The project takes inspiration from "the prehistoric supercontinent where every land on earth was one and the future was yet to be written, this is the dawn of a new era."

As stated in the video, this year the team behind Arcadia are asking fans to step inside Pangea and "unleash (their) imagination" this year in order to inform the look and feel of the next.

While it's hard to say what this means for Arcadia in 2019, it's clear that all the ideas harnessed will hugely impact the area in Glastonbury's 50th anniversary.
