No sign of the covers being dropped off yet, I doubt it will be today. Also the schedule from the planning permission that @Dukeicon found has the Pyramid build starting in April.

I noticed that too, but that's the proposed schedule as part of the yet-to-be-approved planning application, isn't it?

Won't necessarily impact this year's festival.

I think it's more of an indicative schedule rather than anything they have to stick to.

A busy week ahead of us... definitely will expect a cover on any day now. Builders are busy laying membrane and hardcore where buses go and cherry picker has found another job to attend on site. Scaffolding lorries have been at the farm too.

Yay! After a long day, that has cheered me up. Down staying at the lion pilton this week (snuck in a stay for a work trip) hoping to have a stroll Thursday morning before heading back home. Hope I see something!

Weather is awful! Can’t imagine the can put the cover on during wet and windy weather. 

Yeah, the whole structure being soaked you'd think that putting a cover on would just lock in that moisture.

So I presume they start work pretty much the day those covers get dropped at the corners … no reason they’d leave them out I guess . Need to check the weather thread to see if we have a break in the rain this week …. It’s all got a bit brighter here now but Pilton does seem to have weather of its own

Using the webcam tool I can see they were there in 2019 for at least 2 days before the covers went up.

They're still not there this year.

    • Muse new album out soon , European tour announcement for Nov and Dec, no Spanish date and north American tour starts in July and in North America for all of July and August. So primavera and Glastonbury 
    • 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!
