General stench of cheese. I was just thinking about this at the same time. Spooky. esit: except the rubber bacon and foam chips.

buddiepaul Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 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?

Tr234 Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) 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 Edited May 24, 2017 by Tr234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

congyiszizu Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 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 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.

Crazyfool01 Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 The fence moving in the park combined with the anniversary must mean that a lot more is going on up there ? maybe moving some stuff so the stage gets a bigger capacity for a bigger act or two ? or some new stuff ?

billum Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Maybe there genuinely is a whole new area with a stage that can take significant bands - this is part of how they're putting on twice as many acts as normal, in EE's words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
