The official Glastonbury 2025 festival map has landed, sparking buzz across the r/glastonbury_festival community. Here’s what you need to know about the site changes for the upcoming festival:
-
Oxylers Shrinks to Grow Other Stage: The Oxylers area sees a noticeable reduction, expanding room around the Other Stage. Speculation connects this to last year’s disruptions when Avril Lavigne canceled, causing crowd flow headaches.
-
Silver Hayes Shuffle: The Firmly Rooted Soundsystem moved across the road, and The Levels shifted slightly. These changes open up new space and hint at tweaks to toilet placements — though attendees remain skeptical about solving long-standing restroom bottlenecks.
-
Wider Path to Glastonbury-on-Sea: The previously tight walkway between the park and Glastonbury-on-Sea got widened, addressing past safety complaints around pinch points.
-
Bushy Ground Camping Changes: A campsite section in Bushy Ground has been reassigned from attendees to crew use, forcing some to locate new spots.
-
Shangri-La Food Stand Cuts: Some food stalls in Shangri-La appear to have been removed, a point of discussion for festivalgoers planning sustenance routes.
-
"Naughty Corner" and Other Areas Largely Stable: Despite rumors, this zone remains mostly unchanged. Several other small stage and campsite adjustments reflect ongoing site fine-tuning rather than dramatic overhaul.
Taken together, the map updates reflect an evolution focused on crowd flow, capacity optimization, and safety enhancements. However, perennial challenges like toilet accessibility in some areas still loom large in community discussions.
The map post includes higher-res versions and links for deep dives into the updated layout.
This comes amid Glastonbury’s broader efforts to refresh the festival footprint annually — from 2023’s stage renamings and art installations to 2024’s introduction of new stages like Dragonfly and upgrades in Silver Hayes and The Reach.
Stay tuned as the festival inches closer to kickoff with these site improvements promising a smoother experience but still leaving some old headaches intact. For the full 2025 layout details, check the linked official map and community commentary.
