On site observations

Why every year do they swap the side of the field for the Avalon inn?! 

[wonker]

Hi guys on site, was wondering if anyone had a photo of the love bullets tent? I'm just wondering how impossible it will be to get involved with Elrow today/tomorrow in terms of popularity!? Also intrigued to see the new massive Temple site if anyone can post photos.

Thanks!!

Walked past yday and they were dressing it for Elrow. It's small, it'll be very packed

Yeah, I suspected the situation would be something like that...

It's same side this as last.

Goan fish curry has moved slightly, still lovely though and was cheap, think they might have under charged me 

[BigChief]

Am I correct in thinking the Gas Tower is new? Anyone got any pictures?

[dazednconfused]

Shangri La all new - can't upload pics as too big

[kalifire]

Still no installation atop the Pyramid. Looks like we're not getting one this year...

[p.pete]

Any ideas of new piano bar location?

[Mezhyp1]

Is it me or is The Beat Hotel a lot smaller?

Weird if they've abandoned it after a year which has given them so much material. Maybe they couldn't decide which dystopian nightmare event to focus on.

Anyone know where all the compost loos have gone? They appear to be very few in number

I thought the same today

Noticed quite a few new walk ways and areas... Shangri-la is looking sweet, some big sound systems down there and a couple of new installs. 

Arcadia is looking and sounding louder again, the flames have got there old Ooomphhh back. 

The Glade area for me is far too over crowded and dangerous with the new tent (love bullet). Don't quite think enough effort put into the crowd control there. 

Security tight on the entrances

Top left of Sacred Space (when looking up from the field entrance). It's quite far up and not finished yet.

[kalifire]

Slightly off the main areas in the lanes and walkways, I'm seeing quite a few more fucked up people than normal. Those out of their heads and unable to handle it.

Top of the Other Stage for sure, can't remember the other places.

Anyone else think it seems to be WAY too busy this year. Just had crowd surges in Shangri La for Kurupt FM and people getting crushed

[vintagelaureate]

Arcadia crowds were very busy

Everywhere has seemed rammed! Even areas that are normally a bit more chill like BBC Introducing have been swamped! Not really looking forward fighting to Foos tomorrow after Stormzy.

I am enjoying myself, but genuinely considering making this my final year. I feel like something has changed with the atmosphere and culture of the festival, which I'm not too mad about. Seems like a lot more of the V Festival-types, deckchair dickheads and general knobheads about. It also seems to me that a lot of independent food vendors have been axed in favour of larger companies.
