The only thing that appears new is the Bunkabins front and centre, and that could be for any number of reasons - such as the spare accommodation at the farmhouse being held for Emily's Ukrainian friends, or just that usually they're located out of view.

Bunkabins were spotted arriving on the back of a lorry in 2019 but I don't think we ever saw where they went, so probably just a location change.

Hazy activity where the pier would be

Screen towers are up over a month earlier than 2019. So with that, more equipment being bought in and the screen towers have been beefed up - has to be a major upgrade to the screens?

Towers were up by this time in 2017 so that in itself doesn’t mean there’ll be much difference. The screens themselves don’t normally go up until last minute along with the PA and lighting and that.

I guess in general they probably just crack on with jobs as and when they can. Some years the requisite kit will arrive on site earlier or later than others. Weather might delay things or bring things forward etc

You're right! Here's another screenshot from the same video.

Probably a stupid question, but how far down into the ground do the vertical supports go and would it be a case of drilling down fresh holes (you can tell I have no clue with this shit) every year?

Think the Ribbon Tower is about to make an appearance as well...

I don't know but knowing this thread it won't be long before we know so much that we'll even know what the driver of it had for tea last night.

Yep, looks like it's parked up near G-o-S.

I don’t want to know whose diving into the long drops to find out. 
 

That’s got me on a bizarre train of thought. I’ve never been on site early, are the long drops completely bone dry to start with or is there a some water in there right at the start for dilution purposes.

Just in case anyone isn't border to tears by pyramid screen speculation yet, I'm really busy at work so obviously I just spent some time doing this instead...

2019

2022

2019 + 2022

So almost identical in size. Certainly the exact same height, maybe a metre wider at most 🙂

I would of used 2017 for a cleaner comparison but I can't get the images up on the archive anymore?

Dunno about everyone else but I hope that if there are new screens they aren't too big, they will distract from the majesty of the surroundings etc. You could be stood in a field looking at ginormous overbearing screens anywhere.

I have so much work to do lol

Looking at the site right now, it's incredible to think what they have left to set up in fifty days

In some cases they still have 53 days

They are empty apart from rainwater

I’ve been peripherally involved in quite a few big events for work - more trade shows and such than anything on the scale of Glastonbury! - and I’ve always been amazed at how close to the wire they get with the set up. Often still looks like a construction site just hours before opening but somehow it all comes together.

I’d never be able to cope with the stress, but total respect to events professionals - genuine miracle workers. 😁

What's the most anticipated webcam milestone still to come?

Ribbon tower getting its hat on has to be up there...

It's crazy. From what you can see on the camera alone, it looks like 90% plus of the festival left to setup. That's why I'd love to see a multi-part documentary covering all aspects of the festival build-up

I’d volunteer to film it. And the take down too. If I have to stay on site between then they’ll have to give me a ticket

One of those trailers near the pyramid has now been loaded up with something, can’t quite see if it’s the fence 

I reckon that's more proof to the theory that those trailers are used to accept delivery from 'normal' road going lorries, then they are pulled around the site by 'mud loving go anywhere' tractors or cabs to drop off at different locations.

 

[leath02]

100% some fence related action... even if just clearing of bushes...

[Crazyfool01]

so just catching up .... those lorries parked to RH side of pyramid behind the hedge all had trackway or flooring in  them I presume ? including the curtain sider thats open now ? the one closest the hedge might be a generator ? it looks somewhat different .... although ive already got this wrong once ... visibility should start improving now id hope
