Pyramid for Elton

[Glasto Weatherwatch]

Just walked in middle right entrance after seeing the Secret Glasto message and there’s a decent amount of space once you’re past the outer ring of chairs

They stopped people coming in the middle entrance on the right during guns and roses for about 20 mins. Sent everyone up to the new entrance right at the back.

 

(it might not be new, but I’ve never seen it before)

They probably wanted to make sure it sorted itself out and people moved/adjusted before they wanted to let anymore move in. This is just crazy for now and with 2 hours to go.

 

This isnt frank ocean! 🤣

Yup, lots of people thinking they can swoop in after Lil Nas has finished are gonna be in for a bit of a shock. Looks mental.

Looks like anyone wanting to get close to the front for Phoenix, Alt-J or Queens of the Stone Age wont have too much trouble

Report from inner circle

Loads of peeps in here with clearly little interest in L Nas

To be fair, for someone rapping to a backing track he's putting on a hell of a show

Talk about taking your chances

We’re up the hill, central location, about 30m in front of the big tree, and there is loads of space. The issue is that all along the left hand edge (& prob right) people are camped out with chairs/blankets/pushchairs making an almost impenetrable barrier to get through. Once you do get through them though, it’s fine

 The whole thing about the Sunday bill having to be suitable for the locals is a myth, as evident last year when Kendrick closed the Pyramid.

I'm sure there was a thing in 2004(?) where some of the locals weren't exactly thrilled that Muse were the headliners on Sunday as a heavier than usual act? Although agree, whilst most Sunday headliners are generally more safe I'm guessing winning over the locals isn't as much as a thing as it might have been before.

This is view right now (1918) from very top of field at the Woodsies end. We had no bother getting across and in after watching first half of Editors. All calm here

[Andy0808 v5]

Sitting through this shite you deserve a decent spot.

[airwaves]

And also, in the meantime, the bad as s firework platforms have been elevated behind the TV screens on either side

Looks like you’re watching Elton from the Woodsies end.

It’s going to be a drone display according to rumours!

It has never been a thing. Hear this every year but it is bullshit. There are 5,000 local tickets from 135,000. If you think sunday headliners are chosen on that basis, i have a bridge to sell you.

We've had the "singer" and now the "dancers" 

When do we get the magician??

Did you bring binoculars?!

Crowd must be intense. At the front for Caroline Polachek and there's about two rows of people here. Granted about 20 mins before start but still for a subheader at woodsies who comfortably sold out the Apollo earlier this year, that's shocking.

Unsurprising, what a stale set of other options. As if the programmers missed deadline and just picked up a copy of NME from 2011 and booked the first three acts they saw.

[nilolium]

arrived 19:30 from the market area, still plenty of space just in the middle between the sound towers. took me around 10 mins to carefully navigate. i've seen worse here - so far.✌🏽

Other stage is empty for TWOD. Crowd not even back to sound desk.

[Purple aki squat]

Bollocks to that.

outside woodsies, nice and calm.

[Neil]

i've got a fantastic lovely spot, lying down comfy, with a perfect view, i'm also feeling lovely and fresh cos i've had a shower.

[MEGABOWL]

It’s really not that bad. Still plenty of room.
