Junglist1981 Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Maaaaybe… I still think there’s not much extra room on the right where the fence goes round the corner a bit. Also they’re not completely flat structures, they have the diagonal supports out the back. Might they be slightly wider, and also slightly lower? Hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just hoist them up the towers so aren’t fixed behind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those line arrays (the speaker stacks) probably have operational requirements in terms of space around/behind them for both airflow and cabling. They are also monstrously powerful and there's likely to be vibration management issues and interaction issues between them and the screens (they'll each probably have a pair of bloody great big magnets in), so it's not totally clear you could just inflate the screens to take up the free space, but there is definitely is space there and there's probably space to increase the footprint, too.

broken monkey Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 The bigger issue is that I believe the towers are connected to existing concrete foundations. This is a pic I took in November 2017 which shows the footings. Unless these have been replaced/updated in recent years, I think the frames will at least be the same width.

Deaf Nobby Burton Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 I don’t think it’s beyond the wit of man to put bigger screens on the Pyramid stage if that’s ultimately want they want to do. I think the world has seen bigger engineering feats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are blocks of concrete sitting on the ground, not footings per se. Can easily be moved with plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEGABOWL Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Re.the screens. I wonder if it’s something to do with Macca.

I can't recall if the bigger ones were hiked up higher than normal but it was quite windy so they were only pulled up for the performance.

dotdash79 Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Looks like heavy vehicles where the shooting club is, potentially staging being dropped off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartbert two hats Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 That fucking shooting club certainly got their revenge on me at Worthy Pastures for years of interrupting the peace at the festival. I was trying to enjoy the tranquil countryside in the morning, but oh no "bang bang bang bang bang bang bang..." for hours. It was like listening to Baldrick's WWI poetry.

Deaf Nobby Burton Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 So both the left and right ‘goal posts’ are laid out in front of the Pyramid now, with the right hand side laid at 90 degrees. They definitely appear to be a different configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trackway or fencing I reckon. More likely trackway because why would the super fence be dropped off at the Pyramid? Looks like the same livery on the truck as the one which was delivering trackway/fencing the other day, as described by @pilton digger.
