Could just be a rename but with the mooted Shangri-La re-jig, the Truth Stage could be no more.

Really hope not, it’s a great stage. Not sure why they would remove it.

I would LOVE if the Spice Girls somehow got added to the lineup. Or just happened to do a Vegas residency while I'm there in September 

Does seem to explicitly say Wembley though

Maybe the rumoured new stage near carhenge will be the new truth stage. Last year there was times it felt dangerous there, especially during skindred. Should be much more room if it's moved.

Big issue with a bottleneck to get around it. I hope it remains as the number of stages for non-dance stuff in SE Corner will be down to virtually zero if that goes.

I can't see the WG stage being much more than the one that was set up last year and barely used. Hope I'm wrong but I don't think there will be room for a larger stage without a major re-shuffle.

No sign of any maps yet gives some hope of changes … wether that’s just the Arcadia and renamed rabbit hole and maybe changes to sec entry and exit remains to be seen

We dont usually get maps for another month or so anyway?

Truth Stage is of course the Hell Stage and has probably been called a few other names over the years. Probably just new branding in line with whatever the theme is this year.

The more I look at that, the more I'm convinced it's not connected to an announcement at all.

 

The "Pyramid" effect is simply a pattern effect based on diagonal lines. And the background behind the girls appears to be a boxing match held in the old stadium.

 

I think it's just a "Wembley Legacy" design used to make some temporary fencing look nicer. And Mel B is posting it because she's proud of it.

 

This.  Mel B just polishing her own ego again.

I’d imagine so. I’d be surprised if the SE Corner doesn’t have a significant refresh this year, especially after all the ‘everything must go’ stuff last year.

Yeah it does get busy as people try to get past at the back. A different route around would be a better option. I didn’t think Skindred was too bad down the front.

Ah, to be fair, if an iconic venue put up massive collage featuring my glory days I'd probably be pretty chuffed about it as well. Think this one is very forgivable.

I just thought exactly the same when I read it!  I’d defo stick it on my ‘gram! 😂

Yes that's a good point and I think the area needs a re-think. I hope there's a return to some more of the micro venues. I'm not sure if it's just me but they've felt lacking in the last few years in favour of the bigger stages. Apparently the original Genosys stage arrangement is coming back but I can't remember where I heard that, might have been on one of Gideon's radio shows

I would lean toward early May again. They seem to take longer doing everything these days 🙂

Yeah 22 and 23 were early May so that makes sense but also makes a pattern of sorts … not long anyway

 I reckon we will start getting 1 or 2 annoucements per week from next week. There is a LOT of areas to release their lineups/posters

Wonder what’s the difference between a new map and an updated map. Some years it’s new others it’s an update.

Just how it was typed on the individual tears when it was just a long list of years, I guess it now looks a bit odd when next to each other.

Pitty the maps don't all line up to make a better gif to see the changes since 08.

They should split the map Into a grid and reveal one square at a time
