Glastonbury's Dragonfly designed with 'DJ's in mind'

Fatboy Slim performed inside Arcadia's new Dragonfly stage on Friday

The women who manages Arcadia at Glastonbury Festival has said the new Dragonfly attraction was made "with DJs in mind".

Arcadia has been a key destination for late-night dance music since 2009, and was previously home to a giant fire-breathing spider.

The spider has this year been replaced with The Dragonfly and Ceri Wade told the BBC Sounds Inside Glastonbury series that she is "extremely proud" of the biomechanical creature.

Ms Wade said: "We met with Fatboy Slim and the other artists as the DJ fuses with the structure and the stage and it becomes an experience."

Arcadia, which was first based in the south east side of the festival, has hosted a range of big names, including Fatboy Slim, over the last 15 years.

Ms Wade said: "It's quite a lot of pressure but it’s always fantastic to see the reaction. It’s such a sense of joy.

"The lights, the sound and setting is massive and there’s so much work that goes into this structure.

"When we see that connection with 50,000 people in the crowd, it’s really humbling and an amazing," she said.

The Dragonfly has been extremely popular with festival-goers this year

The Dragonfly is made from an adapted Royal Navy helicopter and lights up in a range of colours as it hovers above the crowd.

The new fixture has been extremely popular with festival-goers.

Festival organisers said on their website: "The transformation of the first dragonfly marks the dawn of a new season."
