Sawdusty surfer Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) Spent the day today with someone (who shall remain anonymous) who is as always involved with an aspect of the build of the festival, In this year's contract it states that nothing festival related (ie spoilers) should be posted on Social media before the event. So no spoilers. Despite my involvement I've so far, never had to sign a contract as such and neither have they. Interesting.

Keithy Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 Good to hear. Sounds like they don't want photos of the changes to leak out and spoil the suprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suck it in mate, I'm not entirely sure what you are saying/suggesting here, but I'm not in the least bit concerned about the gagging clause I do occasionally spill small portions of the beans on here. Should I desist? Not worried from a legal point of view....so far. Edited April 18, 2019 by Sawdusty Surfer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell no, sorry if I was being ambiguous. If GFL decide to clamp down on leaks and spoilers I totally understand. In the last few weeks I've been responsible for making public a couple of fairly fat nuggets about this year's festival, but hey, at least I dropped the info on here and not anywhere else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 has the webcam signed this gagging order ? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagelaureate Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 They probably don't want the new areas revealed part way through the build (although the webcam will show alot!). Boomtown tried to keep their new stages hidden last year but they leaked on social media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 Aren't there some easy ways around this ... if someone else posts on social media for example a friend ... they won't know the source so there could be no potential consequences ?

incident Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 That's been pretty standard at quite a few festivals for a while now. Boomtown have had a similar restriction for years.. Surprised it took that long at Glastonbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian the worm Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 Interesting I already know things you lot don’t know and now I know they don’t want you lot to know what I know, I now know what I need to do with what I know.

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 I for one would prefer not to see or hear spoilers for the new areas like the pier, Block 9, Arcadia, etc. If anyone is gonna post info on the new areas I'd appreciate advance warning or a creating a separate thread. I think there are some nice surprises lined up this year, personally I'd like to keep it that way. Only for another 69 days... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 I'm quite happy with a bit of a blackout tbh. Speculation and build up is great, but imagine if you'd wandered into the site and come face to face with a bloody pier as a complete surprise! The sort of thing that almost comes close to replicating the amazement you felt the first time you saw the site would be glorious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squonk Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 I remember when i worked in 2017 for Greenpeace on the build, they gave us a glasto workers guide and it did ask in there not to post any build photos. Unfortunately I only saw this two days before the festival and had been posting photos on here from the beginning of June! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 With any luck this also discourages the plummy gets from Worthy FM from posting “look at this shitty puddle” type content in the week leading up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chatty Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 Good, don't want all the surprises spoilt. New Arcadia, pier, woods theatre, sound fantastic, be happy to see them in the flesh rather than have some pics leak before we get there. Hopefully more to come, cant wait.

All seems a bit draconian and erring towards the fascistic for any festival to take such a stance, let alone the previously perceived liberal stance of Glastonbury. Why adopt such a position - it's a festival, not the Cold War? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
