Glastonbury Festival 2019: Massive lineup announced for Arcadia including Andy C and Carl Cox

Arcadia is going to take on a very different look at Glastonbury Festival this year.

In previous years the stage has been an enormous fire-breathing spider, but this year it's going to be a huge decommissioned crane which festival founder Michael Eavis has purchased from Avonmouth Docks.

While the spider has been a huge fan favourite over the years, it's likely that Arcadia's latest creation, called Pangea, will be just as popular.

And YOU can have a say in what form it takes in 2020.

According to Glastonbury's website: "Taking inspiration from the prehistoric supercontinent where every land on earth was one and the future was yet to be written, this is the dawn of a new era.

"A giant structure sits at Pangea’s heart, repurposed after decades of service at Avonmouth docks and as old as the festival itself. A core of light, sound and energy pulsates from its epicentre, surrounded by primeval fire and with the Glastonbury spirit flooding through its DNA.

"Looking back across the years, thousands of people from all walks of life contributed to the Spider’s evolution from a tripod stage to the Metamorphosis show. Everyday skills were turned on their head, mad ideas became reality and an extraordinary spectrum of collaborators created something greater than the sum of its parts.

"As a fresh evolutionary journey begins toward a new show in the sky, Arcadia are inviting anyone with a bonkers idea and an outside the box way of realising it to come on this adventure."

Who's playing at Arcadia this year?

Arcadia always plays host to some of the best drum & bass acts and this year is no different, with Andy C , Dimension and Sub Focus announced, as well as a back-to-back between Mefjus , Insideinfo and Kasra .

There's also plenty to enjoy for house and techno fans including Carl Cox , who is widely seen as one of the finest DJs of all time, local boy Eats Everything , Daniel Avery and the ever-popular Four Tet .

Craig Charles will no doubt draw a big crowd with his vast selection of funk and soul while The Black Madonna , who has been named Mixmag's DJ of The Year in the past, will also be a highlight.
