That would just be asking for trouble and a lot of people to turn up. maybe they are putting security on to stop people who want to go to the farm, didn’t they do that in 2018?

incident Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Don't remember if they did it before, but yeah that'd make more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinhead Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 I reckon that's a good guess and excited at the prospect even if it is a link from an empty load of fields.... Still, they are those fields aren't they! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephos83 Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 More activity this morning, some interesting vehicles that don't look particularly like farm vehicles or anything for construction (could be wrong though!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukeicon Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 They do look quite like outside broadcast lorries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did wonder if there will be some wee secret things going on at the site - and the "special guests" on that BBC line up poster - is that sets from previous years they cant confirm yet - or will there be some wee live things broadcast (this has probably been discussed elsewhere I assume?)

I just posted this in the BBC Glastonbury thread about the special guests. Quote Special Guest Slots are as follows Thu 25 - 21:00 - 23:30 (1 hour 30 mins) Sun 28 - 15:30 - 16:30 (1 hour) Mon 29 - 13:30 - 15:00 (1 hour 30 mins) So I would say that it's probably two headliners and one Sunday Legends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watsonjm Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Looks like a lot going on. If it is the BBC it would seem a lot of effort and outlay given there is nothing actually happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelts Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 There also seems to be some activity behind the trees where the cider bus normally sets up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northtim Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Third lorry incoming and lot of stuff going on in field near markets. Big part of Pymild filed fenced off. Summat is going on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - looks to me like there is a mini production village being set up there. Lots of grey portacabins with blue at the edges - these are normally interstage behind the Pyramid.

It would but i should think it would also lead to a lot of people seeing it on the telly and taking that as permission to all pile down there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauladam Posted June 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Do we think Pyramid might get dressed up for this? - Maybe in a wee gold number??? (I did wonder if that was on the cards from last year) I could send down some gold tinsel from the loft I guess to wrap around a bit of the frame?

Dukeicon Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 The One Show were supposed to celebrating Glastonbury this week, according to the original press release, but nothing has been announced yet. On Thursday Emily is joining Lauren Laverne on her 6 Music show and on Saturday Emily is joining Jo Whiley on her Radio 2 show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
