Part 7: is there anywhere to party late night?
As the sun sets over Worthy Farm, the night owls among the Glastonbury Music Festival crowd begin to spread their wings. The after-midnight party options at Glastonbury are legendary, creating an atmosphere that buzzes with energy and music well into the early hours.
The south-east corner of the festival, dubbed "Naughty Corner" by seasoned festival-goers, houses a collection of late-night venues. Shangri-La, the festival's after-dark heartland, is a mind-bending maze of music, art, and performance where the party rarely slows. Every year it reinvents itself with a new theme, making each visit a unique experience.
The Unfairground is another hotspot for after-midnight merriment. Here, you'll find a surreal blend of art installations, sideshows, and pumping dance music that keeps the party going until dawn.
For those who prefer techno and electronic beats, Block9 is the place to be. This dystopian cityscape offers a line-up of top DJs and immersive environments that transport you to another world.
Lastly, there’s the infamous Green Fields' stone circle. Here, impromptu drum circles, fire dancers, and communal sing-alongs provide a more chilled-out vibe.
Remember, Glastonbury is a marathon, not a sprint. Pace yourself, stay hydrated, and embrace the nocturnal magic of Glastonbury.
