Surely at this stage the atmosphere is pretty neutral (park, drive lol lol lol), an empty tent as it would be for the next 24 hours or so wouldn't convey amazing vibes either?

Maybe, currently in front of me are a bunch of lads sniffing coke and comparing biceps (wish I was joking)

Just feels like a massive empty space now ( the installation actually feels pretty small in the space imo) and just makes an already sparse corner of the festival feel even more so

Eee, does sound a bit grim in fairness. So is there no bar in the vicinity any more either?

On today's Glasto twitter feed today is this photo, which I thought was the bar in Williams Green, and so I was a bit confused as there looked like the Williams Green tent in the background! I assume the photo in the twitter feed is not from this years festival then!? Has that bar gone, as well as the tent then, I liked to have a few beers in there each year. A shame if it has

There is a bar henge, but it's just a go up and order bar, no seating etc.

Didn't go up towards the acoustic do can't say if the normal bar is there or not but I thought I did see it

Used to enjoy watching the football matches and Wimbledon in that bar when the dates combined!

Me too, especially remember Wimbledon on a sunny Saturday afternoon chilling just inside the bar entrance having a fee beers, whilst keeping an eye/ear out for who was playing in the tent next door. Love(d) that place/area, could spend hours drinking and listening to music and people watching as they pass through between Acoustic/Pyramid/West Holts or just chilling out on the seats outside.

I liked it, tons of folk enjoying the sun there this afternoon. When they played a suitable tune a few punters had a dance. 

If they played the right tunes they could easily keep a decent crowd happy and cos it's not a tent with walls there's no need to manage capacity.

    • 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.
    • Wow just got myself some Megadeth tickets and not sure I can afford another set of tickets for another gig so soon but we'll see. Fingers crossed
    • Can't speak for Dua Lipa's, but Coldplay's was vastly scaled down compared to their stadium production staging though, and tracks were adapted to reflect that. MOTS tour had a full walkway 30m out to the B-Stage in the middle of the crowd, and two C-Stages. Glastonbury didn't accommodate that at all and just had a very small walkway in front of the Pyramid stage, and (IIRC) a disconnected B-Stage.   Which re-enforces my point. Acts can adapt their stage shows if they really want. Most do, some don't want to. Glastonbury might miss out on the odd act that doesn't want to slightly adapt, but so will most festivals.
