Saw that , leaning towards a new area/stage being this big announcement 

 

 

Fame at last

[CaledonianGonzo]

The Growler Stage - huge walk in Growler with a stage hosting all the Growler-esque bands - Courteeners, Circa Waves, Kaiser Chiefs, etc.  You stand on a big bouncy bit of rubber coloured like bacon and there are huge foam chips to clobber each other with.  General stench of cheese.

This thread in a nutshell.

Coincidence or what, been there since last September. Definitely big.

I was just thinking about this at the same time. Spooky.

esit: except the rubber bacon and foam chips.

Maybe the spoiler (visibility of the work being done form the webcam) ahead of the Radiohead headlining announcement has made them think about the information that can be seen on the webcam?

Well, well, well. The (giant, baby shaped) pieces may finally be coming together

[EamerRed]

Quick, what acts look like a giant baby? There can only be one answer.

[CaledonianGonzo]

 

[MetaKate]

Giant baby+arcadia=?

[SwedgeAntilles]

Well I for one welcome our giant baby overlords

As someone mentioned earlier, he could be talking about the new temple stage. It's only been talked about in these forums and this tweet suggests it as well.

Edit: There's your baby

I'm guessing there's no chance of getting into the farm for a little walk this close to the festival? 

Not much chance of a wander round the site.....but I'm off Friday so will go for a little drive round the lanes and peer through some hedges

It is a flyover. It's a new access road/path that goes over the top of the festival, the Glasto version of spaghetti junction as it goes in different directions. It is the obvious successor to the monorail

I don't think making The Temple a bit larger would qualify as much of a big secret, would it?

[congyiszizu]

hmmm... @sharpeofsharpe latest pic on twitter seems to show the perimeter fence has moved. Evidence that the official map released is indeed wrong (perhaps deliberately?)

I agree.  And we wouldn't be able to see the Temple on the webcam anyway, so it wouldn't justify turning it off.

I definitely think they released a dummy map. Think about all the talk of a line of stalls being removed from the right of the Other Stage following the Growler articles, yet that area doesn't change if you flick between last year's map and this year's.
