Shangri-La line-ups and areas at Glastonbury Festival unveiled

eFestivals can reveal the line-up for the Shangri La area at this summer's Glastonbury Festival.

Glastonbury Festival goers who journey across the old railway track, past the Green Fields and find themselves transported into the fantastical world of 24 hour hedonism that is Shangri-la.

Last year's Shangri-La was a dystopian vision of a citadel ruled by a corrupt regime in its dying days, which was dedicated to enforcing its vision of perfect utopia, but all the while trapped in an relentless and futile battle with the rebels of the alleyways. At the end of the 2009 Festival, the rebels overthrew the regime, and the city was opened up for pleasure-givers from all corners of the known universe to flood in and carve out their own version of Utopia. Those with resources have taken over vast areas in flashy style, while others create tiny palaces from pallets and waste, but with resources dangerously short everyone's attention has shifted from pleasure to survival.

Much of Shangri-La's other worldly wonderment is down to its retro-futuristic look, inspired by fantasy dystopias such as Bladerunner, District 9 and Star Wars. A key part of this look is costume. This is no fancy dress competition; this is about creating living theatre, a world to get lost in. Shangri-La want to encourage the audience to become part of this, so before festival goers arrive they're asked to, nip back to their tent and slip into something less comfortable before they get their rave on in Shangri-La. Think of yourself as an extra on the set of 'Blade Runner' that's fallen into a vat of glitter.

The HUB

The HUB is the central gathering place of the citadel. By day the Hub is filled with interactive urban games, live bands from Continental Drifts Global Local scheme and visual spectacles. By night it turns into a seriously good rave, embellished with mind-blowing visuals strewn across the imposing walls. This year, for the first time at Glastonbury, Radio One will be broadcasting the Essential Mix live from the HUB on Friday night.

The Alleys

Also known as the Badlands, it's impossible to tell where you might end up if you enter this seedy maze of debauchery. There's 18 different tiny nano venues in this strip, it's a city inside of a city. Dimly lit with shards of light piercing the roof by day, fat drops of rain splattering through the broken neon glare. Dark and steamy, chaotic and seductive, it is home to a myriad of bizarre and disparate nano-venues, each one luring you in to its unique den of weird and wonderful delights. Here's a selection of Nano's to wet your appetite.

The Bodyshop

Once a shining example of what an advanced genetic and cybernetics upgrade clinic could be, The Bodyshop has, like the rest of the Badlands seen more prosperous times in the past. However look past the dried blood and brains spattered on the walls, ignore that our medical license expired over 32 years ago and trust in the fact that our technology still (seems) to work. So be ready to book yourself in for an appointment and let our expert team of augmented Doctor's and Nurse's pick the upgrade you need for this summer's extravaganza!

Be it a new set of limbs to replace your own tired originals, a total brain overhaul after suffering mental collapse or merely a memory upload so you can try and remember some of the weekend while you still can. New for this season is The Bodyshop's very own 'Ultra Liver', which can be tuned by our experts to help you recover from the beverage of your choice, be it Whiskey, Beer or of course Cider! All of these operations and more will be accompanied by the very best in musical delights ranging from the cutting edge to the traditional, anything to take your mind off the pain as we break out the bone saws and flesh shears!

Raveoke

Partying in fields until the sun comes up, whatever next? Take a trip back to the days of Acid House at the Raveoke karaoke bar. Finally your chance to feel the ultimate rush on stage with you as the star of the show. Pick your dance classic wait for your number to come up and croon to your hearts content. Capturing all the elements of authentic 'back in the day' raving drop in on any night of the festival to catch special guests and members of the public alike performing the biggest dance hits!

The Synthetic Gardens of Cybalon

Biomechanical Scarecrows welcome the visitor into an allotment crammed full of hybrid crops and sentient wild flowers. This is a sculpture garden like no other, adorned with waste and found-objects, teeming with half-life and tended by genetically modified farmers. Inside the processing plant tent, sound and visual fragment is force-fed to an eager herd of revelers. Expect independent short films, spoken word, an evolving art exhibition and experimental music. DJs and live sets are on beat-drop rotation, providing a harvest of electronica, downbeat, hip-hop and breakcore that you're unlikely to find anywhere else in the festival.

Temple of the Blessed Bono

U2 can be saved. Make the pilgrimage to Shangri-la to prostrate yourself at the Alter of the Temple of the Blessed Bono. Cleanse your soul with the holy waters from Ireland's shores. Proclaim your devotion via the means of Divine Imitation. Soothe your mind, body and ears with joyful hims (and hers). Truly believe your own eyes and relax in the safety of your own delusions. They are coming. They will come again. U2 can be saved.

Left Luggage

In the dark alleys of Shangri-la a dim light of former glory flickers. Since the fall of society one bastion of civilization blindly stumbles onwards; Teleport Corp's- Lost Luggage Department. A lowly subdivision of the once booming global teleportation travel industry now floundering amid the chaos of the alleys. All contact with head office was lost long ago and the fear and desperation of the crew are palpable. After some high profile accidents and partial disintegrations of holiday makers the stream of global travelers has all but dried up. Yet strangely the lost luggage keeps coming, and with the depravation closing in on all sides the rumors abound of shady luggage fences and tourists "accidentally" turned inside out for black market organ dealers. Can you really escape the slums of the alleys with a golden ticket to teleport or will it be a one way trip to the darkside?

Fish and Tits

Shangri-La's hottest nightspot is back – but now it's 4 times bigger and twice as sexy! More cocktails, more mermaids, more fish and now with an underwater garden – join us again for the ultimate in fishy fun, all night cabaret and the most exquisitely unusual dancing opportunities you'll have all festival. Let your grip on reality slip in a sub-aquatic palace of exotica. The fully interactive, futuristic drum circle combines the uniting powers of percussion, rhythm and dance with cutting edge music technology.

The Drum Machine

The Drum Machine sets out to educate and inspire the musical minds of festivalgoers across the globe. Beginning at Glastonbury Festival 2009 in the wastelands of Shangri-La's Discotopian future, 'The Machine' has set off on a journey into the minds of many and now seeks to move onto its next phase. A new and improved Drum Machine returns this year with more musical features, improved technology and exciting interactive visuals which will make for a mind blowing audio-visual festival experience. Driven by rock-solid digital music technology and fueled by the users creativity, 'The Machine' creates a completely personal soundtrack the festival. This interactive audio experiment will in equal parts intrigue, amaze and involve its audience, providing a unique insight into the core building blocks of modern music technology and culture.

Slumbarave

Hotel Slumbarave metropolis offers clientele of the deranged dystopian disco dwelling a welcome break. We aim to bring guests the most tempting and opulent escape from the surrounding chaos. The Hotels' historical background is a more dubious account of sleaze fuelled transactions and double crossing, resulting in an establishment with a seedier underbelly than its cracked façade would like to give away. The nucleus of the Hotel is the Hex, a six-sided labyrinth that leads guests to the other side. It is the foyer of transformation, revealing the hotels darker sanctum where you may be tempted to indulge in entropic treatments or risqué room services. To pass to the other side requires a processing which offers great rewards, but will you want to check out?

Snakepit

A late night haunt in an Opium Den style, which conceals secret satin dens and shadowy corners of wrongness. This viper pit is for all those with shadows on their souls who ache to watch soul stealing cabaret, dance to dirty fat tunes and enjoy flaming stage shows of the exotic and bizarre.

Apple Smugglaz Intergalactic Shipping

The Apple Smugglaz Cider Pub started in 2008 at Shangri-La. We now ship megaquantities of cider intergalactically. Made from apples sourced on Earth and processed in transit, our juice is ferment in Zero Gravity, which results in a finer cider. Open from Wednesdays to Sunday.

Arts Council

With help from the Arts Council, this year Shangri-la has commissioned four unique art installations providing an unforgettable, interactive and multi-disciplinary experience for festival goers. Woven into the chaotic environment, the pieces range from video art to interactive architecture, each one contributing to the overall atmosphere of Shangri-la. We also have support annually for Global Local acts.

CutUp Collective

CutUP Collective will be returning for a second year, creating continuously evolving street art throughout Shangri-la. Keep an eye out for their striking signature drilled into, abstracted hoardings which act as viewing vents by day and illuminated light box images by night.

The Dark Room

The Dark Room, an acclaimed motion graphics studio, will be video mapping the HUB walls when the sun goes down, transforming the space into a neon urban jungle. The graphics are created to scale so that revelers appear to populate the animated scenes while vivid projections play with the structure of the HUB walls.

Studio Weave

Art/Architecture Collaborative, Studio Weave, have created an interactive structure that embodies the hectic, despotic narrative or Shangri-la. The structure consists of three trapezoid platforms of diminishing size and is made from blackened timber patched together imperfectly evoking the glowing embers of the fallen 'Administration' buildings. At night, bright lights inside break through the cracks in the construction creating a latent pulsing energy. The structure is robust enough to withstand the festival crowds, sitting, climbing and dancing upon it. Interactive art at its best.

Squid Soup

Squidsoup are inviting citizens of Shangri-la to get involved in an interactive video game. Prepare to take part in extreme pinball with live virtual alien creatures! Squidsoup's work combines sound, physical space and visual systems to produce immersive and emotive headspaces. They aim to allow participants to take active control of their experience. They explore the modes and effects of interactivity, looking to make digital experiences where meaningful and creative interaction can occur.

The Shacks

For the first time, Shangri-La have opened up the festival to include the creativity of you, the public in the creation of the area. They put a commission put to all the arts networks to create 12 micro venues called Shacks. Some of the weird yet wonderful entries received include The Obsoletorium, Temple of B-Movie Cult, The Obsessive Reclaimer,and the Shangri-La Tube Stop (not the monorail stop!).

There are still more interactive installations to be announced.

These line-ups are yet to be officially announced by the Festival organisers.

U2 were due to headline Glastonbury Festival alongside Muse, and Stevie Wonder on a bill which also includes Dizzee Rascal, Vampire Weekend, Snoop Dogg, Willie Nelson, Orbital, Shakira, Pet Shop Boys, Scissor Sisters, Seasick Steve, Jackson Browne, Faithless, Jack Johnson, Ray Davies, Slash, The Flaming Lips, Hot Chip, Florence And The Machine, and many, many more.

The SOLD OUT event will mark the 40th anniversary of the Music and Arts Festival at Worthy Farm, Somerset, where Michael Eavis first opened his gates for business in September 1970. Glastonbury Festival runs for five full days from Wednesday 23rd until Sunday 27th June 2010 across over a 1,000 acres of beautiful countryside.

eFestivals' Glastonbury World Cup 2010 in support of WaterAid

Once 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.
