That's not an easy question - because they own the core land and employ staff year round, the build isn't quite as defined as it may be at other festivals. In terms of the earliest prep work, mostly done by the regular farm hands, any time from about now onwards if it hasn't already started. In terms of first time it's visible and recognisable on the webcam (usually Pyramid/Longdrops being set up), early to mid April. In terms of the external people such as security and the fence crew arriving on site, the start of May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went for a site walk in April 2016 and was surprised it had not started to have its cover on at that point. Must have been a late start that year!

I assume that because it's a task done by the farm hands, it'll be based around the schedule of the Dairy Farm to a large degree - so basically they'll do it early because they've got the time and it gets it out of the way, but if there's other demands then it can be pushed back by weeks or even a couple months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to have the cows moved out the fields 2 months before the fest, so they'll probably start after that's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deaf Nobby Burton Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Wouldn’t surprise me if they dress the Pyramid early, as the cover will have been in storage for the longest period so far and the mice might have got to it.

Tbf Latitude have picked the balance payment day! Still wouldn’t rule out tomorrow before it opens, but I think there may well be something to the pictures they’ve been posting and we’re looking at Thursday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfa Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Surely it makes sense to announce mid-balance. People will jump the gun and pay then potentially not like the lineup - but have already paid and then others will not be too sure then see paul mccartney and pay it off. It gives the best of both worlds and would lead to the most deposits being paid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
