Glastonbury: KNEECAP and The Scratch among acts announced for Shangri-La area

Following previous area and stage announcements for Field of Avalon and the Acoustic Stage, Glastonbury has unveiled the line-up for its Shangri-La area – with KNEECAP and The Scratch among the highlights. The festival returns to Worthy Farm from June 26-30.

According to the Glastonbury website, Shangri-La is a "radical area" of the festival, "with a deep history of celebrating underrepresented art and culture."

"By inviting new collaborators each year, the furthest corner of the Festival continues to evolve in original and new ways," the official description continues. "By holding a mirror up to the masses, creating conversations, encouraging activism and stimulating all of the senses at the same time, Shangri-La is a creative playground that aims to expand minds and open hearts, motivating people in politics and play."

This year, the area is launching a brand new venue, Arrivals – Glastonbury's first dedicated South Asian space.

KNEECAP and The Scratch are both lined up to play the Peace stage – alongside the likes of Lambrini Girls and Bob Vylan.
