Three new areas will be appearing at Glastonbury Festival 2019 as preparations continue for the event in June.

Organiser Emily Eavis spilled the beans today (Monday, January 7) that a new area will be making an appearance at the festival near to The Park field.

This is in addition to new attractions at the Arcadia field and the Block9 field, which Emily described as "incredible" and "mind-blowing" in an interview on BBC 6 Music.

"Whole new area"

She said: "The Park has got something new appearing next to it where the tipis previously were.

"There is going to be a whole new area there. There is lots of things happening."

It appears Emily Eavis is referring to where the "Tipi Village" was located in 2017, to the left of The Park as you look up the hill, above Pennard Hill Ground campsite.

She also talked about two other new areas that will be appear at the 2019 festival.

"Incredible" Arcadia

In November, the news broke that the famous Arcadia spider would not be returning to the festival and that a "totally different adventure" would take its place.

Today, Emily Eavis added: "Arcadia are working on a new area, a completely new design.

"They have come up with some incredible structures that they are trying to build into a new show."

The founders of Arcadia Spectacular have previously revealed that a new attraction is currently being built and will be bringing even more mayhem to Pilton in June.

Pip Rush and Bert Cole told Somerset Live that preparations are well underway for next year.

They said: “We’re beginning a totally different adventure at Glastonbury that will evolve over the coming years.

"We’re currently neck deep in scrap yards and as excited as everyone else about what we might find next.

"Watch this space!”

"Mind-blowing" Block9

Emily Eavis also talked about a new and bigger Block9 area, after she confirmed last year that the field would be "spreading out a bit".

She said: "Block9 are expanding down in the South East corner, so they have come up with an incredible installation which is pretty mind-blowing.

"Ive only seen it as an image on a page, but when it is in the field it will be incredible."

In December, it was confirmed by Block9 co-founders Gideön Berger and Stephen Gallagher that the area would be getting a lot bigger.

They said: “Essentially, we’re doubling in size, we’ve taken over another field so Block9 is expanding.

"We have a very, very exciting new project that we’ve been working on for the last four years and it’s going to happen in June this year.”
