Which stage at Glastonbury is dedicated to acoustic and folk music?

The stage at Glastonbury dedicated to acoustic and folk music is the Acoustic Stage.

Launched in 1984, the Acoustic Stage is one of the festival’s longest-running dedicated venues. It focuses on acoustic, song-based performances, with programming that often includes folk, roots, country, blues and singer-songwriter acts.

The stage is usually housed in a large circus-style tent, giving it a more intimate atmosphere than Glastonbury’s major outdoor venues. Artists who have performed there include John Prine, Joan Baez, Paul Brady, Nick Lowe, Suzanne Vega and Fairport Convention.

A common mix-up is the Avalon Stage, which also presents roots, folk and singer-songwriter music. However, Avalon is a separate venue, while the Acoustic Stage is the festival’s specifically named home for acoustic, song-based music. Its first appearance in 1984 also makes it an older Glastonbury institution than many of the festival’s modern dance and late-night areas.
