If Michael Eavis gave you a budget to organise a new area of the festival...

[mr_bizarre]

THERES A SIDE DOOR TO THIS NIRVANA?

I think I need a sit down.

[Josie's Cat]

A zoo. with animals you could cuddle, and some animals you could just look at and go "whoooaaaa look at THAT!"

A shark tunnel with rays and beautiful fish and sharks so you could walk under it.

But it would have to be properly protected from dweebs trying to tap the glass or startle the creatures.

Think he is looking for yer AC/DC's of this world. Plenty other fests to see them IMO.

I think a brothel would go down well (to pardon the pun) as long as it was in keeping with the spirit of the festival.

£30 for a w*nk but CND get a tenner, full sex for £50 but 20 notes goes to Greenpeace, that kind of thing

[Wooderson]

Out of interest, which festivals are AC/DC playing this year?

There are plenty of other festivals to see all types of music at - that's not really an argument not to have them at Glasto. Furthermore, the original question was if ME gave you a budget to organise a nw area .... and that's my answer.

I'd love to see The Answer at Glasto actually. Preachin' is a brilliant song and I'm looking forward to hearing the new album.

I'm just happy that Oasis and Radiohead aren't playing. Cheered me right up that has.

[sifi]

The Answer? Wow. I hope you don't get your wish. They are brutal.

Don't be silly, there is no more space to expand.

So

Mine would be a cool underground 26 hour a day rave, with little padded tunnels leading to different themed rooms

[jollynolly]

A folky tolky area. Done out like a folk club, free mike sessions in the day and up and coming and established folksters later.

Aron jumpers, fake beards, and big wizard walking sticks optional.

Rocking chairs and swinging porch seats at the back.

Real ale, lots of fiddly diddly, but not too much hey nonny nonny!

The line up would be, Christy Moore, Billy Bragg, Noah and the Whale, Laura Marling, Frank Turner, Jim Moray, Bellowhead, The Demon Barbers, Damien Dempsey plus many many more

[Aphex's twin]

A motown funk area!

[Glazieyes]

Exactly that.

[Red_Eye_Jedi]

A Hunter S Thompson Style..

Including..

"We Can't Stop Here It's Bat Country" Horror House Type Thing

And basically.. everything and anything to do with good ol' Hunter S Thompson

[lieutenant_pigeon]

firstly i would bring back the leftfield stage and next to it i would have a ska/reggae stage with maybe a beach theme with sand and deckchairs.

[Al the CAT]

[venuss]

I'd build and inimate dungeon

it would be fully equipped with floggers, swings and a wet area

no piercing and no fire play

there would be a full range of fetish wear - it would be compulsory to dress correctly

for those who want to take part in role there will be a separate area to act out as you wish

so, i wonder if ME would give me my £20k?

[strudders]

I would get a licence that covered 24 hours, was valid of 365 days a year and subsidise the the bars and food.

Seriously

Also I would have a Classic/Prog rock Stage that would be used to allow all those dinosaur out there the opportunity to play once more and make me very very happy........

[darrenbha]

I'd set up a walk through horror maze with live actors allowed to interact with guests. Imagine that on acid

[APPLES77]

Monkey rollerderby on ice surrounding a cantina band on stage - Swish

[parsonjack]

an apres-ski area....with loads of man made snow to trudge around in...and an oktoberfest style tent with some oopah bands and a cheesy german rock band playing eurotrash pop while blondes in that cute traditional dress serve frothing beers....

[podge52]

I'd have a Cannabis field/ Smokers field. There'd be plants growing freely( providing its sunny) and dotted around the field i'd have chill tents playin chill out choons with bongs freely availible. There would be munchy tents selling good munchy grub and a small stage with various artists playin all manor of muzac to suit all potheads needs. This would be a 24hr field with camping area for those of us who can never get enough. Wouldn't have any beer tents in the field just Milkshakes n other munchie type drinks.

[remote]

I'd have a beach area. Loads of sand, deck chairs, an ice cream van there. Some water to go paddling in (just incase people haven't got fed up of wading through Glastonbury). A merry-go-round there somewhere too. Would be good to relax on when it's boiling hot.

[disasterplan44]

paintball arena with live dance/techno/dnb sets playin!!

i myself would go kamikaze while high contrast were playin

Edited February 12, 2009 by disasterplan44

[Crouchie]

My area would be a big cemetry with a stage in the middle that look like a tombstone and tribute bands of people that are dead could play here! we could have the doors, nirvana, beatles, jeff buckley, queen etc etc.
