Thing is, do we think they would upgrade the other stage to the extent that it's a better setup than pyramid? I can't see it to be honest and think the screens will just be the same as they have been recently.

I don't see it as better... more that they offer different things. The pyramid is iconic, legendary and great for certain acts. But some acts will thrive on a more visual stage... such as acts like Charli.

Yeah I know what you mean and that's true to an extent but having much larger wraparound screens improves the experience for everyone, especially those further back. The pyramid would benefit more from larger screens due to the size of the arena then the other stage would.

Looks like the best shots from past festivals have gone from the webcam. Apart from one night time clip. 

The best shots are now back!  The BBC must have a log on here and realised how upset I was at their disappearance 😉😊😉

In some ways the other stage is more advanced than pyramid. The pyramid is an awkward shape to work around, especially with screens.

Stage is different this year, it’s lower but the goal posts are much wider and practically touching the stage. I know we also talk about this, but really could be a good chance for wrap around screens. GIF from discord.

Has it not just moved over a little towards the webcam so it looks lower in relation to the hedgerow behind?

The Other needs something a little different as it's just such a dull set up. Great opportunity to justify wrap arounds now they've extended the field and added more repeaters. I camped at where the back edge of the new arena has been taken back to now, in 2022 and watching/listening from that far back wasn't really a viable option with the old set up.

Talking of new stages going up, does anyone know if the Woodsies tent is the same one that’s been in use at R1 Big Weekend?

I was thinking this, looked very much like it inside but it's this one

I’d love them to have wraparound screens but not sure from looking at the post EE made.. would the goalposts need to be more attached than this? It’s still half built tho so maybe..

so they really have the structure to do this? Doesnt look like it to me. Also if youre doing this then the screens better be 4k capable also

That's impressive, where is that? The stage they used in 2015 and 2016 seemed to have more potential for that type of setup, not sure why they stopped using it.

Coachella. Thats the current version with the main PA raised above the screens so it obscures nothing. First version of their all screen stage  debuted in 2016 and has just evolved with the times since then. Reading and Leeds have a variant of it and put theirs to use in 2017. If you wanna see the evolution of it check this video. If you wanna see what Other could be like then check the other video below. Thats Outdoor theater which is Coachellas 2nd stage and equivelant to Other. But yeah, big screens and lots of room for production. at the 9 min mark of the above and beyond vid youll see drone footage of both stages going with their respective large crowds

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play.

They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
