"Really big secret"

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.

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?

That's just the Cheese Sandwich Stage mate.

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

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.

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

She says it's rather than they're or he/she. So my guess is a flyover. Red Arrows maybe.

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.

the official map has the fence position changed on it:

Maybe it's just broke?

Will be running those lanes tonight. I'll take me glaases

All this wild speculation and detective work reminds me of when Lost used to be on telly. Good times

I'm not entirely sure that Maccabees or Liam twat-head would be regarded as a big surprise, especially as Liam wasn't regarded as a big surprise when he played with beady eye.

The number of people who turned away when Beady Eye came on that year was a thing of beauty.

Anyone in pilton that can loan you a drone with a video camera? 

[Crazyfool01]

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]

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
