👍

It was crap / a massive clique anyway

[goldfishboy]

i thought it had a pretty special atmosphere the one time i went there. not a fan of queueing but it was worth the wait. horses for courses etc

Is the underground piano bar and the Irish piano bar the same thing?

If you’re heading to the BBC Introducing stage then look out for Bar on the Green’s new location right next door. This well loved bar offers plenty of indoor seating, cocktails, premium beers – including non alcoholic & disco tunes well into the night.

 

 

 

From the Glasto website in the 'bars' section - maybe freeing up space on Williams green for something else.

 

Good spot.

 

They still have the Meeting Point bar which is almost directly opposite where Bar on the Green was.  Maybe they thought it was a bit of saturation of bars there since Williams Green disappeared and is not drawing the crowds.

I only went once and don’t remember any Irishness! Only song I remember is Keane - Everybody’s Changing 😂

may seem obvious to most of us but I think a couple of years ago someone put something about Spoilers on the title of the site build thread so those who don't want to see it don't accidently ruin the surprise for themselves.

I'm sure there was a bar next to BBC already - was it Hop & Liquor?

There was one yeah, can't remember what it was called though but Hop & Liquor sounds familiar. Curious to what will be where Bar on the Geen was in Williams Green

I think it’s pretty obvious that this thread will contain spoilers now to be honest!

well, it started as a speculation thread and is now a thread posting pictures of what has changed.

I doubt we'll get anything too revealing - the festival will be asking those on site already not to post photos on socials etc. 

The webcam could be an issue for Arcadia though!

it's almost like they are reading the forum posts!

In 2022 there was a guy working on site who would walk up behind the pier and take photos every day and post them on another site similar to this one. It was cool to see the site build from a different perspective.

A three chambered tuned acoustic chair is finally finished, was a lumpy work in progress at the festival last year and I'm starting on a 2 1/2 tonne ancient oak rootball that was felled many decades ago. Old dead oak like that is known as 'bone oak', all the sapwood has rotted off and the heartwood is as hard as iron. it's not easy going, have to resharpen every few minutes.

It was last year... My friends and I went there and we all ate a big bowl of goodness which was very nice and filling and it was also great to get out of the sun as the tent was really cool.
