BBC introducing stage moved?

[glastofever]

The BBC introducing stage is being moved from the Park to the Dance Villiage. http://www.glastonburypeople.co.uk/news/BB...il/article.html.

Sorry if its been posted already but couldn't see it anywhere.

Something new in the Park, cool! Beeb are obviously expecting some good stuff on their stage? Or is it because the Park area is so isolated from the rest of the festie and not attracting the crowds?

[glastofever]

Probably the latter. I think it will be good to have it in the dance area as it will be more accessible. I hope they have some good up and coming talent on it this year as i have never ventured to watch anyone beofre.

Maybe so Zane Lowe can do a set on Wednesday outdoors (like the G-Stage) instead of this years rammed tent?

[glastofever]

Yeah i was like a sardine last year. An outdoor gig would be amazing on the Wednesday as long as it doesn't clash with the footie.

Boo. I liked it in the Park. Saw some good stuff in there, but do appreciate the point about lack of audience. At one point I was in there with a maximum of 10 other people watching an asian women doing a DJ set. She was pretty good too and deserved a bigger audience.

I agree that The Park was the wrong place for the BBC stage, but I'm not sure the Dance Village is the right place to move it to - there is enough sound bleed in that part of the site as it is.

I'd be inclined to say put it near the JP stage somehow.

I can't keep up with the changes to the site this year (and last year) so I'm really looking forward to seeing this year's map. Changes that will affect the layout for me:

• Cinema field not the cinema field - tent moved near the Acoustic Stage

• BBC Introducing Stage Moved

• Leftfield moved

• Queens Head moved

• New camping areas for 2010

• Jazzworld name change

• New bit around Shangri-La

I'm going to need to study this map thoroughly so I know where I'm going!!!

As for the vacated space in The Park - easy. A second Red Flag. More ale. Solved.

I'm sure Neil mentioned that it's not going to be called Jazzworld this year, but we don't know what to. Yet.

Purely a name change though - not a major rehaul of the type of acts who'll perform there.

Wasn't it called The One World Stage one year?

I'm getting confused now.

On efestivals rumours lists, there's a Jazzworld stage listed with Corrine Bailey whatsherface listed.

And then there's also a Jazz/Blues stage listed with Sandi Thom on it.

Are these the same stages then? And if they aren't where's the blues stage going to be?

I think you're becoming a bit confuddled seef sir.

Jazz/Blues Stage - different. A new, small stage.

Jazzworld Stage - won't be called Jazzworld Stage this year. But will act the same as it always have.

[Langdale Wolf]

I am properly confuddled now. They aren't going to call the Jazz World Stage the Blues/Jazz stage? Because that might just finish me off, and see the men in white coats coming to get me.

[Chocky]

To the "Courvoisier Urban and Hip Hop Stage", because of the dramatic change in genre choices this year.

[sifi]

Well they might do, but as there's a new stage called something like that, it'd be a bit daft.

They could at least have gotten a decent sponsor, like Cristal - what next? Swarovski instead of De Beers.....tut tut, this festival is going to the dogs

[Chocky]

Hijack!

Chocky the camels in the car thing is the funniest thing ive ever seen. Kudos.
