According its founder Michael Eavis, the festival - which includes much-loved areas such as Shangri La, Arcadia and Bloc9 - will now boast a '50s and '60s style drive-in with very up-to-date bluetooth technology. Speaking at the NME Awards this week, the organiser revealed: “We’ve got a massive film screen and 100 ‘60s American and Cuban cars,". He added: “We’ve put them all in straight lines, so you can sit in the cars, watch the films and the sound comes into the cars by a little Bluetooth thingy on the wing mirror. "Julien Temple is doing all the film choices. This is the biggest thing of the year.” Meanwhile, Emily Eavis has confirmed that they are already "in talks" with the first headliner for 2020, telling NME: "We're talking to our first headliner for the 50th anniversary." So far, Radiohead are the only headliner confirmed for Glastonbury 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Although it sounds like it might be fun, I'd prefer the investment went into completely revamping Silver Hayes. Desperately in need of it, in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperately in need of it, in my opinion do you not think this has also happened, I remember seeing something about the new company that have taken over an area and changing that. I know it won't be the Silver Hayes area (it really needs changing) even if just to take attention away from the already too busy shangri la Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess any use of dead space is positive and as you say, some kind of alternative late-night entertainment is definitely required to divert the crowds away from Shangri-La Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
