Festival organisers have announced a huge surprise collaboration coming to Glastonbury this year. The festival's late-night party area Block9 will be joining forces with London's Notting Hill Carnival, bringing together two of the biggest events on the world's cultural calendar from June 22-26 this year.
Block9 said they were proud to host such a partnership at the festival. "United by their history, common values and goals, the two come together to bring the cream of west London's carnival culture to the heart of rural Somerset for the first time," they said.
The collaboration will see both organisations presenting carnival processions across the festival site with dancers, Moko Jumbies and masqueraders. The procession will feature a 100% electric carnival float with a sound system booming Caribbean sounds from Notting Hill's finest DJs and selectors.
