You’re in the right area. It certainly looks like the circle is the same size, just north west a bit.

 

That will definitely help crowd control with the junction of The Park and they might be able to do a one way system around how you enter into Arcadia.

It's back!  But has been moved along the hedge a bit.  May have been hidden behind the tanker in your post.

How odd....that's now about where it was last year I think. No idea why they'd move it though 🤷

Even with the advent of maps and tech, I'm still amazed how each year they're able to even make a decision on where to lay the first bit of structure in a huge field full of grass surrounded by fields. 

I imagine all the major structures have some degree of foundations already in place. There must be detailed maps for everything else, just getting all the traders in exactly the right place when they all arrive at different times needs careful planning. It’s an impressive feat.

I doubt they'd even put a fence in place without a CAD drawing of the extent of their area.

 

This won't be universally true, but applies as a rough rule of thumb - before anything gets laid down, someone should have been around the field, working from said map and then marking boundaries out with little flags so that everyone knows where everything should go. If you keep a really close eye out at the festival, you'll probably see a few of the flags left in the ground especially around market stalls.

Or they might decide to tease us and tantalisingly leave a single panel gap. That’s what I’d do if I knew folk were continuously watching it on a webcam!😊😉

And that's exactly what they did!

And the people laying the flags use GPS / mobile GIS apps surely?

I always think this, it's amazing.

Difficult to tell with the angle and foreshortening. Might be more like this:

Selfishly, I hope this doesn't happen as I camp in Oxlyers and surely this will push some Park Home people to camp there, making it more difficult to get a spot.

    • If anyone spots any new tour posters on site could they share them please? Hoping for ADTR and Electric Callboy tours
    • It completely depends on how that count is done   if it’s individuals entering the arena each day, over the whole weekend, it was at 30% capacity and in no way one of the highest attended festivals in the UK   it was in no way as low as 30% though so that can’t be the measure, so as a number, with no context, “90,000” is meaningless.   Only one category of Leeds ticket seems to have moved on to second tier pricing at this point. I don’t think this is necessarily a sales indicator as much as a method to keep prices up north lower than down south but with this and the anecdotal video evidence, it’s clear Leeds has been nowhere near its capacity (of 90,000/ day) the last 2-3 years   
    • £56 - £118 was the price range.   Which for an arena show, dare I say it, felt "okay" in this environment.
    • I’m sure someone said on here months back that they self confirmed at one of their gigs, like late last year
