Am I right, the new JP field is the old Cinema field?

Correct.

Then the petition to show The Goonies on the JP screens starts here.

I remember looking for you in there one year in the 90s by shouting "fuck it, have a bucket"

Didn't work.

Great news about Arcadia, it was a bit cramped around there last year at times.

I was looking at it wrong - it seems to have lost a bit of space. Surprising, and bad, news.

Plenty of time for map revisions.

And here is the comparison with last year:

Thanks for doing this Sir R.  Gutted to see Woodsies has gone, have camped there for years.  Gonna have to come up with a new plan....

It looks like the Spider itself is more central though? Which should mean more room either side than last year.

Not sure the map is geographically correct enough to make such judgement.

Ah yes. More space in Wicket Ground family camping, but they may not be of much interest if not a family.

Are you sure? They posted on FB the other day about having less space this year. 

[Joshuwarr]

I imagine Arcadia probably hasn't really changed much at all. It's probably what is around it that has.

Yup, one of the best love songs ever. 

EDIT - And my favourite song about maps

Must remember not to use John Peel stage as a way to navigate to Gate A this year then! 

Did think that side of the festival site was getting a bit over crowded, and with the different access through to the pyramid these look like good moves all round 

[TentOnFire]

Looks like the dark grey out of bounds area around the Park stage has shrunk, leaving the stage sticking out.

I'm guessing that's just inaccurate, can't get my head around how that would work, or why.

There's a section below them that was hospitality but now looks like it's part of family. On the other hand, they've lost a patch to the west.

That was my initial reaction, but the problem with the previous layout wasn't the amount of room, so much as nobody would go round the other side. By putting the toilets on the far side, it looks as though they're trying to encourage more people to be naturally standing all round the tent.

But it does look more cramped.

Fired up Google Earth to check 

area of old JP mesured up to where camping areas start = 13492m²

Area of new JP/ old cinema filed (excluding back stage area as marked on map) = 16583m²

1. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps
2. R.E.M. - Maps & Legends
3.The Twilight Sad - Mapped By What Surrounded Them

[_Catman_]

With James Murphy being there and no doubt 2manydj's will be too, I was hoping there might be an extra tent that could turn out to be Despacio but it doesn't look like that's the case. Shame I had one of the best nights of my life in that tent.

Paines and Dairy have completely switched places, do they have the power to just do that ?!

The shifting bar pint glasses have hypnotised me, like they're having their own little party before we get there, damn them!

Yeah, I was just checking your gif (great work btw!) and it looks like they've got at least as much room. But they definitely posted that they were losing some space. Probably shouldn't be looking to this map for too much accuracy.
