To be fair, the state i'm usually in when I see Genosys all lit up like that I don't think i'd notice if it's all a bit mouldy and knackered.

You probably would when it collapses on you

With the threat of COVID last year, the design teams will have had much longer to come up with new ideas. hopefully very ambitious too...

But will they have had the budget to create their ambitious ideas? The cost of everything has gone up but the budget for their field may not have!

I heard from someone who really does know about these things that all this year's budgets were frozen at last years levels. 

Obviously there could be exceptions for particular new projects.

Blimey... I kind of expected that but hope it doesn't have too much of an impact. 

Makes me wonder how Silver Hayes have managed to bag a new venue with The Levels, which sounds pretty decent and quite major. That said, LSTD have a lot of their own staging which could be repurposed?

If it is their own staging it would mean they don't have to pay the people who built Sonic so there would be a saving there, which is nice. Lest we forget...

Wow. I wonder how Brexit is working out for them.

And if they regret backing Boris!

Gaffa tape it up and send it back into action. I love Genosys, confused the shit out of my brain but I love it.

They seem to be involved in building loads of other stages at Glastonbury and elsewhere so I'm sure they are doing ok. Other tweets from them since have included the Red Alert stuff and things about tax breaks though.

Maybe they've realised they were conned like everyone else!

LSTD has some cool stages but I’ve never had a good time at LSTD so I hope Silver Hayes doesn’t just become a mini LSTD. 

Glasto isn't an inner city uni fest. it will be fine

    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
