When do we normally get the map?

[ProperTea]

In recent years I've actually gotten more excited when the festival map is released than first line up poster, noticing what's different and new.

Can anyone remember when the map has been released in previous years, if there's any patterns in released dates etc?

[drchickenburger]

I am actually more excited for this than the line up reveals. I haven't been since 2009 so want to see what's what. And see where I'll be camping seen as my old spot seems to have been swallowed up by Arcadia these days.

Last year it was 19th of April, but there weren't any significant changes from 2014.

A copy of last year's map appeared on my Timehop a couple of days ago which made me hopeful that this year's would arrive this week at some point.

What are the major changes we are expecting? I know the John Peel Stage is being shifted but do we know just how far / to where?

[verrymerry]

I love maps and I was probably far too excited about being given a detailed one from an info point in 2007 (having only seen the one in the fine guide), it was wonderful

Come on GFL!

The map I like is the one you can get at the info points, very detailed, just black and whit and a smidgen of colour, I still look at th m today. Cant wait to see how the new JP area is laid out, and what they put in its place

Yeah same, it's so detailed! I was very excited to discover the badger set on it, and just in general that there were road names

This map from last year is a bit more detailed.

Yeah it's so great, found it by accident when searching for a map from 05 to prove another poster here was wrong about something, spent ages looking at it and then couldn't be bothered with the proving wrong thing, glad you both like it.

Not a lot has changed at first glance.  John Peel has moved a little

[Divein]

Biggest change for me is the 2nd exit out of the dance village between sonic and wow 

 

should seriously cut down on the huge crowds going in and out of the dance village towards the other.

Also means less sound bleed from the two stages 

[k8yphillips]

This was not on the 2015 map 

[joeh]

Will the wooded area be accessible next to the John Peel?

Yes there's a light installation going in there according to Emily and there's a path through it 

[Junglist1981]

Paths in the woods are the same as before I think? Was always a wierd part of the festival to accidentally end up in, should be much cooler with the lights and that. 

Quite a bit of camping lost around John Peel... Worried how that's gonna affect my nice peaceful and spacious Darble spot.

That's a pretty big change in terms of the layout, also removes one of Silver Hayes tents, can't quite remember the name Despacio?

Nah that wasn't there last year, it just goes through the gap between wow and sonic
