Friend of mine who was on site today met with the operational manager of the festival. Apparently there are 2000 people already on site for the set up! 

 

Have you heard anything more about security measures that are going to take place at all.

For someone that doesn't know the site all to well, whats all the stuff on the far left of the webcam. The small blue/turquoise tent? and all the stuff the only side of the road to the right?

that -may- be the Avalon Cafe, but I'm probably wrong :)

I am also confused about that area and tent and I've been more times than I care to say.  Is that the big rail crossing, that's always really busy (with block of toilets on the railway) up from the West Holts and on the way to Greenpeace.  If it is then I've no idea what a turquoise tent is doing there.  Sense of direction not my thing so excuse me if I'm totally wrong.  Also it looks so different without everything in place.  Very excited now

My interpretation is that it's somewhere left of avalon - I've been assuming avalon is in the clump of trees to the right.  That would put it very near district 9 - so I'm not very confident.  Maybe cabaret tent going up (if visible to us) will help place things.

So that is not the railway at all then :blink:

it is but the crossing you are thinking of is the one to the right of there, with the big red tent just below it.

Edit: at least I *think* that's the one you are thinking of...

No I'm sure thats the rail crossing at the corner of Pennards Hill (Toilets on the flat not on the railway line) Near the Glade .  Its all very confusing -

What's the light and dark blue striped round tent. Just the the right of the center? I think it's in Silver Hayes nothing matches up on the map.

Yeah. It's the same shape as Wow, but Wow is normally a bit further into the corner. Not sure....

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • 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.
