14 photos of Arrivals, Glastonbury’s first-ever South Asian dedicated stage

The stage takes Glastonbury-goers through a vortex of visuals – a portal into an “alien jungle planet, immersed by an audiovisual world coded in solar punk, carnivorous plants, cyborg beasts and space pirates”. The design team included Shankho Chaudhuri, Esha Sikander and Shirin Naveed, and features the work of illustrator Osheen Siva, playing on nostalgia and futurism concurrently.

Artists who took to the stage over the weekend included Anish Kumar, Gracie T, Nabihah Iqbal, Bobby Friction, Manara, Baalti, Nikki Nair, yourboykiran, and plenty more, each performing through bespoke hand-built soundsystems filling each corner of the room, playing a mix of fierce club bangers, rap and traditional sounds to an always rapturous crowd.
