Opening at 2pm on the Wednesday of the festival, just six hours after gates, The Pavement is one of the first stages on the entire site to offer live entertainment, with sets on the main music stages not kicking off until late morning or early afternoon on Friday.
Sitting on something of a crossroads between Leftfield, West Holts, William’s Green and the Circus Big Top, The Pavement represents the Western edge of the Theatre & Circus fields.
A good performer here will catch people as they filter past on their way to West Holts, holding their attention long enough that they might abandon other plans and stay a while. Crowdwork, then, is an important aspect of any performance on The Pavement.
It’s also surrounded on all sides by a host of food options and Glastonbury regular The Tea Stop – a 1966 Routemaster bus converted into a 60’s style diner. So get some lunch, grab a cuppa, and check out these acts to see across the weekend.
Acts to consider:
Missy Impossible
Dani Fortune describes Miss Impossible as “my family circle show character. She is bright, confident and endearing. Her goal is to be a positive strong woman and an inspiration to young girls, letting them know that they can do anything and that nothing is Impossible
