    I did some route distances with the new map overlayed on Google earth and Other to Pyramid is now about 300m longer if you go by the the left of the other stage (as you look at it), rather then the right. 

    File is in the oxfam festivals group if anyone wants it.

    Ah that sounds awesome, is there any chance someone could share a link to the file here? I don't have facebook 🙂

    I'd probably take a route twice as long going fuck knows where, it's a lot easier sitting here with google earth in front of me

    This is the truth of the matter 😁

    fwiw I just traced out my route and it's somehow 150m longer, so now I'm feeling confused and unsure of myself even though I'm sat on Google Earth

    Still no video of her coming down from on the ground? Must have been impressive! Timberrrrr

    I'm dying to see this too. Reckon if they do have any they won't release it until after the festival though.

    🤣 Who cares, let the kids go listen to Billy Eliish or the tent formally known as beat hotel 🙊 

    Oh yeah nothing wrong with it at all! It only just occurred to me. This is in part due to turning 41 recently and my mate relentlessly pointing out all of the ways that I've already become middle age without even noticing lol

    Embrace it I say! I'm gonna be happily embarrassing my kids until the day I die 😁

    Heritage DJs are definitely a thing. Luckily Sasha and Digweed have moved with the times and play pretty up-front cutting-edge stuff still. Some of the '90s DJs are still anthem bashing handbag house in Stoke On Trent. 

    Oh shit that never occurred to me. I guess someone like Judge Jules would be a heritage DJ these days right?

  6. If you think about it heritage DJ sets must be on the verge of becoming a thing. For instance, Sasha and Digweed put out their first Renaissance mix cd 30 years ago! When I first went to the festival 30 years ago was 1972, I'd have considered any band from that era to be old as fuck. So how much longer before we're going to see Fatboy Slim headline the Acoustic stage?

    It's definitely interesting how music tastes and accompanying biases have changed in recent years, to the point that kids seem more than happy to go and watch DJs who are in their 50s.

  7. I think we need to be a little more honest with ourselves around this issue.

    No doubt there are some dickheads who don't give a fuck and will merrily piss anywhere and everywhere, but more urinal troughs would definitely make a huge difference in cutting down those who get caught short drunk in the dark and think 'fuck it once won't hurt'. If you put 150,000 people in a field and feed them beer all day some of them will suddenly need to go, and if they can't get to a toilet quick enough they'll opt for wherever they can find over wetting their pants. Whilst it's mostly blokes women certainly aren't immune to this, despite being more used to patiently queuing. Seen plenty of ladies having a sly squat over the years.

    Pissing on the land will never be completely eliminated, and toilet provision whilst far better than it used to be still has room for improvement.

    that looks like they are breaking her up and moving her parts to what looks like a skip at the side of the field 

    In the skip! Brutal.

     Looks like they're pulling Pangea apart. 

    Cheapest way to move it I guess. I hope it's gone soon, looking at it is making me feel a little bit sad lol

    Honestly this line up may just be the best festival line up in history. 

    It's absolutely insane and we've still got a bunch of areas to be revealed and a host of names to fill the gaps on the top stages. 

    Combine that with 3 years of pent up festival frustration, a load of sun and cider and you've got yourself the recipe for the biggest party on the planet. 

    Dust off your dancing pants team. 

    I. Can. Not. FUCKING. WAIT!!!!

    I was pondering over how strong the line up is so far and I think it's largely due to how accepted DJs have become. Took a long time, but we're there. We're more or less a nation of ravers now.

    Could this be the year I finally see the Stanton Warriors?! 

    Probably not, but a man can dream... 

    I'm the same with Sasha and/or Digweed. Manage to miss them every time either due to clashes or fuckedness. Maybe this will be the year!
