I must be the only person who enjoys seeing the farm(s) return to its natural beauty. The city that's built is awesome in the most literal sense of the word, but it would be an eyesore if any of it remained year round.

You're not alone

Yes, we’ve spent many times wandering the site when it’s accessible, during fallow years etc. absolutely beautiful, just the pyramid skeleton, the ship, covered long drops,  the wood path and a few other indicators that the festival takes place there. It’s amazing the job the litter pickers, the build crew do in returning the site to this condition.

Not a cam shot - I took it from the Ribbon Tower - but do we have any idea about this section, just above the Park? Clearly accommodation, with a large amount of space, their own little compost toilets, in peak position. Who is this?

Coldplay's campsite?

Does anyone know if/when the site is open to walk around? I'm heading down that way this weekend and would be cool to have a wander, but I suspect it's too soon for that yet.

Looks like the Tipi Park.

Still a building site, so certainly not.

Yes it’s the very top of The Tipi Park. These are for artists and guests of Emily that stay for the whole festival. It’s such a long walk up to those. This is the first time I’ve seen them up so far.

In the distance is the very top of Park crew camping. Again it’s a massive slog up there and no vehicles can get into that bit. I once camped up there.

I looked at them with admiring eyes, wondering about the marvellous view each morning. Then I thought about the trudge up there in the early hours. On balance, probably worth it.

    • I agree that we’ll never really know up until the concert happens (and even then we still may not know) but I think promoters are having to come up with new tactics to combat ‘blue dot fever’ (already hating that phrase!) and trying to imply that concerts are selling better than they actually are / available tickets are in short supply is definitely one of them.    To add though, it is quite common at the O2 Arena for the rear blocks to not go on sale (and then remain closed for the concert and covered over to hide the empty seats). And equally common for standing to sell out first, then side/lower tier seating next and rear/upper tier seating last.    Jungle’s two concerts at the O2 are a good comparison for this - for their 1st (announced) date, all blocks are on sale and seats in all sections remain unsold, whereas for their 2nd date, the rear blocks are greyed out (more so than for Muse) and equally lots of seats remain unsold in the blue blocks. Standing for both concerts are showing as sold out.
    • MGK can and should headline. I was at one of his shows earlier in the year as a very casual fan, and there were a lot of alt people there. The show was actually class and he completely won me over. Anyone who opposes him headlining is just a gatekeeper imo, we need to move with the times.
    • Ultimately Glasto is just part of the festival circuit, however special we may think it is. The vast majority of its headliners have done many others
    • From Magyar’s FB:   ”Our country's energy and water supply is stable. As of today, voluntary consumption reduction is no longer necessary. The turbine at the Paks power plant is generating stably. Thanks to precipitation in Austria, the water level of the Danube will temporarily rise by 20–30 centimeters. Thank you, Hungary, for the unprecedented national unity shown in recent days! We have much to be proud of, and much to carry forward into the period ahead.”
    • I hope it stays under £400.  A lot of us aren't flush with cash.  Charities are great but do they need £1 mil (I jest)
