I would say, and this could just be reading something into nothing - it does feel like they've surrounded the Pyramid with a bit more Heras on all sides than they would normally at this point just for putting on the covers. With plenty more stacked up nearby ready to use.

It's getting confusing why they show up at the start of the day, then bugger off with nothing happening.

It could just be a convenient place to meet. There's room to park up, discuss what jobs need doing and then head off to do them.

Having said that, the cheery picker is up again.

There has been some heras there for months, which was surrounding the new sound desk trenches.

Looks like on Sat 25 March they expanded this further.

What I can’t quite work out is why the covers sit there for a few days before they dress her … it’s not like they are being dried out or ironed 

Maybe they’re scared of all the creepy crawlies that are hidden in the covers

The high heights team might not be there to fix it, so the others in the team lay it out ready, would save time on the day 🙂

cant really see much going on thats noticeable though .... just looks like a bit of mud below the pyramid 

They have been digging in the trenches, yesterday and today, so until that's done you wouldn't put the cover up, i expect that to be done this week with the covers on next week. Long drops should start coming out soon

As the veteran of my Glastonbury WhatsApp, group I told everyone that they will have definitely started on the covers by Tuesday but I now just look foolish. My aura as the wise old sage of our gang has definitely disappeared!

    • Well he is on a rape charge, don't see that one as controversial.   
    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band.
