Yes, Radio 2 on Saturday with Emily

That's got to be it - outside broadcast set up for Radio.  Can't see there being any live acts - not enough time to set up a stage or anything is there?

Set up an outside broadcast studio for an acoustic set from Taylor shouldn’t be beyond the realms of possibilities ? ... we need an expert in broadcast setups ...

You only need one truck for an outside broadcast for radio - see below for when Lauren Laverne was at the farm last year:

Ah, interesting then.  Will keep an eye on the webcam for developments!

So those big-ass trailers, inside the heras fencing - are they hospitality type things normally seen in the back stage area for artists? With maybe a production suite round near where the cider bus goes?  Is that the general thinking? 

And is Taylor a serious proposition, or just a pipe-dream?

They are portacabins (they get taken off the trailers) and are used for many things, from site offices to artist dressing rooms.

How long does the pyramid take to get dressed ? ... I reckon they can do that in a couple of days ... eyes open for cherry picker action ... 

It takes quite a while for the stage to be built. And given there's a special guest on the bill in two days, I don't think the Pyramid is going to be dressed. Unless they performed on the grass? If it is getting dressed, it would have to start right away.

    • Well he is on a rape charge, don't see that one as controversial.    Although Hakimi is in Morocco squad.   
    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band.
