His latest album, "Freedom," has garnered attention and currently holds the title of Glastonbury's best-selling album.

"Lui Krieg is returning to his hometown to share his latest musical journey with the local community," said Dana Amma Day, the contact for further information about the event.

Joining him on stage will be Circulus, featuring Jenny Bliss, known for her songwriting inspired by the myths and nature of Glastonbury. Bliss, who has toured worldwide, brings her unique perspective to the event.

Special guest performances include Beyond the Veil, a sacred Temple Dance group, and Mark the Shaman, who will open the event with Shamanic Sound Activation.

Assembly Rooms have been a cultural hub in Glastonbury for over a century, hosting a wide range of events and performances. Its legacy includes hosting England's first Rural Arts Festival from 1914 to 1925, which featured prominent figures like George Bernard Shaw, Alice Buxton, Thomas Hardy, and T.E. Lawrence.
