how exciting!

we are almost there.

[solusoracle]

Looks like the NME/Radio 1 tent has been rotated 90 degrees.

[samc86]

Nice one for the pictures! adds to the excitement!

I agree, it looks as though the radio one has been rotated

[markeee]

Boy have they been busy! since Friday - Today.....all the tents for the stages have gone up and also the main stage finally has some sort of a roof/covering to it at last ...also the camping areas have all the little different coloured flags up to represent which field....its really starting to look like a festival is about to take place there now

The first pic (top link) was taken this morning and the others this afternoon on the way back home

[fat_man_joe]

Yeah cheers for the pics dude

It's looking exciting

[swax]

Yeah I think its been rotated to allow better access on 3 sides, so along with the extended arena it should relieve some of the major crowd issues on that side of the site.

Good move FR!

is white a bit more kinda quiet as it's out the way than some campsites where you hear it's just always busy / loud etc?

[Benj]

It looks like the Tent has been completely spun round so that the back of the stage faces towards the main stage. How far to the west have they West have they pushed the tent too? Is the arena much bigger??

[Reading Local]

Took these Thursday & Yesterday - as you can see the main stage is pretty much done now and from what else I saw a lot of the beer tents, marquee tents etc...had gone up or were in the process of going up...also tried taking a few photos of some of the campsite grounds and also of the bridge going over to white..sorry about the poor quality of some of these ones in particular

[indieboymatt]

just in time production = less expenditure = more profit

why pay for the tents when you dont need them?

[Reading Local]

Taken today....just 4 more days to go ;o)

Boy they must have been really busy over the weekend - all the fencing etc seperating main arena from backstage and also for all the camping and all the border fencing etc...has been put up along with all the beer tents, catering etc...

I guess these might be the final ones from me but might try and get some tomorrow for those that aren't going until Thursday so you can see what the camping is looking like...anyway taken this morning and this evening on the way back - as you can see from the evening ones...main arena and all around there looks all done now with flags up everywhere, all the stalls etc......its nearly party time

It's amazing how close to the railway line the Reading Festival is. Imagine what it would look like going past on a train on bank holiday weekend.
