Well it's certainly different, question is - what's it for? Perhaps just decoration, I can't imagine they'll have screens at that height. 

Could be video screens. The Glastonbury main stages are starting to look a bit dated compared to the edge to edge screens at Creamfields etc.. They get used as part of the lighting rig rather than just video camera feed.

Was this taken on a camera from 1932?

It's a watercolour painting from The Park's artist in residence :)

Wow.  Never seen those before.  They are very impressive!

The staging, lighting and visuals at Dance festivals are on another level in general.

I mean heck just compare most of the main stages to Arcadia in terms of production. Esprcially when some of thw Glasto stages are kinda lackluster (looking at you Other Stage, imagine a Chem Bros or Tame Impala show with stages and screens as impressive at the ones from Creamfields)

Aye, true that. Went to Mad Cool last year and Tame Imapla's live visuals on those sort of screens they have at dance festivals was something else.

Another angle of the Park Stage. Photo cropped from Emily's Instagram post.Screenshot_20190513-200524_Instagram.jpg.06ad43ba329be96e633e21f89da8763c.jpg

It looks as though it's about to topple over - must be the excess weight.

 

Edit: On second thoughts that's probably me I'm referring to.

    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury 
    • Glasto loves a come back act - how about the Rapture?    
    • Yeah mentioned in the park thread but feel more Woodsies to me
