Splatt Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 It’s pretty ugly but can’t wait to see what they do with it. It will be awesome at Glasto 2023! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gherkin8r Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Thinking the moon must orbit outside the centre where people aren't allowed to stand or summat. The radome has still to be added into the setup too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it’s the platform under the globe. Read somewhere that DJs will be only 2 ft above us punters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason that people can't stand underneath the orbiting moon or whatever else they hang off the crane - as long as they use appropriate fixings so that it can't come loose that is.

MJP Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Those projections will really make it interesting. I think it'll be awesome at night if the moon's on the crane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better then. I thought someone said earlier in the thread there were regulations about such things which is why I was confused.

I thought someone said earlier in the thread there were regulations about such things which is why I was confused. I don't know if there are specific regulations but it is usually avoided, in my experience. Take this quote from the HSE website: Working under suspended loads Where it can be avoided, loads should not be suspended over occupied areas. Where it cannot be avoided, the risks to people must be minimised by safe systems of work and appropriate precautions. Where loads are suspended for significant periods, the area below them should be classed as a danger zone, where access is restricted. http://www.hse.gov.uk/work-equipment-machinery/planning-organising-lifting-operations.htm Edited June 24, 2019 by concerned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chazwwe Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 If we have those scafolds covered up, some lasers coming off of them towards the center. The moon with projections and the Earth all lit up along with fire and more lights. I think it'll be grand. Was getting bored of the spider anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppelin Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Is it? ? I genuinely can't wait to see what they've done. I reckon it'll be insane and I'm amazed I still don't really have a clue how it'll look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they use the moon as some kind of projector screen or have lasers focused on it from across the site that would probably look pretty amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 I think it’s gonna look great when we’re all stood beneath it raving our tits off, but you can see why they called it an evolving work in progress, ‘cause it’s currently a long way from the spider.

Tr234 Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 The people who do the moon also do the earth in Liverpool cathedral, which you can walk underneath as it is suspended in the air. You will dance underneath it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However there were lots of performers etc at the spider before it was officially a show. I expect it to be a spectacle if not a show!
