One new good thing

Glade Dome - what The Glade should have been all along. Ace.

Your go.

Is the drummer on the end of the pier a new thing? I found it mesmerising.

From the signposts the Glade Dome is the old Glade - and the new tent is The Glade.

I really liked the new area where BBC Introducing was. 
 

I also think that there seemed to be more seating around the site and more effort to create shaded areas.

This marvel

Wasn't that there the first year?

The names seemed to be the wrong way round. Glade Dome is in a Glade, The Glade isn't anymore, but that massive tent did seem fairly globe-like (although not as globey as Glade Dome's stage, I'll grant you.

New area around BBC introducing was lovely, nice calm vibe whenever I was there, decent food, roomy and comfortable.

Despite the complaints elsewhere they've made paths wider, areas more spacious and it made traffic around the site easier, silver Hayes in particular was a huge improvement.

The addition of repeaters at the Other stage was the best improvement made this year.

My god the sound at the Pet Shop Boys was fantastic.

When I caught the second half of Foals, I moved out of the front part as crowd was a bit dull. Ended up behind the visibility platform speaker and the sound was ace. As a group we all went there last night for PSB and the sound was absolutely insane. Audio completely mint and melt your face off loud. Didn't experience any sound issues this year across the board but the huge improvement on Other Stage was remarkable.

Kacey Musgraves and Kojey Radical sounded amazing as well. Even the wind had no effect. Incredible stuff.

Agreed, enormous improvement!

Didn’t catch the pier the first time so it’s not “new” but it was new for me…and it fucking rocked! What a great addition.

Sadly, had to leave part way through as my kiddo was exhausted but I could hear the whole set from my tent by Gate A in Darble - every word crystal clear. Fantastic sound! Pyramid needs some help next. Was by the tree for Diana Ross and couldn't hear a thing when she was speaking.

Also loved this area (new for me too). Had a Dismaland feel I thought!

I didn’t go to dismaland but my partner did, and that’s exactly what she said!

The forcefield worked a treat - weather was near perfect.

Amazing new addition. Can't believe it worked as well as it did.

How did I not notice this! 😁 Was stood in front of one thinking that it sounded good but never twigged that they were new and we're not there previously!

The lotus thing? 

I only saw it from miles away but it was burning a treat

Yup you could hear it over in Rivermead! I do wonder if they're thinking of annexing some of Oxylers to extend the field out further.
