It's back!  But has been moved along the hedge a bit.  May have been hidden behind the tanker in your post.

Indeed! A scattering of activity.....

I feel like a tory MP looking at the webcam today!

Stacks and stacks of eco friendly generators ready to go, powered by cow dung and ley lines.....

Normally tents there, so either big changes or they're just laying something out there.

I had second thoughts and gave it back. But just wait until they go to look for the G off the Glastonbury sign😊😉

This looks like a speaker stand for Arcadia, but in a very different place to last year's festival?

You wouldn’t start the build with a speaker stand, they would normally be one of the last things to go in.

Looks like they are building another one a bit along.  I think it is, just, across the pathway from where the Park Home camping usually ends.  So if it is the start of Arcadia it could be a much bigger area than the previous circle around the Spider or Pangea

It needs to be as well, sound outside of the speaker circle is shocking and getting in there is nigh on impossible in my experience at peak times. Increasing the size of that 'inner circle' is long overdue.

Isn't the fact that you can't hear much outside the inner speaker circle the actual design and the only thing that lets it be a late night outside venue in that part of the site?

I think so yes, but making it a little bigger should still keep the sound contained I think (I'm no sound engineer but I'd imagine it would).

Apparently Arcadia this year is just a Bluetooth speaker in the middle of the field. Whoever gets there first gets to link up to their Spotify  

[al_coholic]

Surely they can't take back any more space from public camping. It's tough enough as it is inside the fence now

[Barneym]

I remember the sound for Pangea being much better than I’ve ever thought the Spider was, I’m sure someone here can answer but did they do different things with the speakers that year?

I know nothing at all about installing festival stages, much less Arcadia, but last year they built all of the the speaker stands first:

I wonder if they are moving Arcadia towards Oxylers to try and alleviate some of the bottleneck at the bottom of The Park. Get more people to Arcadia directly from the railway line. 

[Julesdude]

Radius of the outer speaker circle certainly needed to be increased. Hopefully they're having a rethink of it all and repositioning to help ease the congestion on that path junction near The Park entrance. 

[Cheesey]

Second speaker stand is up now. Looks to me like the size of the circle is probably the same, but the whole thing is shifted north west.

 

We need a 2024 map! 🙂 

[Julesdude]

Hope they have a rethink of The Park stage sound as well. Unless you're front of the mixing desk the sound is pretty muddy and unclear.

[Crazyfool01]

So potentially dropping down the field with maybe some of that camping being moved to top of field ? 

 

 

[Cheesey]

I don't think its position has changed enough to invert that field completely, but something is going to have to change with the camping.

 

Looks to me like it's moving about this much:

 

[Crazyfool01]

Maybe something like this 

 

[Julesdude]

With the three towers I can see put up already, looks to me like it's been considerably moved.
