A new immersive area has been announced for Glastonbury 2023 that promises to be a new party space for the night time, the festival has said. The Greenpeace Field has confirmed it has big plans for this year's festival as well as a strong line-up for its 22-metre 'rave tree' stage.
The festival is waving goodbye to BEAM, a deadwood sculpture by the artist Wolfgang Buttress, first created in 2019. The same artist is working on a new multisensory experience which will be debuted at the festival this year.
Speaking on the new area, a festival spokesperson said: "New for 2023 is The Rhizosphere, a perception-shifting destination located behind the Sun Stage to experience life amongst its roots in technicolour wonder. Dedicated to celebrating the importance of soil to humankind, it’s a versatile space created by artists Poppy Flint and Benji Bailes (Underfoot) which hosts multi-sensory exhibits, workshops and myco-feasts by day before transforming into a party space as night falls.
