Arrivals

Glastonbury Festival’s first dedicated South Asian space, Arrivals was designed in collaboration with Shangri-La, Dialled In, Daytimers and Going South and is conceptualised by an entirely South Asian team.

Visitors to Arrivals  were transported through a portal to an alien jungle planet, immersed by an audio visual world coded in solar punk, carnivorous plants, cyborg beasts and space pirates. Bridging across nostalgia to futurism, a sensory feast of vivid lights and colours, the space remixes the worlds of pulp sci-fi classics within a newly redefined South Asian aesthetic. 

Artists playing include the revered DJ Ritu, an icon of the 90s Asian Underground scene, as well as emerging artists such as Anish Kumar, Gracie T and mainstays like Manara and Nabihah Iqbal.

The stage was designed by Shankho Chaudhuri, Esha Sikander and Shirin Naveed and featured the work of iIllustrator Osheen Siva.
