Too many sources have said the Spider is returning for that not to be true. The evidence in favour of Pangea being back is growing. Surely we’re going to get both in some form or another? Or is that too outrageous. 

Yep the cost will be too high

The dangly moon thing didn't really work last time, so this year they're hanging the spider off the crane?

There's a lot of Pyramid stage in place now! Really taking shape

[blutarsky]

First performers on stage…

Just need the super fence to start going up and then it’s really on 

[Sku]

So the "sources" who had information about the crane being removed last week didn't end up being right. We've also seen a few close up photos of all the crane parts which have been delivered onto the site.

Really struggling to reconcile the information from "sources" and my own eyes here.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.  I'm still confident Spidey is back but there's probably no need to keep banging the drum, on either side, at the moment.

It would be pretty cool it if was both. Don't know how that works exactly from a crowd flow perspective, but having two focal points in the field would be interesting.

I would like that, but is there room? Surely something quite substantial would have to make away.

When stewards are told at a briefing that the spider is coming Back it’s something I believe is happening ….

As long as it doesn’t go by the other stage. That was awful.   Mind you access to the field Pangea is in isn’t great

I snapped this on the webcam in 2019 which was 28th May, so we’ll probably know if it’s going long before we know if it’s staying:

Anything is possible I suppose, but I can't see Glasto giving Arcadia another field along with another £500K budget!   What would be kicked out of the SE corner?  We already know Block9, Shangri-la and The Common are getting ready, so that only leaves UFG.

I'd be very surprised if they tried that again, I think everyone agreed that was the wrong place.

Block 9 to contract back from 2 fields to 1? Not that I think it'd happen, but that IICON field is massive and could fit a couple of their other venues in it.

Certainly don't blame the festival for trying things, it's certainly a live and learn process.

Another "won't do that again" is the Lovebullets tent in 2017.

Caused an horrific soundclash in the area being so close to LeftField and Glade and made the path way to narrow around there.
