I don’t think the actual screens go up yet do they? Just the frames? 

 No sorry I do just mean the frame..  wasn’t sure how to term it.  Mind you if it’s new wider screens that wrap to the edges we might see them up earlier than Thursday 23rd

Trussing / Rigging would be the words I'd use.

Ah I see. I don’t think it’s the right frame for a wrap… my guess is they are larger but still suspended.

One thing for certain, the screen can’t hang between the supports anymore due to the additional column. So as it must be mounted in front it could in theory be considerably larger than before.

So we’re gonna have to wait another 7 weeks to find out just how big it really is!

2019 image helpfully provided by @leath02, yellow an overlay of this morning’s erection together with the pyramid:

The perspective isn’t a 100% match but the rigging towers don’t appear to be wider. 🙁

As @Junglist1981 says though the central support is definitely new, so maybe bigger screens mounted on the front v hanging between? We shall see!

Nothing to say screens couldn’t be bigger than the frame tho, so the third leg could be a centre mount

Yeah totally - if the screens are bigger and front mounted then they will put a greater tipping moment through the frame - which maybe is why they need that extra supporting truss. 

Something will be different at any rate 🙂

    • Lets get the ball rolling then...  The dates are confirmed for 22nd-25th July. As for acts, the headliners recently seem to be a big solo 70s/80s name and then 2 MOTR crowd pleasers so worth seeing who starts being announced for places from the autumn  I had seen Sam Fender is reportedly doing outdoor shows next year so could see him as the act who ends up doing here, IoW and TRNSMT  Florence and the Machine would be an absolute dream but not sure if she'll be touring 2 years in a row  Id seen also George Ezra was spotted at the festival this year so I'm sure he'll shuffle his way in somehow!  Let the speculation begin...

    • Feels like Rush's structure is set up for days off after shows tbf. They have a night off after all 3 shows in London, and I'm assuming somebody else has snuck into the gaps and put in a show.
    • I'm bemused why Jaissle hasn't been confirmed yet. If he and his coaches are already there, surely the paperwork to send this through must be somewhat sorted and confirmation imminent, no?   Feel like clubs are soft on tapping up now as an industry, right? I swear most deals seem to be a case that personal terms are agreed beforehand. In an older life, this Bruno deal has a potential case imo given the use of intermediaries to plant a seed in Bruno's mind this was a good idea (much I'm prepared to accept last season's mess would likely have had Bruno doubting if he wanted to stay regardless) but the industry seems more forgiving of this stuff at present. Wind seems to be picking up that a deal is about to happen regardless. Shame as I'd have been more willing to accept a move to Real Madrid but it is what it is.   Would be nice if we could show some more balls with this stuff tbf. Feel like the owners are taking a strange lesson from Isak last year in that now, we just have to let everyone go at the first sign of trouble, even though other clubs in a similar boat to us are seemingly more willing to turn back and tell pursuers to f**k off.
    • I wouldn't. U2 would almost certainly be doing stadiums and Muse have been saying they have stadium shows booked. They're the likelier of the two to be doing BST Hyde Park, but my expectations would be to expect them turning up at a stadium.
