Glastonbury 2024 – a first for the festival that celebrates South Asian culture. Check out our video on the Arrivals area above.The Arrivals stage is based in the Shangri-La area of the Worthy Farm site and has been designed by a group of South Asian cultural organisations, including Going South, Dialled In and Daytimers.

It looks to celebrate the artists from the area who are having an impact on today’s music scene – as well as pay respects to the generations of artists that came before.“We’re at a watershed moment, where all the artistry and talent that really is already out there in the music industry is finally getting the recognition it deserves and that we as a community have championed internally for a while,” explained stage organiser Shankho Chaudhuri told NME.“This is a horizon where all this brilliant artistry and creative talent across our community is being recognised.

The Arrivals Stage is one of hopefully many flagship moments that will sort of come to define the talent that is breaking through and that has been there for years and has been there for generations.”“A major part of this has been community building,” added curator Shirin Naveed.
