Glastonbury 2023 have today shared details on the new ‘Woodsies’ area. Check out which artists are set to perform there below.Details on the new space were shared earlier today (May 12), and it is described by organisers as being a sprawling new area which combines the Woodsies Main Stage — formerly known as the John Peel Stage — with the wooded area next to it.Artists set to appear in the new area include Rina Sawayama, Måneskin, Warpaint, Christine & The Queens.

Numerous events will also be set up in the surrounding areas, providing an alternative place to visit when the main stages close.“A stone’s throw from Silver Hayes and San Remo, just north of the river and next to the Pyramid field, the Woodsies area combines Woodsies Main Stage with bars, cafes, décor, campfire, installations, and The Woods’ aerial walkways in the trees,” reads an update shared on Instagram. “[It is] a new, verdant alternative to hang out throughout the day and after the main stages close.”Named after the Worthy Farm fields which it occupies, the new space also seeks to “maintain the magic” previously seen in the natural space.

Over 1000 new trees have been planted in the area to achieve this, and there are plans to recreate a 300-year-old oak tree, to remind guests of their “connection with nature” and “the wild spirit” of the location.The full list of artists set to appear at the newly-renamed stage was announced on the festival’s Instagram page today.
