I expect everything is on schedule but the amount that still needs to be done in 2 weeks is staggering! 

I've just been looking at this time on the Monday 2 weeks before the festival in 2019 and while there are certain things that seem to be ahead this year (pyramid sound desks and speaker/screen scaffs etc.), there are an awful lot behind on others.

Pretty much all the trackway was laid by this stage in 2019 and they'd already put the bins out.

The John Peel tent was going up

a lot more progress in Silver Hayes and the Beat Hotel marquee up

They'd started putting up the Tepees

While I'm sure they've got it under control, it does show there's still a huge amount of work to happen over the next couple of weeks. One thing I have noticed since I started writing this post, the bar marquees are starting to go up, is this the Bread and Roses or Cornish Arms?

Looking like they got them the wrong way round first time? Blue/white tent now in the rough position of the multicoloured one

[al_coholic]

Agreed, it looks like they are a long way behind at the moment. Hopefully they have got the people on site to pull this back in the next 2 weeks.

Do you think someone had the map upside down?

What are these? Possible repeaters for other stage?

It's also 4 days earlier than in 2019, so even further behind possibly. I'm sure they'll pull it out, well they have to.

Awesome if so, sound can be pretty terrible in that field

Anyone know what this cherry picker is up to? its been there for ages now. looks like there's a mast there but i cant imagine they'd rely on a cherry picker to hold it up for next month.

Looks like what’s on the 4th picture (might be for radio comms on the site)

Someone earlier said on site CCTV during the build, and maybe during.

After seeing the close up it looks more like a signal repeater, maybe for radios?

It was in that exact spot in 2019 so assume it is mobile phone mast or site comms tower as others have suggested

[Losing my hair]

Are we assuming that the blue/white tent is the new Stonebridge. From here it doesn't look any bigger - which was the rumour.

There is another one over near the SE corner as well, but not on the webcam

[Julesdude]

Hmmm...I'm not seeing that they're that behind, if at all. Arcadia haven't arrived but as the spider has toured quite a number of times now, the team would be well versed by now with putting it up quickly. Rest of the site looks more as it has done at this stage in previous years with this many days to go. I'd only say that Silver Hayes looks a bit empty.

It's certainly a different tent. 

 

[dotdash79]

Silver hayes main stage was in use this weekend just gone, so I would expect that to turn up this week.

Can confirm they're delay towers. 3 new companies working together on the acoustics this year, sound should be lot better across site.

First sighting of bins this year?

I find this so amusing, imagine when they worked it out someone must have been well pissed off that they hd to do it all again

The new Glade stage doesnt seem too BIG eh??
 

Surely they won’t have sides on it? Part of the greatness of the Glade was always how open it felt especially when it was under the tree’s.

Is that supposed to be the glade dome? Not very dome looking if so.
