I went there this afternoon,rode my motorbike right up to Pyramid Stage,was really wierd sitting there looking out at a few sheep :-). Yes the fence is starting to go up its all laid down along rear of Dairy fields waiting to be erected,not so much going on today,lots of portacabins in coach park area and quite a few caravans / mobile homes occupied by workers i would imagine. They will have to get a move on to get it all ready.

Drove past the site on my way back from North Devon on Sat and saw glimpses of the fence. Always amazes me how there appears to be so little apparent activity until around the final week before the festi.

Yea, all that does though is link to the image's urls which are:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/glastonbury/2008/webcam/img/pyramid.jpg

http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/webcam/webcamg...mages/other.jpg

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/webcam/webcamg...greenfields.jpg

It doesnt do anything the bbc site doesn't.

I have gadgets on my desktop showing the images and it refreshes every 10 mins so I always have an up to date image - still never seen the greenfields cam though. I sent an email to the bbc last week about it.

    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
    • Wow just got myself some Megadeth tickets and not sure I can afford another set of tickets for another gig so soon but we'll see. Fingers crossed
    • Can't speak for Dua Lipa's, but Coldplay's was vastly scaled down compared to their stadium production staging though, and tracks were adapted to reflect that. MOTS tour had a full walkway 30m out to the B-Stage in the middle of the crowd, and two C-Stages. Glastonbury didn't accommodate that at all and just had a very small walkway in front of the Pyramid stage, and (IIRC) a disconnected B-Stage.   Which re-enforces my point. Acts can adapt their stage shows if they really want. Most do, some don't want to. Glastonbury might miss out on the odd act that doesn't want to slightly adapt, but so will most festivals.
