Better to be ahead of any potential bad weather than trying to catch up. 
 

also if it’s dry the dust it kicks up gives a magical view of the late evening pyramid stage on tv.

They can put it down really quickly though. With no bad weather on the horizon I don't get them doing it so early when it possibly won't be needed.

Not sure why they kept getting so excited with the woodchip the last couple of years in good weather. It's hardly like it's the stuff you get in kids play areas either, you could probably build houses with it. Really annoying to walk on. 

 

It's literally been construction waste too in the last few years.  Actually surprised they've got away with it.

 

There has been wood with nails sticking out of it.

Just like any project management, that man power will most likely be needed closer to the festival when the pace picks up. They are doing other tasks whilst they wait for that final rush.

I suspect why they have put woodchip down is to discourage people sitting down that close to the stage. I wasn't there in 2023, but wasn't one of the big issues with the elton john crowd was that there loads of people sitting down until he came on?

Ah, could make sense.  I just wondered if it was a public area I hadn't been to before.  Cool looking crew bar, if that's what it is 🙂 

Yea it’s a good one, probably the most pub-by of all the staff bars. They had tvs to watch the euros last year. Plus nice canteen

    • All of these were published in July of their respective year. Appreciate the festival is a little later than normal but it must surely be live in the next 48 hours? The first events start in five days! 🤣
    • Took the words out of my mouth. He never misses.   Definitely adds fuel to the fire.
    • Gavin Leigh Davis on Instagram, the Fabrizio Romano of tour leaks, says Sam Fender outdoor shows and likely festivals next year. Didn't explicitly mention Glastonbury but adds more to the rumour
    • I think a lot of you guys don't see Tate McRae as headliner material however she was originally billed to play back in 2025 and had to pull out (https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/glastonbury-2025-headliners-revealed-tickets-line-up-1235915362/). She sold out out all of her arena shows in 2025 and just brought in huge crowds at Oshega and Lollapalooza. Given that she's gearing up to release the second album it lines her up for a tour run in her same gap as she's usually over here over Glaso weekend. I wouldn't rule her out. 
    • I’d expect U2 & Muse to be options too.
