Don't even joke, I used to work in one of those.  One of the most heartbreaking places to spend any time in

Looks from that like it's going to come off the path that runs up the left side of the Park area.

"The Pier is most definitely the biggest project Rush has ever realized at Glastonbury. "It's absolutely massive. It's 60 meters long, it weighs 160 tons. It's a proper pier. It's got 1,400 planks to make the deck. I'm also having to find all the things that happen on the pier including the Punch and Judy show, the fortune tellers and pinball tables."

 

One part of the pier is called Automaton, which consists of automated robots and creatures and mechanical machines, and even a robot band that's going to be playing. 

 

"And it's not just a pier, it's also sea front. It's called Glastonbury-on-Sea, so we're actually building a sea front and a pier," Rush explained."

[gigpusher]

[Gnomicide]

I was wondering if they're putting a new path in to Park at the top; isn't Tipi field on the move? That would have a slope for it to project out from.

Perhaps like this: (blue line new path, yellow the pier)

Anywhere else encroaches onto camping areas?

I would say there might be a stunning photo opportunity with this .... aiming the camera in the direction of the sunset

Have you designed a new hat for this?

a 60m pier is going to extravagant .... even for me  I'm trying to work out the logistics of getting the 2 current ones on site without taking collateral damage  

[Divein]

That looks insane.

Cant wait for the map now.

Daft Punk confirmed.

Thought it might be the area Emily was taking about a few months back, the big new area near the Park.

[Acid Loafers]

Park is definitely going to be different I feel, considering Hot Chip is rumoured to headline there on Saturday.

Definitely is near the Park - on the left hand side of the sketch, it says "Road to Park". The road I'm thinking of is the one that goes past the bottom of the Ribbon Tower, so at a guess it is further north than @Keithy suggested above...

I am so excited about this addition along with the new offering from Arcadia. Come on map! I think I prefer the map to the line up drop.

I think it could be where he said, as I’m sure Emily specifically said something would be where the tipis were, but at a right angle going out towards the stone circle.

I reckon you might have it there Keithy, makes a lot of sense.

Another vote for thinking you've cracked it.

Or it’s the other side of the park and Arcadia is now a fire breathing techno playing pier instead of a spider?
