stuartbert two hats Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) Ok, so now that the worries about whether the festival is happening are pretty much over, we need to turn our attention to the really important stuff - what's going to change on site? The big one that I can think of is the enlarged, slightly relocated Spike Bar. Anyone who was as Worthy Pastures probably saw it. It's on two levels now and looked pretty good. We should see changes at both the Rush sites - namely The Pier and Pangea. The Pier was clearly unfinished and Arcadia made a big thing back in 2019 about Pangea evolving over time. There's also a new bridge at the entrance to Kings Meadow and Bella's Bridge looked in need of a major safety upgrade/replacement back in August. What else? Have any other hints been dropped about new areas or infrastructure? Are there going to be new toilets? Has any new drainage been installed? Has there been any landscaping? And less importantly, are there even going to be new stages? Edited February 12, 2022 by stuartbert two hats 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 I’d say SE corner will see some changes … some fields moving about or being renamed … just a hunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 A few less trees because of ash dieback 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guypjfreak Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 If they keep pushing us up the hill on row mead they'll be no fucking front row camping... And the reason they do it is so they have more room for headliners.. The thing is I can't think of anyone who could properly fill that space Anyone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyT Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Glastonbury on Sea was marked out on the map of the site Emily put on instagram last week so I’d have thought that will definitely be making a return. There’s also some blurb about it on the areas page on the official site suggesting it’ll be there for 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe trying to create a wider walk way round the field though the main pinch point there is just at the side of the stage heading towards beat hotel etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But always an inevitable stop once bolloxed on the way to somewhere else. Only to quickly forget whatever the original destination was.

danbailey80 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Regarding Spike bar. I had a wonder around it on worthy pastures and I don't think it was any different. Maybe it looked different because it didn't have the bar and decorations etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the middle of the night when I went up, I might have it totally wrong. I'm pretty sure it has been rebuilt though, even if it's the same as before.

funkychick2007 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Doesn't the Rabbit Hole change its position each year within The Park! And the secret bar!!! Which Ive never managed to get the password too, but its good fun trying to get it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomicide Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Not really a site change but I'm convinced they will use up the additional attendance that they were granted prior to 2019. Something like 15k? They need to pull in extra revenue, it's been approved, why wouldn't they? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshuwarr Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 I suspect the SE Corner will see some changes. I would not be surprised if the Block 9 team do something different with the IICON space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
