Talcroft Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 What year did the Glastonbury sign and Ribbon Tower first appear? I don't remember them from my first festivals in 08 and 09, but maybe I just didn't get there. The sign was definitely there in 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Did they appear in the first year of the park ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talcroft Posted July 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Maybe. Which Google says was 07. I definitely didn't visit the Park in 08 but I don't have any photos of 09 so who knows what happened. Huh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner1990 Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) The sign first appeared in 2010 IIRC as it had a ‘40’ at the end of it that year. I can recall the ribbon tower in 2011 as I some friends went up it….would imagine it was there beforehand - perhaps 2008?🤷♂️ Edited July 1, 2022 by gooner1990 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomaf Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 The tower was definitely there in 2008, because I went up it - and that was the last time I went to the festival. I can’t remember if it was there the year before. It’s weird to see the Park become such an integral part of the festival, because I spent a lot of time up there in its first year (2007) and some of the acts attracted crowds that barely reached triple figures (though the weather certainly didn’t help).

The Ribbon was definitely up in 2007, met my mates there when I arrived that year. Also Park Stage first year, i remember Chas & Dave on it that hazy Friday. Lost Vagueness & the Chapel etc was still there too. No advertised nightlife tourism with a oneway system, you could have a BALL with no queues, room to breathe & roam in a non-dull persons safe space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomicide Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 The Park was introduced in 2007 https://www.efestivals.co.uk/news/07/070508c.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
