The Leftfield Tower

[monxton]

Actually I'm a bit squeamish about the idea that everything at the festival is temporary. It always feels more like somewhere I go on holiday every year. When you visit a place once a year, most things are just the same, but a few things have changed - maybe a new eating place has opened, or an old one has moved, a new bridge has been built.

But can someone in the know tell me - is the leftfield tower there all the time, or is it erected and taken down every year? Things I've read suggest the latter, but I wonder why, and where does it go?

Why?

It'd need planning permission if it were to stay erected every year.

The Pyramid stage used to be taken down and put up every year, then they kept it up but had to get planning permission for it.

Also because of the moving and electrical parts in it, it is probably not wise to leave them outside all year otherwise it'll cease up and break more easily.

Where does it go?

I'd imagine somewhere safe at the farm, probably with all of the signs that go around the site.

It's taken down each year and usually just gets left stacked up on the ground.

You mean seize up? Or am I demonstrating a sense of humour failure?

as you come through pgc, wristbands etc, toilets on the right is where that is.
