Do you think that once the Easter weekend is out of the way there will be a rise in activities, obviously there's a big church going community and wonder if they just hold off so not to upset the locals too much seeing as there's a few that aren't in favour of the festival as it is . 

I'd like to know why there is "obviously" a big church going community, I've never seen one here. Activity has nothing to do with any god stuff or imaginary friends,  and it hasn't anything to do with "upsetting the locals". Not sure why people keep on about locals not being in favour etc etc etc. not relevant and not even particularly true.

 

the main rise in activity is after the first may bank holiday, in April the trackway guys will start checking the culverts and fence prep, they will start chucking the fence up after that.  The pyramid was dressed early last year because ME was hosting a farming awards where he had won a gong.  They skinned the pyramid for the presentations and pictures.

I think 20 years ago pilton was a lot more religious & anti festival than the average villager now, as the videos on YouTube tend to suggest, see: Goode vs Eavis, I think that's why people still have that impression

A misty start to the day but it looks like there's some action by the Pyramid Stage.

Looks like they are just shifting the piles of hardcore that seem to have been dug up from trench across front of the Pyramid...and delivering more concrete blocks...for what I don't know.

there may not be a quite as big a church following as there used to be but I guarantee its a dam site bigger than where I live and I'm pretty sure theres still opposition from some locals around there (rightly or wrongly ). Either way the worlds largest festival walks straight through piltons front door so I was just querying wether they take Easter in to cosideration and the locals too before the fun and games begin ! Sorry if I touched a nerve it wasn't my intention.

Does anyone know how to access the archive of images? You used to be able to get them from any point in time, but that doesn't seem to be possible anymore.

You can edit the URL here: 

https://panodata2.panomax.com/cams/879/2015/06/07/21-00-00_default.jpg

The format is 

https://panodata2.panomax.com/cams/879/yyyy/mm/dd/hh-mm-00_default.jpg

The hours/minutes appear to be in 15 minute blocks during they daytime then...less than that at night.

For example here is 27th June at 2:15pm

Ah, I hadn't clocked that they were less frequent at night. I tried to get the sunset on the 1st March, but could only find this:

    • I have no issue with the Primavera crowd in most respects. They’re always friendly, respectful and no hint that there could be trouble at any point.   However…the talking is horrific here. The xx was pretty much ruined for me due to people having conversations with their mates the whole way through. Noticed it from all different nationalities across the weekend…English, Irish, Spanish etc. There seems to be no understanding of the nuances of when it’s okay to talk and when it isn’t. And obviously the sound being quiet at a lot of spots on the main stages exacerbates the issue. That alone has made me reconsider whether I will be coming back, it would probably take a lineup as good as this year (unlikely)

    • I found the vibe a little different to recent editions.. definitely an older crowd, less queer, less Spanish.. certainly has something to do with the lack of Glastonbury this year. And I felt Saturday was a little overcrowded. I‘ve never seen Mordor as full as last night for the xx and Gorillaz. Did not enjoy that too much.
    • Not my favourite year either, despite liking the lineup more than previous years. Not sure what it was, I guess Thursday really put the brakes on things. But yeah I'll be back next year hopefully. And maybe Massive Attack will return... 
    • E-mail summarizing Saturday - Primavera Sound 2026 Journal Day 3. As in previous days, it's going to be on the website soon, I think.
