bigusrobus Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Can you get onto site early if you have an artists pass? If so which gate/car park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarw Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 I’m not sure about this. Probably best if you ask the person that issued the pass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on whoever's booked you. There are different artist arrival and accreditation areas around the perimeter, but the bulk of artists arriving by car will enter via Orange gate and you'll get directed along Orange Route down to the performers' car park at the South end of Orange car parking. You then have to go and collect your wrist bands from an artist arrivals portacabin. (E.g. there's a one just North of Gate D.) You'll be met by a bunch of people from 'accreditation' who'll have a wallet full of tickets/wristbands for the people they're expecting to arrive that day. So you need to get in touch with whichever area's booked you, e.g. Silver Hayes, and find out when they're expecting you, and maybe try to sweet-talk them into letting you arrive early. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomf3 Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Yeah if I recall correctly standard crew/artists can arrive from the Monday, and if you wanted to arrive before that you can be added to an early access list (something like that), but yeah you'd be advised of the gate by the area that booked you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstream Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 keeping in mind that until 0800 on wednesday the site is deemed to be a working building site and you will need to have done the glastonbury H&S induction and be wearing hi viz when out on the site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotChipWillBreakYourLegs Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 When I previously did bar work and arrived on the Tuesday I was happily walking around most places without a hi viz or a H&S induction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fair to say that the rules on this are unenforceable and so widely ignored. It's still technically the rules, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still technically the rules, though. Agreed absolutely re high viz seems to be a rule much ignored (once or twice been asked to put it on when the telehandlers are zooming about) but the H&S wrist band has been checked every time I drive through the gate onsite for the last 4 or 5 festivals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure my FMS mates don’t even have hi-vis to wear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure my FMS mates don’t even have hi-vis to wear! I was challenged one year. Security at the vehicle crossing between Woodsies and other wouldn’t let anyone cross without hi-vis. I just walked down to the crossing to SH and crossed there. I usually tuck one in my waistband now to save the hassle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Festival Sounds Podcast Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 It’s a case of being sensible. There is a still a lot of heavy machinery and construction in places on Monday-Tuesday. If you around those parts, it makes sense to wear it for your own safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
