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)

Thats awesome, first time I've ever seen the festival all set up but no tents. 

 

I''m easily pleased.

The levels you have gone to are a comfort to me, a fellow obsessive

    • Same’s happened at MSG recently with Rush and Phish alternating nights. I guess each band has its own unique production so their riggers will be kept busy
    • The rumour was uk arena tour late this year.  Same as Charli xcx cant be announced until Reading headline is done.   
    • Latest from the sun at least is that harry is still headlining but Olivia has turned down a spot next year to work on new music and hope for 2028.   So they can't have Fender, Fontaines, Harry, Olivia and Madonna. 
    • I mean I don't think EC and FFDP are borderline sub, they wouldn't be any lower now.   2025 is about as strong as Bloodstock gets yet this year only one headline would sub and the others would play 3rd down or lower.    Machine Head wouldn't sub at Download regardless of rarity, they don't sell enough tickets and I'm not sure Gojira would sub either. Their last UK tour was a mix of smaller arenas and academy dates. Ally Pally being the only London date, not even Wembley Arena. 
    • live music / main stage will generally end around 11pm but theres dj’s and late goings on right till 4am if you are so inclined.   Drinks are about £7.50 a pint probably and yes theres lots of mixed drinks / spirits / cocktails available to buy   wonderful festival, back for my third year in a row and 4th overall
