New arena layout with two main stages - Reading

Recommended Posts

Found another pic with a different view of the arena, that should give some idea around potential layout, ease of movement etc...

If Dance stage moves to where the Alt stage/ 1extra is, Alt moves to the Pit, The second main stage would easily fit allowing very easy access between the two, with an additional two bars in the obvious spots along the side  

Toubourg town stay in the samish spot between the two main stages with the Intorducing next door to it

Where does the 1xtra go

Stays where it is. Unless we don’t think the dance and 1 extra can both live up there. Could be a lot of sound bleed

The dance tent could just about stay where it is

Remember the FR tent is now just 1 day in with the Pit/Lock up.

Dance tent might move to FR, opening up space to view the new main stage.

The dance tent is miles bigger than the FR. Not sure they can fit it in there

Dance will probably go where 1extra is and then 1extra will be where FR is?

My guess right now based on the side-by-side main stages not happening would be something like the the above, I can't see the Dance Stage being sandwiched between the 2 main stages

1. Main Stage East (normal Main Stage)

2. Main Stage West (formerly Radio 1 stage)

3. Dance Stage (formerly Festival Republic stage, maybe rotate to accommodate based on size?)

4. The Lock Up/The Pit/Festival Republic Stage (formerly just The Lock Up/The Pit)

5. 1Xtra Stage (stays as is or maybe rotated to face speakers away from MSW?)

6. BBC Introducing (formerly Alternative Stage)

 

Hard to figure out but don't want too much sound bleed across stages!

You've forgotten about the Alternative stage!

I think the BBC may stay where it is. With the Dance stage gone there will be easy access between the two stages, even with the introducing 'complex' where it is now

If the video doesn’t work…I’ve just gone through reading on the train - normal main stage is up - no sign of the second main stage from what I could see

Lash it up on Reddit or similar

My office overlooks the Reading site.

Looks like Dance tent is up (Yellow and Blue) in an alternate location from previous years and cranes onsite to put up the second main stage up in the corner that used to house the R1/NME tent.

Are you able to tell where the dance stage is?  Is it by the traditional main stage, or up the other end?

Id say Dance tent is where the pit /lock up stage was last time.

Not the best pic but you can make out the first main stage (back of) in its original position

Cranes over the far side putting up second stage

Red/Blue tent also going up to the right of dance tent!

Could they be going into more of the campsite with the blue and yellow tent? If not looks a similar location to where the old pit/lock up is and the new pit/lock up/fr will all be where the old FR is. Leaving 1xtra, bbc introducing and the alternative stage.

Its hard to tell with the perspective there, assuming the cranes are for the second stage, then the Dance tent looks to be where the Alternative stage is.  Maybe the Alt stage/ 1extra and Dance stage swapping around?
