Tor View Look Out

[hurdy]

Anyone know what this stage is? It's on the line up but I can't find any trace of it on a search?

[musky]

It's new for this year, so unless anyone has inside info we're all in the dark.

[hurdy]

Taking over from The Crows Nest?

[Bradders]

Unless they've changed the name recently, the Crows Nest still exists. Stealing Sheep said on 6music that they were playing it.

Pete Fowler plays quite a substantial role in the Crows Nest and I've seen him mention it a few times on various social media.

I reckon that's just a hammock related structure, there's no space for a stage

It says "see the festival from a new perspective" and is called "tor view lookout"

I reckon anywhere inside the fence isn't a new perspective, but a view from the tor would - I think it's shuttle bussings to the Tor.

It's right at the top of the field above the park, and to the right, so even higher up than the crows nest - you can see it in the latest panorama pic that Mr and Mrs F kindly posted

There also some discussion about it in the "new venue above the rabbit hole" thread

It's here:

Watch the linked video & you'll see that structure you have circled is not the Tor View Lookout.

[5co77ie]

yup in the Theatre & Circus Area

[5co77ie]

It's here:

Nope I think that's the new BBC lookout not Tor View

[mr gumby]

It's here:

Nah, that's not the Tor View. It is new, though, Emily Eavis tweeted about it a week or two back. Not sure if it'll just be a relaxation area, or for performances. Tor View is definitely by gate C, somewhere around where Mutoid Waste were last year I think.

The thing I circled is this though, right?

Have we decided that's not Tor View?

Oh oh! You have made a Torrible mistake! Hold on to your hat as you are in for a Torid time now!!

[Cheesey]

So it's this thing?

Is that outside the fence - i.e. part of Worthy View? I don't see anything like it on the webcam. Judging from the views on the video you'd be able to see it clearly on the webcam if it were inside the fence, surely?

Yes this is the Tor View Lookout.

It's not in the web cams view, it's far over to the left by pedestrian gate C, which is not covered by the web cam.

Weird, because in the video they suggest this is the view from it:

And that is clearly from a position up near Worthy View. I'm guessing the video is wrong.
