Site Changes 2023

As something like this would typically need planning permission I was going over the sites application (2022/2458/FUL) submitted towards the end of last year to see if anything was mentioned. The site plan detailed has a 'W.G Artist' 175 SQM. Initially I suspected an artist tent but the other stages don't seem to have anything similar mentioned.  I'm not sure if it is related but thought it was worth adding to the speculation..

I think it's reasonable now to assume that that was referring to the foundations now going down for Carhenge v2.0

Stinks of a budget cut move really... Use the kit from an area that is no longer there to remove an area which normally has 4 days of artists on. Big big shame that as its always been a great hub. Seems another area falling into a walkway.

The way it used during Worthy Pastures it could have been made into a nice chill zone. A walkaway/photo op is essentially what it will be.

I'm very disappointed, not with the installation and ethos around it (sounds great TBF) but with the disappearance of one of my favourite areas and it not being replaced. Last year everywhere felt very crowded and now being a venue down I can't see it being any better.

I am hoping that rather than this just being a budget cut, it's actually part of the solution to the overcrowding problem and acts that were on in William's Green will be spread further afield or somewhere new (perhaps somewhere in Woodsies for example?)

Is the second photo the remnants of the helicopter that was purchased?

Looks interesting, can't wait to see what they come up with next.

Helicopter was 4 x the size of that by the look of it - want to know where that one in second photo is going though - looks cool as hell. 50 photos incoming lol.

Would love to know what happened to the helicopter, perhaps we'll see it flying about near Arcadia this year?! No idea tbf.

Can everyone stop panicking that William's Green has gone, or at least the WG-tent has gone. Perhaps it's just being moved away from an already congested area of the site? Could easily be placed somewhere else. 

This could happen but we know some acts aren't booked because William's Green has been binned. If it was just being moved, wouldn't they just be booked in the new location?

Granted it could be something under different management and they want all new acts (which could be argued is a good thing) but it just sounds to me like the plug has been pulled.

    • 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
