Glastocam!

Feel like the JP tent should be up, it's massive and non-existent currently!

By all accounts the tents are hired so no point putting them up early and incurring extra cost. It would add some colour to the landscape though.

Guess putting them up at the last minute also helps keep the grass inside fresh.

well it may do but the real reason when they are put up is down to what contracts they have - I know a guy who works with the the main tent hire company - tents are shipped in and stored - they then drive in the guys who erect them - its a major undertaken - I know where they store them and I cant see their camp has been set up yet so they look as if they are not sticking to the 2014 timetable - I am sure by next week most will be up and the workers are moved on to other parts of the Country { they never see any of the festival } - last year he was posting images to his FB page but so far no images have appeared.

Tipi's are going up rapidly this morning.

Saw on the Points West news clip that a tent it laid out ready to go up, possibly Acoustic Tent which we won't be able to see on Glastocam.

I love coming back onto the camera avery few hours to see how many more tipis are up!

WBC Setup Crew is now onsite - so Bars will be going up soon - getting them up is the easy part - its all the equipment - pumps/coolers etc etc that is the tricky part.

Will we be able to see any of the bars getting setup using the cam or are they all out of view?

Hoping for excitement like the year Mandela went up, went down, turned around and went up again.

that was due to ' health and safety reasons ' - well that is what a GFL official told them - sounds a load of bollocks to me as it was only moved a few feet - some of these health and safety officers just pick on the smallest thing - a right waste of money - its been in the same spot for donkey years so I could not see what the problem was.

well that cam needs a bloody good readjustment as its aimed too high
there will be some that can be spotted
Dreamtime will be clearly visible { the big bar next to the other stage }
for some daft health and safety reasons - Mandela is being pitched further up the hill so not sure if that cam will show the top of it - time will tell.
I can see some of the WBC Containers next to what will become our crew camp - they will be arriving every few hours - they are like a mobile B&Q - packed out with everything that anyone could possible need + all their BBQ system - although they claim they will be hard at it 24/7 I have seen the videos when they get back at night - its amazing they get everything ready in time but they do - not many people will know that no bar can start trading until weights and measures take samples from every MDU { the units that pour 12 pints at a time } - they take samples away with them and will report back although so far all the claims about the beer being watered down is complete bollocks - the WBC would never risk it even if it was even possible. All the optics are checked as well and they even take sample cups away - they are there for days all dressed up with their forensic gear on - a few times some bars could not open at the posted time due to their checks - they then may come back and do a few spot checks.

    • So we've signed a Horny Czech, and Bruno's turned up the training camp instead of doing Isak's nonsense.   Still not sure I believe Bruno's staying mind, but glad he's not doing the sh*t Arsenal are asking him to do to lower the price. If they want him they can stump up.   My suspicion is that whichever of Madrid/Man City don't start next season with Rodri will go for Bruno, and one of them will come in while Arsenal have f**ked about trying to get him cheap, which while I absolutely want to keep him, would still be good enough bants and a nice middle finger that I wouldn't mind it so much. I just wish we'd report Arsenal for tapping up.   If rumours are to be believed, we're after 2 more defensive signings, and an attacking player, on top of a replacement if Bruno leaves, having already signed a LW, 2 CMs, a GK, and some youth players. Huge churn, but apart from a couple of Bazou Toure's games for Ivory Coast at the world cup, I've not seen any of them play. Over 2 summers we've basically changed our entire team aside from the CBs.
    • I think the level of headliners Bloodstock get is varied    There's been bands who have gone on to play Download in quite a low spot like Meshuggah, Behemoth, Opeth etc.    Then they've had years like 2025 where you can argue that all three headliners are download main stage sub level    Knocked Loose right now i'd argue are 3rd down on main/opus headliner level while EC and FFDP are borderline main stage sub 
    • Yeah Roy's Tune was lovely. Looking forward to the whole thing hopefully going on iPlayer.   It's scattered dates they have this year really, proper tour/s to come next year - suspect a new single will drop in the next couple of months, providing the album is done.
