This year the Second Stage will now be a completely open air stage rather than housed inside a tent. The new layout will incorporate more hard standing areas reducing mud and dust significantly. There will be no one-way system, giving quicker and more direct access to the three stages and all car parking will now be within the Donington Park site removing the footbridge to the site. The new position of the Main Stage is now within a natural amphitheatre.
There will also be more seating on site, better facilities for the carers of disabled festival-goers in the disabled campsites, plus ways of dealing with overcrowding on the disabled platform, and the cup recycling scheme will be extended to include plastic bottles.
