No. They are bringing it to the festival. The theatrical side of things will be notched up by 100.

I wonder if my suggestion is right and it’s VR. I wouldn’t be surprised

Marilyn Manson would go down well!

 

If Manson was playing I could see it being my highlight of the festival season for sure.

Now I can start getting hyped! 

[mr flow]

Just an educated hunch, but i think Bicep will be on the line up this year.

I wonder who's in the frame for the headliners for Lion's Den and the Town Centre? 

Flogging Molly is one, right? 

Could Frank Carter be another; I heard a whisper! 

Lion's Den will be intriguing...

My 7th of Feb line up drop maybe slightly wrong... It might actually come earlier in that week.

It's the 6th it's dropping isn't it? 

Edit. 

It could be the story and new stages announcement, I knew i'd seen the 6th mentioned somewhere...

I believe the announcement relating to this trailer is more around the new stuff on offer rather than the main line up, but they could do them both at same time. Anyway, it's definitely going to be week commencing 3rd of Feb, so not long to wait.

A bit of a rejig of the site this year. 

Whistler's Green likely to be moved to inbetween Area 404 and Lion's Den.

I heard the camping zones between Lions Den and Area 404 are being scrapped, so that seems to make sense.

From a staff member I know who I saw recently who has recently been there doing a site visit to assess the plans for and the implications of etc etc the new layout.

Will be taking some woody stuff to Whistler's Green again this year.

Bicep live is festival exclusive for field day so wouldn’t they be doing DJ set on nucleus as one of the other headliners for that stage alongside Aphex Twin?

Boomtown will definitely be having Inner City &/or Kevin Saunderson.

i take this back. It's not happening now by the look of things.

There is a new podcast out, which is all about the Boomtown Storyline.

Well worth a listen if you want to learn a bit more about the "immersive maze" theatrical side of the festival.

Thanks mr c. I know I will. I’ve been previously offered last minute jobs there for the last 5 or 6 years but never pulled it out the bag to go as Mrs Worm is usually away and I’ve been left with kids/cat/house etc to sort. 

This years it’s a Glasto / WOMAD / Boomtown summer trilogy. 🌺🌼🌸
