Night view from the Ribbon Tower from 2011. Pyramid stage is near the centre just under a quarter of the way down from the top. Same view as the original poster but with a shorter lens (52mm). Not the best quality as it was hand held at night and I needed to use 3600 iSO to avoid camera shake, but it came out okay.

Fantastic photo Jameshunt.

glasto-worker - Yes I've posted some panoramas of the site before. Here's one from 4 or 5 days ago. There's not much to see yet though. The ribbon tower is only partly built in this one.

It's a case of out of the frying pan and into the fire with this thread. I've just watched the Eurovision Song Contest and thought I'd witnessed all the innuendo I was to experience tonight. You get the point. Now you've got me at it. Where will it end?

I have a confession to make. I actually walked out about 1 minute into the voting, so don't actually know who won. I had predicted it to be Norway. Thought it would be them or Greece. Will no doubt soon find out whether I was right or wrong.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
