Stokesy10 Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 No inside info but surely the outcome here is it's Pangeas final Glasto then next year it'll change, either to Spider or otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Pangea base goes this week and the spider is here for this year … after that hopefully they will have some new ideas how to progress things beyond the spider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I didn’t notice that. “It’s the heart of darkness! It’s the dirt!” I guess he chose that because of the quote “don’t worry about them, because they sure as hell aren’t worrying about you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkychick2007 Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Arcadia are bringing the Afterburner back to one of their smaller but very good festivals I think the Spider will follow in the footsteps and return to Glastonbury this year!

Perhaps they are playing it safe a year with the spider as they probably a lost a load of money with the crane given it was only there for a year + spent money on legal stuff regarding the base etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefykoala Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 I've not been to Glasto since 2007 - can someone give me a summary of what all this spider business is about please? Are we happy there's gonna be a spider or do we want the spider to leave the premises? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we happy there's gonna be a spider or do we want the spider to leave the premises? The giant fire breathing spider left in 2019, and was replaced with a huge crane that was supposed to have a large globe suspended from it, that span around, and there were flamethrowers around it. However the crane was a little underwhelming, particularly as the main set piece (the globe) wasn’t able to be used for 90% of the time due to the wind. the planning permission for the crane has actually been rejected anyway, and they’re going to have to take it down (it was a partially permanent structure), probably before the 2022 festival. it is is likely the Spider is going to be back for 2022 to replace it for at least this festival. some people are happy about this as the crane was pretty crap, people love the spider and some people (ie me) have never seen the spider. some people are unhappy with this, largely because they’ve been to 5/10+ festivals and have therefore seen the spider a lot and are not fussed about it anymore and/or think there should be progress as the spider has been around for a while.

I appreciate you taking the time to explain this. I now understand, am invested, and feel that I am pro spider. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
