Webcam has been off since 15:30, this was the last image at 15:30.

Maybe so we  couldn't spy on Emily.

I wonder if it'll be off for a lot of the time this year, since they have lots of surprises they won't want us to see just yet:  new Arcadia, Glastonbury-on-Sea, and new Block 9

This would be a bit gutting, but probably the right move really. As much as I'm loving the buildup and snippets get me excited, it'd probably be better to keep them as a surprise and see them for the first time in the flesh...

we are going to get to see them anyway webcam or no webcam social media is just to big these days to stop photos getting out ... even when the site becomes locked down 

[Pinhead]

Is is wickedfaerie who sets up her own camera some years as well that has a better view of the SE Corner?

[Crazyfool01]

my money is on it going down until friday ... then it will go back on with the pyramid fully clothed and Glastonbury with the more exclusive photos of the rest of the dressing process ... we only got one side

Exactly, they can't ban phones from the site so its inevitable. Though the webcam doesn't show the whole site only a bit of it so maybe some of the new stuff will be out of shot.

Camera is back on

Back on at 19:10

They appear to have overslept today.  The silly billies.... ?

[MrHew]

I hope that them getting her ready so early this year doesn't mean my excitement peaks too soon.

bit wet on the farm this morning ... not much pyramid action so far ... maybe the dress is in the tumble drier

Muddy puddles? Is that a hint peppa pig headlining the kids zone.? Cryptic clue perhaps like Radiohead last time.

Nobody asked for this but here are some of the key dates from 2017 from the webcam:

April 21st    Pyramid starts getting dressed
April 24th    Ribbon tower
May 5th       Park Stage
May 9th       Pyramid Stage screen structures
May 10th     Fence starts going up
May 12th     Other Stage work starts

Should give us a sense of what to expect next!

I reckon they're putting it out early to check it and check the frame nd ground fixtures but also to give it a clean in all the rain!

It poured down here (about 20m from the site) pretty much all of last night and this morning, I suspect it's too boggy for the cherry pickers right now.

We know that the fence build will start this year on May 1st (per Emily on Rob Da Bank's podcast).

I recall that the Pyramid got dressed for some farming show, then was stripped again before being re-dressed closer to the festival. I think that was 2017, but can't be sure.

I think they are itching to get on with it after the fallow year ... everything seems to have shifted forward a bit

No complaints from me! I love the obsessive webcam watching build up. Makes me feel like I'm back in the Motherland sooner.

Good morning, everyone.

Something's moving there ?

Am I the only one finding GlastoCam watching very soothing, almost mesmerizing? Not very conducive to productivity, but the farm's beautiful green is a lot better than the white walls of my office.
