I think it goes on after the Friday night headliner, but maybe it's earlier than that...

I think it's usually on on Weds and Thursdays?  Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me?

There you go then, I really wasn't sure. Does it come on after the Weds fireworks maybe?

It's on when i'm driving into the festival on a Tuesday night. Seeing the light from a distance is like an indicator that we've arrived.

it looks like it is switched on on the Tuesday before gates open on the Wednesday, at least it was in 2017 based on these webcam archives.

This is from 04:30 on the Wednesday morning 21st June 2017

actually I've looked a bit further back, it seems to go on for the first time on 9th/10th June (below is 04:30 on 10th)

Then it was switched off again on the night of 18th/19th June until the Tuesday evening (below is 04:30 on 19th)

    • I'm 59. It's not so much the music as the camping/late night chaos I've grown out of at R+L. If I was still local to Leeds I might still be persuaded for a day ticket if the lineup was to my taste.
