New Emily Eavis Interview in this weeks NME

[Grrmunky]

Quickly scanned thru it and she confirmed that there will be a new Other Stage this year (rectangular rather than dome like) she also confirmed that Joe Rush has created some sculptures to adorn it.

There were a few other things she said, like confirming the woodland glade area and a few other bits and bobs

That is good news. Clearly GFL paid close attention to our "least favourite area" thread

[sheffieldlady]

Brilliant news about The Other Stage! Hoping it gets a bit of life injected into it!

[The60ftOctopus]

That explains the new Other Stage icon on the map then! Exciting times.

[Spindles]

That really is great news. I wonder if they've gone for one of the setups like they use at Download and more recently Reading.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Is The Spike coming back this year?

I didn't get a chance to check it out last year.

Certainly hope so! Great little area, can't think why they wouldn't have it again. Not on the map yet though afaict Edited May 13, 2015 by billum

Is this years map out then old bean?

[Badlands]

Was by the Glade

The space inspired place that sold pizza? Or that bit up the stairs? I went to both during the day but there was little going on.

I never really give the Glade enough credence as an evening venue, I need to change that. Mind I've fond memories of walking into one of the areas round there after Chic to find that Bangface evening going on. Utterly mental.

"The new Spike area will be back and extended in 2015 with more secret gigs and special tipples in store. Spaceport and Lounge are going to feature again too – louder later longer"

Certainly hope so! Great little area, can't think why they wouldn't have it again. Not on the map yet though afaict

After a half bottle of tequila the Spike felt like visiting Lothlorien.

[JoeyT]

I spent a lot of time in the spike on the Thursday when it was raining. In fact we were propping up the bar for so long the barman started giving us free drinks.

[Pinhead]

Was not sure whether I liked The Spike last year or not. Felt a bit like a bar in a holiday resort somehow (without the sun).

[Smash1984]

Anyone got a link?

Ah the spirit of Worthy Farm in one sentence

Here's a sped-up tour of the area in 9 seconds - pretty similar to the average festival-goer's memory :-)
