Joe Rush provides more details on Glastonbury's new pier installation

Last month Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis revealed a 60-metre pier would be installed for this year's festival, calling it "Glastonbury-on-Sea".

The Victorian-style pier has been created by Joe Rush, who previously installed the Joe Strummer Memorial Tree in 2003, and was responsible for 2017's Cinemageddon.

Speaking to BristolLive, Rush revealed that the idea came to him out of his and Eavis' love for the seaside, and will include some seaside attractions, "It's going to have everything you'd expect to find on a pier, including Punch and Judy, an arcade, carnival shows, a fortune teller, a wheel of death and more. Basically everything except the sea."

A crazy golf course will also be installed on the new attraction, alongside an area of robots, which will also include a performance from a Berlin robot band.

Although there won't be any water, the experience will be as authentic as possible, with sticks of Glastonbury rock, and fish and chips on sale.

Rush also revealed that the pier will be the new addition to The Park area of the festival, which Emily Eavis teased earlier this year on Lauren Laverne's show on BBC 6 Music.
