And what’s the tent on a corner that has a stage, if you’re walking up from the back of the West Holts field towards the Stone Circle, just before the railway track, it’s on the left hand side? Near Greenpeace. Plenty of falafel and veggie food stalls around. In the centre of this:

That's the Fluffy Rock Cafe, or at least was last time I remember.

It doesn't always have a stage - it certainly has done probably more often than not, but there's been at least a couple years where it hasn't. No idea about 2022.

I know the one you mean. Can't remember it's name. Think it's a cafe with a stage, maybe an open mike venue.

Completely forgot that place! Remember having an egg bap and watching an acoustic performer there once. Probably at least 10 years ago now.

Does the Minuscule of Sound still exist? And the flea circus?

Yup - no idea if they're big enough to count as venues, but I think  the Blundabus is - also in T&C, I'm not sure what actually goes on there but it's used as a comedy venue in Edinburgh.

That was what it was called! I remember them having tech troubles on the Thursday last year.

To be fair I spent ages trying to think of it and said to my husband what was that stage called near BBC Introducing something to do with bees I'm sure and between us we came up with that which might not even be right!

Cool between us we managed to come up with the right answer. The little grey cells clearly just about operational.

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
