Glastonbury Festival organiser Emily Eavis has told The Guardian about the plans for the Park area, which is new this year.

Sited on a field in the adjoining Park Farm that her ancestors farmed before they moved to Worthy Farm, Emily said "I really wanted it to be a late-night destination that wasn't too full-on, where people can go and relax".

"A lot of people don't want to be billed as doing a full set, but if they're there they want to play," she added. There will also be a handful of pianos scattered around the field for allcomers to congregate around.

Emily revealed that acts including The Aliens, Jamie T, Spiritualized Acoustic Mainlines, Lou Rhodes, Kate Nash, and Chas & Dave, would all be playing. Emily exclusively told eFestivals Saturday night will be a huge African themed jam going by the name Africa Express, using specially booked musicians as well as any she could round up that were playing on the other stages over the festival.

Other acts expected to play in this stage include Damian Marley, Iration Steppas, Toumani Diabate & Symmetric Orchestra - all as part of African Express we think, as well as Fionn Regan, Gruff Rhys, Mark Lanegan (with Isobel Campbell?), and The Earlies.
