Alvoram Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 1 hour ago, circus92 said: Good spot! Definitely bigger - taller and also seems a lot deeper. Also notice the screen supports have 3 supports now so maybe bigger screens as well? Deeper, not wider... Looks like it's still the TZ roof, but with 6 towers instead of 4.

Yep - the angle of the pic makes it look at first like the whole stage is a lot wider but the roof is clearly the same width as previous. It is quite a bit deeper though and also seems a bit taller as well. Definitely a significantly bigger stage.

Might allow a massive increase in hanging weight for more complex stages, also the deep stage might allow for a faster turnaround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TZ system is advertised as being modular, with the possibility of 'any depth.' Last year's was 100% a four tower version, (says so in Serious Stage's case study.) And this looks to be a 6 tower variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Chris Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 Images on the webcam tonight are lovely. Forecast is the area is in for a good spell of dry weather, ideal for the build especially with all the movement of heavy vehicles. Should keep the ground in good nick.

dingbat2 Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 Fuck, fuck, fuck.... Nothing gets me more excited for Glasto than the drop of the map, the start of the fence build and the Pyramid stage getting its party dress on. I thought I was coping well with missing out on tickets this year but clearly not. Not going to lie, I am getting more and more jealous every day now of all you lucky golden ticket holders Have fun everybody! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiggy553 Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 Unless it was basically cost neutral I’m not sure what the point of making Other stage bigger is - the acts haven’t got any bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
