Maybe they have taken the camera offline in anticipation of the big reveal of the "Big Secret"...or maybe it's just a technical glitch.  

I wondered this.

There's quite a bit of extra space above the park now the fence line has moved back. I wonder if they'll move the sign further up the hill?

Is that a definite change, the fence is further back than last year?

I pity the poor buggers that heed the advice "walk all the way to the top, don't turn round....."

[Padgey]

So what will we see when it is back up and running?  Fence joined up? Ribbons on the Tower?  T'Other stage up?! A whole new area?!!

We could be in for a long wait!

[kalifire]

I've tweeted @bbcglasto as have a few others. They're bound to be aware of the issue. Just hope it's back up soon. I check in throughout the day 

[broken monkey]

Woohoo, it's back. Jeese, I think I might have actually done some work today!

Well almost...

Looks like the Other stage is going to be different to last year:

Note how the roof is pitched from side to side rather than last years front to back. Also currently only 4 main upright bits, rather than 8 or so last year........

 

Looking more like the leeds festival stage??

Is that the big suprise, a slightly smaller different roofed other stage?

[thatcrazypenguin]

Longest the cams been down in ages

...something they dont want people to see on the build? Or an on site reveal for the 'big secret' like radioheads?

[poison69]

The other stage looks like a rather elaborate bog roll holder at the mo!

Might be a good thing. The Other Stage is bloody massive. The acts are often drowned in the space. 

 

Newton Faulkner looked a bit lost on it last year!

A smaller stage = more room in the new market area ?

[Losing my hair]

Looks like it's stuck again.

Yeah I agree, although it's a difficult one because in the day, and especially if it's not sunny it's such a barren area that you'd think it would need as big a stage as possible, but somehow the one they've had for the past couple of years hasn't been quite right either, IMO of course.

Could of been testing something on the pyramid stage. Was some activity around there before the cam went off and they were messing around with what looked like a video screen on there last week.

[Crazyfool01]

There is something going on .... how can a webcam be so bloody unreliable ?!!

Looks exactly the same to me. Was pitched side to side before.

Considering they built it new for Glastonbury, I hardly think they'd bin it after 2 years.

What we can see must be one of the ends laid out sideways rather than the front then, and they only put up some of the uprights.

Leeds festival stage is hardly small once you've got the goalposts for video screens and pa. I think it could well be deeper than last years stage.

Looks like they are using the TZ rather than Triton?

I think it's the camera angle. It's in situ and the roof goes straight up.

Up.

[Dave_c]

Definitely looks different if that is the beginnings of the roof.
