JayBalls Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Well Glasto cammers, it's been real good fun in this thread watching it all come together, I'm off to the farm in the morning, hopefully see some of you at the meet, if not have a great festival one and all peace out J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dartmoordog Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 The Pyramid installation is a relatively recent thing. With the deaths of so many legends over the last year, I shouldn't think they'll be doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat me to it. Not sure if you see referring to Pennard or Oxlyers... I camp in Oxlyers and whilst it can be busy we've never had a problem getting our tents together and being able to sit in a circle and have some drinks. I know it doesn't have the best reputation on the forum but I've never had any trouble and love the location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to the back fence of Oxlyers then you'll always find space. i love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been associated with great acts that are live on stage. Since the last Glasto many great names associated with GF have passed away. Reckon it would be disrespectful to single out a performer this year If it's going to be anything, my money is on the CND sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumblestripe Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 No big tellies yet on pyramid or other, though they still have a few days and I expect Jumbotrons (do they still get called that?) are hired by the day so they'll be a last minute job. Looks like most of the food stalls are in place, I can almost taste 'em. Just got to get through another day at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midlifecrisis Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Does it look like a new path going through the field behind the large farm sheds next to Gate A? I'm sure that's normally just fenced off but it looks like there's been a pathway being marked out? I can't zoom in on my PC to have a look? New Security queuing arrangements?

If my memory serves me right, that fenced area is staff car parking, they have/had a few stewards on the gate at the top to check you have the correct parking ticket etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
