Glastocam!

The Pyramid installation is a relatively recent thing. With the deaths of so many legends over the last year, I shouldn't think they'll be doing it.

I concur, it gets packed but still able to sit in a circle and have the first beer of the day then it's location is suitable for a shorter walk on the way back from most late night venues.

Beat me to it. Not sure if you see referring to Pennard or Oxlyers... I camp in Oxlyers and whilst it can be busy we've never had a problem getting our tents together and being able to sit in a circle and have some drinks. I know it doesn't have the best reputation on the forum but I've never had any trouble and love the location.

If you go to the back fence of Oxlyers then you'll always find space.

i love it

They started when the Stones played, IIRC.  It was nothing to do with deaths then. No reason they won't do something this year and given the other stage has something would be odd if the pyramid didn't.

So like 4 years ago? It's been associated with great acts that are live on stage. Since the last Glasto many great names associated with GF have passed away. Reckon it would be disrespectful to single out a performer this year  

If it's going to be anything, my money is on the CND sign.

Think you're overthinking it

Yeah, maybe. I'm not going to spend anymore time on it. Got to start packing.

Some people playing catch or hacky sacks on the Pyramid field

And what an installation it was. FIRE!!!

Saw this on page 3, what's going on! Still many things to be finished on site...such as....

Cherry picker action in front of the Pyramid this morning.....perhaps something going up on top....?!

No big tellies yet on pyramid or other, though they still have a few days and I expect Jumbotrons (do they still get called that?) are hired by the day so they'll be a last minute job.

Looks like most of the food stalls are in place, I can almost taste 'em.

Just got to get through another day at work.

[Padgey]

Looking absolutely wonderful!

BBC Introducing going up!  No sign of Flagtopia yet - is that a permanent fixture?

[midlifecrisis]

Does it look like a new path going through the field behind the large farm sheds next to Gate A? I'm sure that's normally just fenced off but it looks like there's been a pathway being marked out? I can't zoom in on my PC to have a look? New Security queuing arrangements?

If my memory serves me right, that fenced area is staff car parking, they have/had a few stewards on the gate at the top to check you have the correct parking ticket etc.

I think I can smell the boiling longdrops just looking at the camera

Be thankful that there are no longer any turdis on site; in this heat they would be utterly unbearable!

Was there in 2015, not in 2016.

I think we've seen the last of Flagtopia, sadly...

I think that with all of the new innovations, areas and expansions, something had to give.

I thought it was because they have a bonfire on that field now so they can't have the flags

That sounds like entirely plausible. And a better answer than mine!

[ghostdancer1]

[Crazyfool01]

Bit disappointed by the lack of installation on the pyramid especially with the fish on other  Love these especially the Pheonix
