It looks tiny! How many people can fit in there?

That's only one section of it. There were 3 or 4 platforms, with wooden walkways and steps between them. Only room for a few hundred, but a nice addition to the area! Edited by mr gumby

Inside the Arcadia production office. ...where I took a crew member of mine to pick up his Arcadia paperwork,,,,,,,,,, who is now going to be working for Arcadia as well as me. Bloody turncoat :)

Incidentally, there were a few core Arcadia folk in there and it seems that there is one unknown TBC for Arcadia, they didn't know who, but the feeling that it wasn't someone big. They didn't seem to think that there was an unannounced superstar DJ to surprise you.

It's The Spike, which is a great little stage & bar hidden in the trees near the Glade. Highly recommended, but it can get rammed!

Oh, I think I've been there actually, but only in the dark while drunk. I've definitely been on some kind of raised platform in the trees near the Glade anyway (just north of the railway next to the crossroads with Pennards). I vaguely remember there being a big disco ball in there.

Ah - that makes much more sense. I probably should have guessed there was more to it than that.

Time for coffee I think...

Yeah that's it - that pic is where the bands play, and as mentioned, the bars are on the other platforms just by. JJ Rosa is playing again on the Thursday this year, but don't tell anyone as it's secret. I know I can rely on you, you have a trustworthy face.

Planning to go to the farm again on Friday evening. With a bit of luck I'll be able to take a bit of a tour around so should get more pics.

Will try to remember to get up to the new Strummerville and Tor View to see what's going on there.

Yes please Mr S! Your pictures so far make me very very happy whenever I take a peek. The pyramid & arcadia spider pics are fantastic, and new Other stage looks astounding!

      Took my now 12 year old to old Trafford couple of years ago, for his 1st game. He fell asleep during the game, no replies needed. 😃   He is also a Wolves fan, my parenting skills are as good as Onana's goalkeeping skills.

      A few snaps from Sunday, which was huge fun, plus Happy Mondays, Radio Free Alice, Fratellis and Pale Waves. We didn't stay for The Streets, as after 3-4 songs it felt so downbeat compared to the rest of the day, and i've got another hectic week at work incoming.

      It was fine, just hectic! The youngsters were mostly very well-behaved. The weather was a real bonus, although surprisingly chilly evenings - I guess it's the altitude - and the area between sound and main stage was a massive dust bowl.

      Ive always had a lot of time for the mighty Shots, a pal of mine used to commentate on their games for Sussex Counties radio and he'd sneak me into the ground for midweek games, and we'd even nick a tea and a plate of sandwiches. This is back in the George Borg days, so um . . a little while ago now

      Tour Announcements & Upcoming Gigs

      Hmm, weird- Rush are playing the Co-Op live on the 12th and the 14th, and Megadeth are the meat in that sandwich - so they have to roll everything in, roll it out again, only to roll it back in and then out - here's hoping for a prog hokey-cokey with all manner of bizarre time signatures and drum solos!
