I didn't go last year, but here are all the more specific changes I can think of other than the vibe or drugs: * Arcadia has moved to near the bottom entrance to The Park. It's also now a dragonfly rather than a spider. * There's a Co-op now, near the Other Stage. It doesn't sell alcohol. * The Other Stage is now massive. * Various sound system upgrades, most notably repeaters in W Holts and Other. * A new area has opened up called The Woods. It's basically just some woodland with decorations in the trees. Sometimes there's a bar/food stall in there. And I think there's a treehouse or some walkways up there, but nothing major. It's very chill. *John Peel Tent moved out, to a new field near The Woods and was renamed to Woodsies. There's also a tent in that field called Tree Stage, but I've not been to it, since it was only introduced last year. * As mentioned, Silver Hayes has completely changed. It's much better. The markets on that side of the festival have been rejigged several times and you'll potentially get a bit lost in that part. * The Beat Hotel is gone, but replaced with a similar venue in much the same area. * Block 9 has two fields, one of which contains a _huge_ head that has lasers and projections fired at it. Photos don't do its scale justice. * The Temple is much bigger, but is probably harder to get into because of the aforementioned crowd size increases. * The portaloos are all gone, replaced with more long drops and compost toilets. * Various things have gone from the Green Fields, such as Fluffy Rock Cafe, Manic Organic and the tent that showed some arty films that I can't remember. * The Glade area has had several changes over the years, but is currently a massive tent, not under the trees, called "The Glade", a smaller, open air venue under the trees called "Glade Done" and a walkway, bar and viewing platform for the tent, called Spike (I think it also has some DJ sets on in there, but nothing big) * Williams Green as a venue is gone, replaced by a carhenge sculpture * There's a pier now called Glastonbury On Sea. * Single use plastic cannot be bought on site, resulting in a really quite dramatic improvement in litter levels. I'm sure there's more! -
Few people got spun a few incorrect bits from usually accurate people. Problem with Victorious it does sell a lot of day tickets too and I just don’t see VW being a band that sells them in Portsmouth (APE/Lido/Crystal Palace seem more likely for that) Are Pet Shop Boys about? They’re the sort of act I can see doing there. -

VW were kinda a years gone by act for me. I went to watch then on the Pyramid last time and just wasn't feeling it... saw them a couple of times in their days coming up but I'd take VW, The Prodigy and Pulp with some of the undercard names about. -

So they are, could be the only superstruct event though. I'm sure Richard only played Tramlines this year and I'd wager he got that due to be a northern act. -
There was talk of Vampire Weekend at Truck but seemed to fall through to be replaced by Kasabian. Could they have ended up here instead?
