Dukeicon Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 5 minutes ago, Skelts said: So those big-ass trailers, inside the heras fencing - are they hospitality type things normally seen in the back stage area for artists? With maybe a production suite round near where the cider bus goes? Is that the general thinking? And is Taylor a serious proposition, or just a pipe-dream? They are portacabins (they get taken off the trailers) and are used for many things, from site offices to artist dressing rooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 How long does the pyramid take to get dressed ? ... I reckon they can do that in a couple of days ... eyes open for cherry picker action ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon they can do that in a couple of days ... eyes open for cherry picker action ... It takes quite a while for the stage to be built. And given there's a special guest on the bill in two days, I don't think the Pyramid is going to be dressed. Unless they performed on the grass? If it is getting dressed, it would have to start right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrokenDown Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 If Coldplay manage to headline the festival the year that wasn’t even meant to be a festival it would amuse me greatly. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were scheduled to do something this week in the original press release but as of now, nothing has been released as to what they are doing and they have shows on Thursday & Friday.

Also have just noticed on the information about the 3 shows on BBC Two at 8pm, they all say about live acoustic sets, so it si most probably that those 3 shows are coming live from the farm. BBC Two - Friday "Jo Whiley and Mark Radcliffe celebrate the weekend that would have marked 50 years of the Glastonbury Festival with an inviting blend of great performances from the archives and live acoustic sets from contemporary artists." BBC Two - Saturday "Clara Amfo and Lauren Laverne present a jam-packed show celebrating Glastonbury Festival on the weekend that would have marked its 50th year. Tune in for highlights from the festival’s musical vaults, a special live acoustic performance from a contemporary artist and a reminder of one of the unique performances that have happened in the BBC’s Glastonbury studio over the years." BBC Two - Sunday "Clara Amfo and Lauren Laverne present a musical journey celebrating the weekend that would have marked 50 years of the Glastonbury Festival with an inviting blend of great performances from the archives and the odd live acoustic set from contemporary artists dropping in."

Maybe similar to their big weekend lineup Unlikely there will be any "A grade" artist there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good spot. That'll be it then. Out of upvotes today, sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting a bit more than BBC Introducing. Maybe not "A Grade", but probably a little better than you seem to be suggesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
