Does anyone know what those three white tents next to the Pyramid are for? I've always wondered. I suspect they're for artists and their entourage before they go on stage, but I'd be interested to find out.

Yeah from the sounds of that video form the chap who did thee Coldplay projections in 2011 they are the backstage area for artists and crew.

Not particularly, as it'd totally fuck with my allergies at this time of year. I was raised in rural Cornwall and I have fucking hayfever. Sigh.

What is happening with the Other Stage? I feel like stuff has been removed from it.

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

It's weird. The roof needs to go up a little bit more still as well, and somebody mentioned the cover probably hasn't been put on due to wind but all the other stages have their covers and have done for weeks. Plus they've still got to kit it out with all the lighting stuff etc. Still plenty of time of course, just weird its sat idle for weeks with the roof not quite at the top.

[NickisGinger]

I'm sure the other day infront was a few structures of some sort that now seem to of disappeared..

Could it be that parts of the Other Stage are currently still used at other festivals? I understood that lots of tents & stages are multi-used.

I'm pretty sure the trees on the right are were the Glade stage is, tipi village just above, I presume the red topped tent is Leftfield but may well be wrong

Could it be that this 'new' other stage is an open sided stage - something like the one used at coachella?

Farms looking beautiful this eve btw! Lovely sunset! 

[Dave_c]

Did they remove the crossbar from the right side goalposts of the other? Also seem to have removed the PA stage thing. What's going on?

[Losing my hair]

9 more sleeps.

[General Lee]

Looking lovely tonight. 

Only trouble is it's about 700 and something sleeps for me!

Coachella is a vastly different climate to Glastonbury, there's no way a stage like that is practical here. All you need is a bit of drizzle and a stiff westerly breeze and you will end up with a whole load of soaked equipment.
