Leftfield Stage Returns To Glastonbury
Billy Bragg is to curate the "pop and politics" tent again...
The Leftfield Stage is set to return to Glastonbury this summer, for the first time since 2008. The tent, which mixes 'pop and politics' was missing from the festival last year, but will be curated this June by none other than Billy Bragg.
"Glastonbury is the original activist festival," Bragg told the festival's official website. "It has always had that political edge since it’s rebirth in the 1980s as a gathering for dissidents and dancers. Leftfield’s mixture of red and green politics aims to reflect the way activism plays an important part in the festival as a whole."
There's no talk of artists as yet, but the organisers are promising a new site and a new tent. Says Bragg: ""It will be a place where you can take part in political debates with leading activists and political figures and then hear some great music from people who believe in using their talent to inspire audiences to change the world."
