Acoustic Stage

The Acoustic Stage is a festival within a festival. For the last thirty years or so, people have been trooping up the hill to the haven of the Acoustic field.  The crowds visit the Acoustic Stage to either avoid the rain and, maybe even, the sun – in the sanctuary of super-duper circus tent – and, to hear acoustic, song-based music.  Mostly it’s blues, folk, contemporary or country music, but…it’s not always played on acoustic instruments.

The Acoustic Stage has had the pleasure to welcome Ray Davies, Christy Moore, Joan Baez, Jackson Browne, The Waterboys, Paul Carrack, Nick Lowe, Robert Plant, The Moody Blues featuring… Michael Eavis, John Prine, Art Garfunkel, Kate & Anna McGarrigle, Keane and The Bootleg Beatles, and amongst many others.
