Coachella. Thats the current version with the main PA raised above the screens so it obscures nothing. First version of their all screen stage  debuted in 2016 and has just evolved with the times since then. Reading and Leeds have a variant of it and put theirs to use in 2017. If you wanna see the evolution of it check this video. If you wanna see what Other could be like then check the other video below. Thats Outdoor theater which is Coachellas 2nd stage and equivelant to Other. But yeah, big screens and lots of room for production. at the 9 min mark of the above and beyond vid youll see drone footage of both stages going with their respective large crowds

 

 

 

 

 

 

I appreciate that they couldn't do it for the whole other stage crowd area, but R&L Chevron stage https://www.specialstructures.com/projectlibrary/chevron would be ideal for The Prodigy on the Sunday.

so they really have the structure to do this? Doesnt look like it to me. Also if youre doing this then the screens better be 4k capable also

Personally I think this looks hideous. Would much rather a more modest stage and screens and be able to see trees, hills and the tops of other stages/tents. As long as the sound is good, I'm not really fussed about jumbo screens.

That’s the new glade tent it’s  shifted about a bit this year . Intrigued what it will look like as it seems really close to the bar in the trees

yeah. It does its job really well. ive said it before when its come up about the set up at Pyramid and such, but its hard to keep the people in the back engaged if they legit cannot see whats happening. Its a fact if youre not in the front standing area you will see nothing at all due to the flags and have to rely on the screens. Figure out a way to take those out of the equation and the ones far away might have a better time.  One of the most recent examples was Justice. Which would seem more engaging to you if youre there. I would like to see the actual stage, but thats just me

Fence is usually finished by the first few days of June, minus a few bits up by Mikes house where certain landowners refuse to have it up until the week or so before. the the crew usually end up helping elsewhere on site

you don’t get a free/guest ticket as part of the deal?

Me? Or the crew? They usually do end up with a ticket each, but it’s not guaranteed and the bosses take the guest tickets 

In fact one year, the crew had to vacate their cabins so that the head office bosses could come and stay in them during the festival, and got them back after

You and the fence builders!

the fence builders will end up with tickets no doubt, it doesnt happen til the festival is nearly there though i guess so no one scarpers before the work is complete

Pillars in Greenpeace are the Greenpeace stage. I think we commented on them last year when it was a new stage set up.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
