2010 in support of WaterAidOnce again this summer players, mainly members of the eFestivals forums, are coming together to be part of the England vs The Rest Of The World football match, which will be raising funds for WaterAid on Thursday 24th June at the Festival.Festival organiser Michael Eavis has challenged the event to raise £6000 for WaterAid and thus provide enough money to provide the cost of building three water wells. Water is something that we all take for granted but other people aren't so lucky. The event begins at 1pm at the Pyramid Stage field with prematch entertainment from Hobo Jones & the Junkyard Dogs who will be doing a 40 minute set with the World Cup match will start after that. WaterAid will again be on hand with collection buckets at the game, and people who can't make it to the event can make an online donation at http://www.justgiving.com/glastoworldcup2010. published: 10:47 (GMT)
