used recycled veg oil I think last time so was better environmentally but think that took away a bit of the effect

surely they have to .... heard it will be suspended too

yeah those hexagons interest me ... done with some kind of lighting ?

‘The transformation of the first dragonfly marks the dawn of a new season’ Arcadia kicks off a whole new chapter at Glastonbury with their boldest installation yet. The Dragonfly, a giant biomechanical creature, will awaken at the heart of an evolved geometric space, exploring ideas around renewal, our relationship with technology and how we adapt to a changing climate. Built from an ex-military Royal Navy helicopter, The Dragonfly repurposes a weapon of destruction into a unifying symbol. As conflicts flare around the world, the transformational nature of the sculpture is a monument to hope. The transformation of the first dragonfly to mark the dawn of a new season resonates through cultures, none older than the Aboriginal First Nations of Australia. Each night, Arcadia and representatives of the Wadjuk Noongar nation will perform Warraloo, a spectacular ceremony that sees The Dragonfly burst into life. It celebrates possibility in epic style, inviting reflection on a changing climate and ways to navigate it through cooperation and the creative use of technology. Roaming both the Arcadia field and the wider festival will be the dragonfly’s mobile, amphibious cousin – the Bug. Built from submarine moulds, the Bug comes alive on six wheels of self contained sculpture, spreading the carnival spirit with its own eclectic lineup and a custom soundsystem hand built by Minirigs. 2024 also sees a whole new daytime dimension to Arcadia’s world – an interactive kids area open to families. The Alchemists’ Playground is a collaboration with constructive play specialists Woodland Tribe – a forge of ideas, workshops and creative adventure. Drawing on key Arcadia elements like repurposing, engineering, design and performance, children of all ages will learn to weld recycled metal creations, try out circus skills and build their own adventure playground. Expect a riot of imagination and some epic pieces of Arcadia hardware to get creative with, all culminating in a massive party on Saturday with Junior Jungle. A new installation, a new generation and new frontiers of innovation – 2024 is a year of renewal.

a few people left pre sale of the site last June ... getting the numbers back up now

they absolutely should be ... its rare they come that late but is possible

Prepare to be body painted on your bar crawl 😂

I’ll be seeing 3 possibly 4 of those . 😀

maybe 3 ?

Don’t forget the pinned Efest meet for anyone that’s made it … will hopefully see some of you there with added excitement. Still time for those that haven’t yet

Fantastic news … you’ve made it 🙂 see you on the farm … mines a brothers 😀

Thought we might get something today though …

hes great fun ... really enjoyed that set at the park 🙂

I dunno … I know of several people used this in the past … multiply that and I reckon it’s significant . Or they wouldn’t have bothered with the hassle

Coldplay , avril , dua , justice , sugarbabes . Dua and coldplay standouts for me

yep correct its going to be interesting to see how much that impacts numbers / overcrowding on site , think itll be significant

Supposed to be under this weather warning today for storms … no sign at the moment it’s just a lovely day … storms are pretty hit and miss and will hopefully not hit the site , the fact there’s cranes operating gives me hope they won’t

10pm not so bad for SEC I’d say also it’s been a few years since I’ve been , post headliners that’ll get massively busy … only other one which gets a massive amount of footfall would be Arcadia but looks like there might well be changes in that area so maybe more space , silverhayes the other go to area but that’s pretty well spread out and there’s room to move

Should now be on 90 if next person could add them back please
