No ! In summary it just seems to be taking forever to arrive … although earlier someone commented that it had a 4 day setup time … so we’ve still got plenty of time

Phew.

Where do we think it's going to go though....there doesn't seem enough space in front of the field facing Other Stage, but then I can't remember if the positioning allows a full 360 circumnavigation?? 🤔

Ah right....pretty certain she'll go where that scaffold rig seems to be in front of the field then?

Thanks, @Cheesey! I actually really love the way that the annual build is not always exactly the same in terms of what goes up when, influenced of course by stuff arriving from other events. And I don't use the time-lapse thingy from previous years. But JPT feels really late this year! Especially when those aerial shots from yesterday show the SEC pretty much built. I guess JPT is one influenced by the actual hardware being elsewhere until it's available.

Looking back, it went up on June 13 in 2019, 13 days before the gates opened, so if it does go up today it'll be exactly one week later than 2019 👍

In 2017 it went up exactly one week before gates opened, so about the same as this year.

If you look back to the 2017 webcam it gets put up in 1 day and only appeared on the Thursday before the festival, no need to panic just yet.
