Who & What is the PILTON STAGE?
Pilton, a quiet village with a loud voice!
In case you didn’t know, Pilton is the location of the world famous Glastonbury festival.
The Pilton Stage was first created in 2017 by Neil Templar together with Sir Michael Eavis (creator of the Glastonbury festival) and designed to promote independent bands and solo artists by providing them with the opportunity to play at Glastonbury.
Today, THE PILTON STAGE has become a worldwide brand attracting applications from artists from all four corners of the globe.
Each year THE PILTON STAGE organise two flagship events ‘THE PILTON STAGE AUDITIONS’ that provides artists with the opportunity to play at The Glastonbury Festival and ‘THE PARTY AUDITIONS’ that provides artists with the chance of sharing the stage with a major headliner each September at the ‘Pilton Party’. (hosted again by the Glastonbury Festival) on Worthy farm.
In 2024 THE PILTON STAGE Ltd successfully bid to manage the premises formerly known as ‘The Pilton Working Mens Club’. The venue is located in the heart of Pilton and was designed and re built in 2003 as both a Venue and Village Hall.
Although THE PILTON STAGE LTD now manage the entire complex, it’s fundamental aims and objectives remain the same…
To serve our great community, to be fully inclusive and to help as many unsigned independent artists as we can.
