As Glastonbury’s Official Communications Partner, Orange will be celebrating the festival’s 40th anniversary in style. The Orange Chill ‘n’ Charge tent is back and this year it’s bigger and better than ever before. For 2010, Orange has created an incredible three-zone area themed around the Past, Present and Future.
Future
The future will be represented in Orange’s phenomenonal future cube. Rest your weary feet and step into an animated world of Glastonbury 2050 with an impressive 360 degree projection that spans the 9 x 9m Orange structure. Visitors will be invited to select their own line up for the Pyramid Stage, play interactive games to win side of stage tickets and even select the weather; all of which will effect the audio, lighting and mood of the space - a true vision of what festivals may be like in years to come. The future cube will also host the premiere of three Music Matters films unveiled by a very special guest on Saturday 26th June. The Music Matters campaign is a collective of people across the music industry, including artists, retailers, songwriters, labels and managers, formed to remind listeners of the significance and value of music.

Present

Orange will provide laptops with internet access, so you can tweet about your Glastonbury adventures, there will also be a 3D Glastonbury Map so that festival goers can work out their movements for the day ahead, the 3D map features a 'fly through' function allowing them to cast a birds eye view over the festival site.
Past
