Silver Hayes Stage Glastonbury. Glastonbury Festival is more than one festival. There are hundreds of little festivals happening all over Worthy Farm. From The Healing Fields to Block 9, people gravitate to their favourite area of Glasto and spend most of their time there.

Stages and Areas in The Silver Hayes Area
Room
I loved the idea of this place. “Room” served as a wellness space, featuring sound baths, breathwork, guided meditation, yoga & other activities. As a person who meditates every day this was right up my street.
Assembly
The assembly is taking over from the Wow stage. This is the area’s first dedicated indoor space. Indoor spaces at Glastonbury are handy in all types of weather. If it’s raining they provide a dry place and if it is too hot they provide much-needed shade.
The Levels Stage
The Levels is a new open-air nightclub inspired by the crossover of architecture, lighting and experimental musical art forms.
Lonely Hearts Club
This stage made its debut at Glastonbury 2022. The structure is of an Art Deco cinema which stands 40ft high. It was originally seen at Bristol’s Love Saves The Day festival. The Lonely Hearts Club stage replaced The Blues Stage in 2022. In 2023 they are making some slight changes.
Firmly Rooted Soundsystem
Another stage that made its debut in 2o22 was Firmly Rooted. It’s the stage to celebrate Sound System Culture so if that is your jam, head down here.
The Information Stage
In addition, the area also introduced a new experimental art pavilion to be unveiled, supported by Arts Council England and the introduction of ‘The Information’ stage for the first time at Glastonbury – a powerful platform for an urgent debate, putting forward-thinking conversation side-by-side with contemporary electronic music programming.
Hayes Pavillion
Silver Hayes introduced a new artistic Pavilion for Glastonbury 2023 with its inaugural project, entitled ‘6°’. The first ever Hayes Pavilion will harness the interconnected power of mushroom roots – the extraordinary underground network known as mycelium – and investigate the potential adoption of this biomaterial in the creative industries.
New for 2025:
This year, they have announced a new area called the Sunflower Soundsystem. This venue will be a surround sound dome.
Most people head towards Shangri-La, Block 9 and Arcadia after midnight and forget about Silver Hayes. If you want to dance the night away and avoid the crowds then this is a good place to do it.
See you on the farm.
