Nas, Disclosure, Hot Natured, David Rodigan, Sub Focus, Aluna George, Eats Everything,Rudimental and The Congos are just a few of the top names to be confirmed for the reborn Dance Village at Glastonbury 2013. Now known as Silver Hayes, the new area will include one giant supertent, Sonic, for dance-oriented headliners, the Wow Stage for underground breakers and best of all the Gully - a brand new installation combining an open air stage and a pulsating street of sound systems and stalls featuring the best new DJs, MCs and live music.

Says Festival Organiser Emily Eavis: "I've always thought that the closest parallel with Glastonbury is Notting Hill Carnival, and the buzz around this rebirth is exactly what we were looking for, both musically and visually. There's going to be a lot of incredible music from all around the world."

Silver Hayes takes its name from one of the oldest meadows on Worthy Farm, soon to be filled with the best new musical discoveries of 2013. Nas and other bill toppers will play in the new Sonic supertent (7,000 capacity), while a full line up for the other stages and sound systems will be revealed in April.

Meanwhile the last word goes to Michael Eavis: "Malcolm (Haynes, Dance Village Co-Ordinator) turned up with an after hours rave truck in the 1980s and he's been going hard at it ever since. Now he's conjured up a new vision for one of the most beautiful areas of the farm, which will be brilliant."

I'm just pleased we've had an announcement, might appease some of the frustration on the forum!

Sounds like an awesome set up though. I love the fact Glastonbury doesn't rest and continues to evolve and develop various areas of the festival.

This forward thinking it's what makes it so special.

Considering dance east & west wont be there and this new 'Sonic' tent will replace them, they'll need somewhere for daytime acts to appear, and leftfield has it's own set of acts for the daytime and evening for that matter.

    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL. 
    • We've reasonably predicted/wanted a bill of Blink, Avril, Good Charlotte for a while 😅    I'm surprised that Good Charlotte's UK shows in November seem to be doing well atm... obviously if they sell out those venues then they should be subheadliners right? (if they play download that is). They'd only look a strong sub if it was before Blink though I rekn.

    • Well Jason Isbell is on blistering form for this run of European gigs, wonderful night in Bristol 
    • I am also interested in this. I was looking for past years, and it looks like it has a limited capacity.  I would love to see Ela Minus, but I guess I won't be able to make it in time, unfortunately.
