Helping keep people comfortable and reducing the chance of bad PR from a covid outbreak I imagine, less people inside a tent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, as the new main stage will be where the West Arena was, it'll be the other end of the site. Kind of inconvenient for co-headliners. Yes that's what I don't understand...going by previous years there'll be about five minutes between sets, so that's a hell of lot of people legging it from one stage to another. I understand it's the same every year (with second stage headliner finishing a few minutes before main stage headliner starts), but seems like a very similar demographic who would be there specifically to see both bands. However, I'm no festival planning expert so I'm sure they know what they're doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 Very happy with those two additions! Good stuff APE, now hopefully that’ll be the last of the dropouts for us, although I anticipate we might get some a couple of days before/on the day so hopefully they’ve got some acts ready to pick up the call.

WFD Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) Still some tidying up to do, they are still showing Tune Yards in the Monday line up as well as a Sunday act (Mr Jukes and Barney Artist).

finn_with_1_n Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 the app has updated. Not fully functioning (says everyone is playing at midday; quite laggy) but the update today just means we’re that extra bit close to the festival!

Sean1234321 Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) So looking at the map they've basically just swapped the North and West stages round, which seems a good idea as it could get pretty crowded at that North stage when the big acts were on. That does of course mean a longer walk between the two main stages (East and West) though. Seems like there is an additional entrance to the site as well - the Royal Gate entrance which is next to the West Stage, Edited August 12, 2021 by Sean1234321 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRadioactiveCake Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 Interestingly Bombay and Foals both listed for East stage in the app. Probably nothing given times/stages haven’t been put in yet... but wouldn’t shock me to see them move Bombay to avoid a mass rush across site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very happy about this, having always found the previous North stage to be strangely poor, for both sound and atmosphere. The new West looks bigger, more like the East. Only downside as you say is the trek from one end to the other, although that should help spread the crowd out more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond24 Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 There's a massive VIP viewing area right at the front of East Stage. Did they have that before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
