Has the BBC stage (presenters) always been adjacent the ribbon tower? I don't remember seeing it there last year and spent quite a bit of time over that way

Could it be as discussed the other day that we are getting a more Leeds style stage rather than the standard other stage we are used too. Owned by the same company. 

 

It looks to be that one yes, the person who spotted the difference the other day posted a link to the company who make the stages and they make both this stage you've posted above and the previously new other stage that we've had for the past couple of years.

Interesting, I am sure they said that the dimensions of this stage are actually larger as well.

In the past there have been two stages - one up by the Tree Cafe at the top of the Park and one by the farm.

Last year - from the coverage - it looked like they just had the one in The Park.

Cool thanks, must have not been paying much attention, although to be fair, I think most of last year was spent watching where I was walking because of the mud

In the piccy you can see the goalposts on the right hand side, look very similar to the webcam.

Ah. You are most certainly right. #moveonnothingtoseehere

Looks like it is the same type as the Leeds stage, but maybe a smaller config.

Only seeing 4 posts for the main roof, looks like the Leeds stage may use 6. So maybe not as deep but with the same large overhang at the front. The separate goal posts may mean bigger screens this year.

Serious Stages are local to Glastonbury with links to the festival so wouldn't surprise me if they sometimes used it to test new setups like last year. Probably less time constraints than other festivals so they can have the field for a few months if needed.

I wonder why they've changed it though? Somebody posted a link a few pages back with an article stating the new other stage was designed specifically for Glastonbury, odd that they've switched to something else after two years. Maybe an other event wanted it so they agreed on using an alternative?

So the last couple of years have been the "new" Other Stage, but this is the "Other" "new" Other Stage, because an other event wanted it as an alternative so this Other stage had to find another stage? This is going to be a nightmare to discuss over late night beverages...

Haha, in a nut shell yes, my head hurts! Maybe the big secret is the old new other stage is being rellocated elsewhere and there is a whole new other stage? 

[NickisGinger]

Isn't it more like this?

Yep, stuck again.

Seems we missed them cutting the grass in the pyramid field.

Looking dusty too! Another absolutely glorious day down on the farm.

Yeah that's it, the other other one has roof covering over each end for backstage storage.

[Dave_c]

I liked the other other stage better

[NickisGinger]

Off key a bit but looks like Radio 1's BW has a new/different stage aswell.

Yesterday's action. It was back up for about all of half an hour then stuck again on 15:10!

[big__phil]

It's least it got stuck on a sunny day! Hopefully they can get it sorted today.

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

Whatever it's stuck on it looks bloody glorious, get me there now!

wouldn't mind getting lost in a time warp on a sunny day at Glastonbury 

 

the Saturday of 2010 would have been amazing to be stuck in

[joeltg]

I almost don't want the camera to update, it looks so damn good.

But then again, I would like to see the progress today!

[shuttlep]

will someone please get out there with a Frigging camera

 

 

I feel  like if i can't see it , it doesn't exist
