That was my main takeaway from those pics as well. Practically the entire arena woodchipped!

I also noticed something I didn't see on the webcam before:

 

 

These things weren't there last year. I wonder if they're related to the mysterious towers...

[Garrypp]

are these lights on each repeater tower too?

Confirmation that the new arcadia dragon fly isnt going to be entirely front facing. Looks like you're going to be able to surround it..

[Badgeraudio]

Looks to be lighting. 

 

[Cheesey]

They've certainly had stage blinders and even lasers on the repeaters in previous years, but I don't remember seeing lights quite like these before.

They were used last year.  They'll be jacked up to the top of the pillar.   Without checking time machine it think they've been used since they replaced the 3 story central sound tent

I was thinking that as well. While the crowd can surround most of it - the back, toward the cam is blocked - it looks like a really tight squeeze on the left. I wonder why they didnt put it more to the center of the field

Seems really odd to put it there. Maybe there will be outward facing speaker on one side. Or maybe its to reduce bleed to other stages. Or the ground in the middle is too soft to support the structure. Who knows!

Some beautiful dust on the webcam at the moment.

If I was to guess I'd say to mitigate the crush at the bottom of the Park entrance into the field a la 2023. Moving it further down into that corner will move the crowd crust down there too and hopefully give a bit more space for people coming in and out.

All these lights and stuff in Pyramid field must be Dua's Disco Party?

Okay... why? 

[Staberinde]

Did I miss something?

 

[Pinhead]

Maybe just cos it looks so beautiful.

Thought I’d seen some pyramid lighting … might have been that I was knackered and looking at my phone
