Spoilt is how I would have put it myself...

Some Sherlock on Twitter looking at air traffic notices couldn't wait to publicly post it.

 

This is why we can't have nice things 😄

Crew had been told not share anything about it, was supposed to be a surprise for the punters arriving on the day as far as we have been told.

Seems a far better idea to have it announced to me. Should move a few people from SC/ Park to the Pyramid this year

That was me 😛 

And you mean NOTAMs, that EVERYBODY who operates a drone, or flies any form of vehicle, should be checking every time they fly... It's literally a legal responsibility for tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people, even hobbyists, to check those notices daily... 

Was hardly going to stay a secret was it. 🙈😂 

And how is this any different to lineup leaks, secret set leaks, secret venue leaks... Come on, it's kind of what we do here. Only difference here is that they literally had to leak it themselves on a government service used by thousands every day. 😂

If they hadn't announced it most people would have been on the south side of the site waiting for the fireworks, so they would have ended up with a crap view of the surprise drone show from the best part of a mile away. That would have been a big mistake I think.

The display area is beyond the fireworks. They’ve only said pyramid field to spread the crowds from the usual positions of Kings Meadow and Park.

Blast from the past - this is what the old webcam looked like:

calling clever people who know stuff: is the rave tree further in to Greenpeace field and the DJ booth now facing the camera rather that at right angles to it? it hink someone had mentioned a new stage here so maybe that's why. But should give more space to dance?

Isn't the display area north of the Pyramid field?

 

Or did I misunderstand this post:

Yes. It's to the side this year, rather than the middle of the field.

This is interesting because it really opens up the stage to bigger crowds, but detracts from the intimacy that the enclosed-ness gave it.

[Julesdude]

Is this area hospitality or is it like a backstage area for Silver Hayes area or something? Caravans have been grouped there for yonks

Is it just me or is the Leftfield tent going up pretty late this year? Five days from gates and it’s still not up.

Poles with Flags went up a few days ago, they just cba with the tent bit I guess.

Just noticed that the cider bus tent has gone up, so won't be long for the old girl. Cider bus is final piece of the jigsaw for me
