Jazz World Stage
This year, the arena sound is featuring the world's first ever variable dispersion speakers.
The lighting will be bigger and better, and will be utilising the new delay towers in the arena for flying further gadgetry.

Dance Tent
This is (apparently) much improved for this year - in previous busy years it has been too small to get everyone near it, forget about getting inside! Also, having the giant football screen nearby will probably attract people to the area who otherwise wouldn't visit.
Sheila of Fazorhead will be doing costumes for some of the dancers.

Croissant Neuf Stage
situated in the Green Roadshow Field, a permanent feature for as long as I can remember.
The power for this tent comes from renewable sources.
A great place to see bands after the main stages have finished. Many good bands play each daytime too.
Read the blackboards outside the tent to see who is playing when.
