Why has the West Holts stage changed its rotation?

Anyone spot the Co-op?

Happy 40th birthday to me, and what a blooming great day ?????

Hopefully to be able to cover a larger area without sound bleed.  There were massive problems with the sound the last couple of years if you were in the wrong place.  Stand in the right place and it was utterly wonderful.

Block 9 doubled in size!

I think Block 9 is gonna be special this year. At the moment I have no Friday night headliner plans so I think I'm gonna head down here nice and early

No change in the little silhouettes of Acadia or Sonic despite both being in line for a rejig. In fact Silver Hayes is identical in terms of venues despite supposedly combining Blues and Gully. So I don't think this is going to be the final version.

They've combined Blues & Gully and added a new venue 'No Average Groove', so still the same number of venues.

All. Please note that nothing is confirmed on this map until we have the official version from Janet Jackson’s people.

Will be interested to see how moving the angle West holts faces out at will effect sound bleed, especially with putting Glasto Latino in that general direction.

I think putting Glasto Latino in that position will be a positive move, likely to get a lot more people going there in the daytime.

With the exact same footprints? Didn't they describe No Average Groove as a microvenue. I think they've just not changed the map.

It's all going on today.

Its all happening today! I think a little bit of wee just came out......

[Acid Loafers]

Block 9 looks delicious and big! 

Feel like there will still be some changes to come, as no changes to Silver Hayes and Arcadia still has the Spider, which is said to not appear this year.

I'm inclined to agree. Arcadia still a distinctive spider shape... And I was expecting more changes in The Park

[BackpackFullOfWarmBeer]

Interesting.  Camplight is still noted on the map at the top of Pennards, but I didn't think they were going to be back this year. I assume that's perhaps a mistake, and was not removed from this version.

[Doug85]

It's probably a work in progress. Glasto Latino has been moved and Block 9 is now huge along with the new Pier. New camp areas for crew etc too so still little things for them to change as they have done in other years after the map release.

If you really zoom in you can faintly see the underground piano bar

West Holts stage has turned slightly

 

So - I'm certain, though it may just be a false memory, that the Jazz World Stage (as it was) pointed much more southerly in the 90s, almost directly towards the row of shops etc that included in the Blue Moon Cafe / towards the junction where the Tiny Tea Tent was.

This http://www.webm8.co.uk/riddler/flyers/glastonbury/0024.html seems to suggest this was the case.

Its all very good

[Divein]

Block 9 seems to have expanded but there doesnt seem to be anything in it. 

Also the Pier is presumably going to take up a large area of Pennerds which maybe why Campligh twas offered space offsite this year.

Regarding the lack of detail in Block 9 and Arcadia being same shape etc:

My guess is they don’t want to give too much away at this stage. Would ruin the element of surprise?

It's renamed South West Holts now.

[Sku]

A simple map reveal makes me far more excited than it should do.

It's possible that Arcadia remains shown as a spider on the map intentionally, so as not to ruin the surprise of what they are actually doing instead. Really, the shape shown on the map doesn't matter as long as the location is correct.
