I’m thinking maybe it’s Earth in the middle and a little Moon hanging from the crane?

Not so little

Measuring seven metres in diameter, the moon features 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface.

Is the crane/moon going to spin around? ?

I've been thinking that due to the symbol they use on the Glastonbury map.... It looks like an orbit. However I don't think there is any way a spinning loaded crane would be allowed to operate with a crowd directly under the jib

On some imagery I’ve seen the ‘orbit’ is called the ‘aerial performance zone’ so...

Rotating moon (even just slowly) plus lazers...

The moon (spere) looks very much part of the base structure of the crane? I'd assume spinning fire from the end the crane... The sphere also may look a bit more like a globe of fire ie the earth being created / pangea theme. 

Assume iicon will be bringing the frickin lazer beams ;)

I think the base structure might be the Earth? The moon will definitely be hanging from the crane. 

It shouldn't be a hazard if it spins very slowly and doesn't carry heavy goods? The year off has done Glastonbury wonders for this year.

I'm oblivious - still looks like... a crane to me. Looking forward to seeing it in action on Friday night.

Yep I thought the crane was just the basic structure/skeleton and it was gonna get made up to look like something else. As it stands it looks like a crane that’ll have a moon dangling from it. Guess I’ll have to wait to see it in action to see what they’re getting at with this one.

My guess is not a lot. I'll head for one set (Black Madonna) to suss out if it's any good.

I'm doing Interpol in the JPT on Friday night, so will do Carl Cox before I go to the SEC. Then, if it's not all that, at lest I'll know I can swerve FB Slim after the Chems and just head to the Glade for Sister Bliss, Jon Cater and Darren Emerson instead.

    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
