REPOSTING SOME OLD PHOTOS - DON'T FREAK OUT :)

Just a reminder of the odd square thing that they were playing around with on the 12th May (A whole month ago!) so keep your eyes open for a reappearance.

Upvoted simply for your excellent cautionary disclaimer, VF

There's a lot of jitter on the forum at the moment!

Looks like they are they are putting down some kind of pathway leading into the crowd in front of the pyramid stage. Can't figure out why though...

Think that's heading out to where they build the disabled platform - wheelchair path?

I though that initially, however I can't see how that would help with access. Trying to get through on that path during a popular act would be nigh on impossible.

Thought that after I posted it!  Maybe it's a temporary track to be used whilst they're building the disabled platform.  They don't want to churn the mud up.......

Given Dave Grohl loves to run around with his guitar, do we think it could be a set up which has been requested by FF?

I would imagine some extra staging for them, but I was thinking along the lines of a runway straight out from the stage. This looks like its going to encompass the sound desks.Very intriguing indeed.

Isn't the bit around the sound stage where the surge barrier would be?

This is what I think.  There's a tractor on it now.  I think it's just a temporary roadway to protect the grass.

    • Any festival is going to face most of the same limitations just by the nature of the event. It's not realistic to accommodate custom staging that extends out deep into the field. Trying to do so and trying to rebuild those kind of structures at the front of the field every day would severely impact on other performers, potentially even including other headliners. It'd also drive everyone involved insane. The most you can get away with is a basic extension that doesn't hide anything fancy. Remember that a lot of the time on these big choreographed shows, the stage extension itself will contain all manner of things to help the show beyond just being a simple platform. Also remember that these structures are designed to be assembled and operate on perfectly flat stadium or arena floors.   In terms of the stage itself - yes, the Pyramid is undersized (I believe 16 metres wide at rigging level). The de facto industry standard has become 20 metres and so it likely does need increasing and apparently there are plans to do so. But that only helps with artists that can largely confine themselves to the stage.   The Other Stage is already 20 metres - to be exact the Other Stage structure is the same model that Serious Stages provide to Reading, Leeds, Download etc for use as their Main Stage and there's nothing larger (at least off the shelf) in their catalogue. So no reason to change that.
    • Can someone remind me, on Harry Styles specifically - have we had any concrete info on him?   I don't personally remember saying much/anything on him, though I have just been away for a month, so could be forgetting something.
