dotdash79 Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) I was just looking for at something and came across this about the common: NEW VENUE FOR 2020! We’re making something incredibly special for you. Amidst the well-loved rave-arenas of The Temple and the Rum Shack a new and sparkling jewel is emerging, a secret, sacred well, a portal to another world! Prepare to be submerged in sound and born again… More details coming soon! Samula is going to another level! https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/areas/the-common/ I wonder what it could be? Apologies if this has been posted already Edited February 13, 2020 by dotdash79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilgamesh69 Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) Did Hot Chip do a set in The Common last year? I swear it was on one of the posters but I never heard anything else about it. Was it just a DJ set?

Yeah, sounds like they’ve grander designs for the watery cave place this year, which is a slight surprise as I thought it went down very well in its last incarnation. Very cool watery screens effect. On the other side of the Temple to the Rum Shack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it looks like either an upgrade on that or another addition to that part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyfool01 Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 The cave to me looked spectacular from the outside but slightly disappointing once inside ... maybe I was expecting too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are improving this further then fair play because they could have definitely got away with doing the exact same thing and having many happy punters.

After an hour I was still quite a way from getting in and I didn't bother waiting any longer. If the line up is right this year, I might mooch over at Headliner time and check it out..

That's the secret. A couple of times I've done a tactical move prior to the end of a headliner, then legged it South-East and charged smugly into a rapidly filling Temple!

jimmillen Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Bit clueless about that area of the festival to be honest. Is there any kind of common theme to the music & DJs booked for each venue, or is it a wild variation depending on who's playing? Looks like an amazing place, but if it's wall to wall D&B then that's not for me... 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
