Arribar will be headed by Best Parties Ever managing director Tim Stevens and will work with Avalon Bars and Events to create two destination bars that will ‘echo the surreal sense of escapism of the Glastonbury event'.

The Kasbah, located next to the Orange mobile phone charging site will open from 10am until 2am throughout the five days. Glastonbury opens from 23-27 June. The second bar, Chameleon, will open from 11am until 3am each day.

Separately, Irish rock legends and headline act after lead singer Bono needed emergency back surgery. No news yet on who the replacement will be.
