There are still plenty of nooks and crannies at the sprawling Somerset music event that don’t get the airtime they deserve. These include “alternative” fields such as the infamous Arcadia, and form the subject of this film from Julien Temple, filmed at the 2011 festival. These havens of individualism play host to all manner of characters, show-stopping performers and outlandish installations. All of which are captured in a mesmerising 75-minute film that showcases a side of the festival that, for many revellers, is what Glastonbury is all about.

About this programme

Julien Temple explores the alternative side of the festival away from the spotlight of the main stages, where the event reconnects with its radical and countercultural origins. Filmed in 2011, the documentary offers an insight into why people flock to experience the underground music and performance art of Glastonbury's lesser-trodden fields.
