Organisers of the legendary Glastonbury Festival have revealed that the theme of 2013’s Shangri La area will be the 'One Man’s Heaven is Another Man’s Hell’, the first in their planned Afterlife series.
The after hours festival area, which started in 2008 as a free-for-all, will follow-up their 2011 ‘End of the World/Virus’ theme (which counted 2012 as the end of the world) with a new Afterlife series, starting with 'One Man’s Heaven is Another Man’s Hell’.
Breaking the news via a post on the Shangri LA blog, bosses revealed: “Shangri-la 2011 turned out to be the best year yet, the full realisation of the dystopic, future-city, Bladerunner style, vision we'd been evolving over 3 years. It was incredibly moving to see all the work coming together in such magnificent fashion. The hub and alleys set a new benchmark for festivals and we've been glad to see the influence of the nano-venue spreading through festival culture. Boomtown, bless em, did a fantastic homage, and we're happy to see the kids taking it on and developing it.
“Shangri-la is about setting the bar high, about pushing it as far as we can go creatively. We're there to help make sure that Glasto has always got the freshest content in the festival world. We're starting fresh for 2013 with a new series of shows, introducing a new set, new venues and and a new theme which we will develop over the next 4 years.”
Glastonbury 2013 looks like it will be a sensational return for the festival - and it’s even sold out in record time. Will you be going? Leave us a comment in the section below.
