I concur, it gets packed but still able to sit in a circle and have the first beer of the day then it's location is suitable for a shorter walk on the way back from most late night venues.

Beat me to it. Not sure if you see referring to Pennard or Oxlyers... I camp in Oxlyers and whilst it can be busy we've never had a problem getting our tents together and being able to sit in a circle and have some drinks. I know it doesn't have the best reputation on the forum but I've never had any trouble and love the location.

If you go to the back fence of Oxlyers then you'll always find space.

i love it

The Pyramid installation is a relatively recent thing. With the deaths of so many legends over the last year, I shouldn't think they'll be doing it. 

They started when the Stones played, IIRC.  It was nothing to do with deaths then. No reason they won't do something this year and given the other stage has something would be odd if the pyramid didn't.

So like 4 years ago? It's been associated with great acts that are live on stage. Since the last Glasto many great names associated with GF have passed away. Reckon it would be disrespectful to single out a performer this year  

If it's going to be anything, my money is on the CND sign.

Think you're overthinking it

Saw this on page 3, what's going on! Still many things to be finished on site...such as....

Cherry picker action in front of the Pyramid this morning.....perhaps something going up on top....?!

No big tellies yet on pyramid or other, though they still have a few days and I expect Jumbotrons (do they still get called that?) are hired by the day so they'll be a last minute job.

Looks like most of the food stalls are in place, I can almost taste 'em.

Just got to get through another day at work.

Does it look like a new path going through the field behind the large farm sheds next to Gate A? I'm sure that's normally just fenced off but it looks like there's been a pathway being marked out? I can't zoom in on my PC to have a look? New Security queuing arrangements?

If my memory serves me right, that fenced area is staff car parking, they have/had a few stewards on the gate at the top to check you have the correct parking ticket etc.

BBC Introducing going up!  No sign of Flagtopia yet - is that a permanent fixture?

Was there in 2015, not in 2016.

I think we've seen the last of Flagtopia, sadly...

I think that with all of the new innovations, areas and expansions, something had to give.

I thought it was because they have a bonfire on that field now so they can't have the flags

Shame - it would have provided some welcome shade tomorrow!

    • Audrey Hobert getting a lot of traction lately and new single on Friday. Wonder if she could be round next summer.
    • Think Pulp are optimistic, not in terms of size but just that they've been on the road (albeit not intensively) for 3 years in a row and it feels like EotR is the deliberate end of the cycle.   Would be fairly surprised if they're active next year.
    • 👍 plus they brought their own screens 📺 either side of the stage.
    • Production was the only thing that could even explain why she would back out. Like they had sorted out the financials and she was fine with it and then a production meeting happened. It all fell apart. It was very clear that she was not going to compromise her show one bit and then that show in Brazil pretty much confirmed it. There was like one element they couldnt pull off outdoors, but it was negligible since the rest was a carbon copy of the tour she had been on. Glasto is not willing to make any bold changes on the Pyramid stage so then theyre kinda stuck in terms of what some acts want/demand. I think the easiest solution to that is putting her on Friday. You deal with the changes for one night and then re configure for the rest of the weekend. In 24 they were fortunate to have had Dua and Coldplay on Fri and Sat so they could both use the b stage. But I think it was removed for Sunday?     I saw a random rag article earlier that said Olivia Dean turned down Glasto BECAUSE her ex ( not even confirmed dating ) Harry Styles was playing the fest. hahahaha
