Glastocam!

Looks like they have started building the Other Stage. The fence will be soon I reckon, that's when I really start to think things are moving on. Usually starts above Strummerville out of view doesn't it, then works it's way across above the Crows Nest/ Park Stage. I reckon we will start seeing it on the webcam from this Thursday... place your bets folks when we first get sight of it on the webcam.....

Hope they have a camera up there for some good site photos :) 

My mate is leaving for the farm in a minute. Gonna keep an eye out for him on the Glastocam.

He’s taking his drone*

 

*Its a proper surveying drone, is restricted to the maximum height setting (120m? Although it has a 4km Range in all directions), he has all the CAA software and the apps that provide you with live no-fly area updates, etc.

 

If he’s able to take any videos / photos I’ll post them here.

There’s no way he’d try and use it if he’s not allowed - but I’ve got my fingers crossed.

minor point Woffy, the webcam is restircted in angle because of it potentially overlooking peoples houses.  Your mates drone won't be and that may cause some angst if it is seen, which it will be.

I guess you’re right, of course. He may not have taken any footage. All I have seen so far are photos - which i’ve stuck on Twitter (usual farm walkabout touristy shots) - so chances are he hasn’t used it.

With the cement trucks that have been seen over the last few weeks, it seemed pretty clear they were putting foundations in, this confirms it. Makes it sound like it's going to be rather substantial.

Yes or big things that are not freestanding, like the spider was. I just can’t even think of what they’ve thought up to visually replace that!

If foundations have gone down, does that mean planning permission would have been sought?

 

Not suggesting the new installation will be permanent, but the foundations will be?

Plenty of things that still aren’t clear... 

What are all the trucks doing up near PGA?

What on earth are Arcadia up to?

Where are the Pyramid’s speaker/video racks going to fit in?

When will we get first sight of the fence?

Everything about the pier!

It’s a great time to be alive ?

As a working farm, they also have the right to erect "agricultural buildings" of a certain size without planning permission. Which was the legal dodge used to build the 80s/90s version of the Pyramid Stage despite complaints.

Glastonbury needs a license for the sale of alcohol and also has an Event Management Plan - see link

I'm sure I remember seeing some sort of planning application for Carmageddon.

    • As many said before, not my favourite Primavera. sh*tty weather is something I'm not really used to when enjoying music. Poor communication (more than 1 hour long radio silence during the worst rain) didn't help, but the main problem was me. I decided to leave the venue after things seemed to be getting back to normal. Massive Attack were supposed to play again (with Hymn of the Big Wheel back on the setlist!) as were all other artists on the smaller stages (including Fcukers with one my favourite albums of the year). FOMO was at an all-time high. However, after 4 hours in the rain, I had to admit to myself that I'm not cut out for this. I wasn't even that soaked (water-proof jacket worked). I was just fed up with the rain, wind and cold and wasn't able to enjoy music anymore.   Also, they should stop ignoring the growth of some artists between signing them up and their actual performing. Both PinkPantheress and Ninajirachi sets were ruined for me by completely inadequate stage choice.   However, I felt very much the same way after the 2022 edition and have thoroughly enjoyed all subsequent editions. So I'm still buying early bird tickets for 2027 and hoping this was a hiccup not the start of a downward trend.
    • I will definitely be buying a 2027 early bird pass, partially because of the priority reservation privileges for the Ciutat sets. Hopefully the organization will take action to improve upon this year's failings. Because I thought the free water options and sound quality were an improvement over last year, so clearly they can actually implement positive changes.   I also hope all the douchebag chompers get in the sea, cause I was more bothered by them than in the past few years.   Highlights: The Cure, Ninajirachi, Knocked Loose, Current 93, Blood Orange.    
    • Similar feelings to a few others on here. Not my personal favourite edition but a long way from giving up on it. Felt overcrowded at times and there are just too many people there that don't seem to like music that much! Hardly went to main stages which was the plan. Highlights Ralphie Choo, rusowsky, Gorillaz, Geese, Gelli Haha, The Sophs, PinkPantheress, Dijon. Accommodation booked for next year. Thanks for your company and comments over the past year.
