That's quite a significant thing.

He's either worthy of a stage being named after him or isn't, and the amount of press attention his bad deeds had shouldn't play a part in that determination. 

 

I personally think the whole area needs a rejig on the lines of the Park area. 

Call the whole area "the woods". Have the big tent still, link in more coherently with the forest next door, a couple of smaller stages, the bar and tea tent. 

Make a nice entrance sign at the top of lower mead and also at Michael's Mead. 

 

 

decent idea

honestly dont think the woods up there are utilised enough

They should rename it after another iconic figure from British Pop Culture past.

How about:

The Mr Noseybonk Stage 

 

[Tranquility of Solitude]

As the bar there is already called the Tolpuddle, how about the Tolpuddle Stage? Avalon stage/bar, West Holts stage/bar.

Tolpuddle martyrs were Dorset based, quite close.

Why must you be the way that you are?

How about the Timothy Claypole Stage:

It did look like the area was about to get some love a few years back but then it looked desolate again last year, I assume for budget type reasons.

It wouldn't be hard to make it pretty magical there.

Nonce-sensical reasons aside, a rename is needed cos the current one simply sounds shit.

 

Edit: CalGon out here bringing back my childhood nightmares, one by one.

It could do with more than a rename, could do with a whole revamp, so it's more than a tent in a field

The Chimney Bottler Tent

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

The Zane Lowe Arena 

[CaledonianGonzo]

The Grotbags Gazebo 

[dotdash79]

The Frank Sidebottom tram shed

The Herr Flick of the Gestapo Memorial Marquee

Imagine one day a stage might be named after Michael... But hopefully a long time away

this would be sick, one of the only thing glasto misses out a lot on is wooded areas, sure theres the glade but that got toned down anyway. they only have a few wooded areas they can use so they need to make the most of them. i guess the JP woods is very near pilton

Ambient evenings in the woods maybe, some audio-visual artists working up there

was it not called something like the new bands tent previously ? 

The tent is not so new now so it’d have to be something like the middle aged bands tent. Could be a goer.

It was a tent that was new not the music.
