Has anyone heard about the ziplines being installed on site? I've a friend who works behind the scenes, usually dealing with press queries and the like, and was having a chat over the weekend and there are going to be at least two, possibly more, ziplines installed across the site. I know there's talk of various things being moved around this year, but this sounds amazing and I can't wait to try them out.

Been inspired by this one that opened in Wales http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-21889684

Plan is that there will be one from the Ribbon tower in the Park that will run down towards the old train track, possibly slightly beyond it. They're looking at another from the top of hill at the stone circle down to green futures I think and possibly from the acoustic tent down to the theatre field (does that sound right? that sort of direction, anyway).

Sounds totally amazing…can you imagine how much fun it will be flying over the site? And those hills, especially from the Ribbon tower down over Pennards/Park home-ish is going to be incredible! Can't wait for this!!

I'm not smart enough for a clever ruse ;-p

Surely you can see how this would work? I've been going for years, and often think 'There's got to be a quicker way to get across the site', and now (fingers crossed) there will be!

      Audrey Hobert getting a lot of traction lately and new single on Friday. Wonder if she could be round next summer.

      Think Pulp are optimistic, not in terms of size but just that they've been on the road (albeit not intensively) for 3 years in a row and it feels like EotR is the deliberate end of the cycle.   Would be fairly surprised if they're active next year.

      Production was the only thing that could even explain why she would back out. Like they had sorted out the financials and she was fine with it and then a production meeting happened. It all fell apart. It was very clear that she was not going to compromise her show one bit and then that show in Brazil pretty much confirmed it. There was like one element they couldnt pull off outdoors, but it was negligible since the rest was a carbon copy of the tour she had been on. Glasto is not willing to make any bold changes on the Pyramid stage so then theyre kinda stuck in terms of what some acts want/demand. I think the easiest solution to that is putting her on Friday. You deal with the changes for one night and then re configure for the rest of the weekend. In 24 they were fortunate to have had Dua and Coldplay on Fri and Sat so they could both use the b stage. But I think it was removed for Sunday?     I saw a random rag article earlier that said Olivia Dean turned down Glasto BECAUSE her ex ( not even confirmed dating ) Harry Styles was playing the fest. hahahaha

      No argument that he’s bigger than ever, I just have no enthusiasm for it.
