I've only just noticed the sizeable mobile phone transmitter at the far left of the panorama - am I late to that?

Yup, it wasn't there in 2017 so they might be doing some additional bolstering of the EE network.

Is it not the dreaded 5g mast that is causing so much controversy amongst some?

Well 5G is a load of little antennas as opposed to big masts, but they might be putting a kind-of 5G network in.

Of course, only a few people will be using the 5G network, so they'll get hyperfast internet!

I'm switching from Three to EE just for the festival - only £20 for the weekend and will hopefully be able to contact people!

I love it when it's all lit up at night!

do they work overnight on the build ? cant remember ... although when I looked at 5am it looked like a lorry was turning up with a delivery  

[Crazyfool01]

its bonkers to think in 26 days time that this will be a fully functioning city built for our entertainment .... can you just imagine the time it takes to do one small element of the build ... and nothing here is small scale ..look at that fuckoff great big crane thats going to have things spinning and jetting fire ... and the gold sparkly pier that has barely been started ( well it doesn't look like it on the webcam ) ... these are just the huge things without all the creative / humorous touches that help make Glastonbury so special ... I was thinking today that its taken me a couple of years to get together my fancy-dress with a suit and a couple of hats and in a few short weeks they build a city ... wow just wow ... so looking forward to it now

It is immense. I know people on site already and I’m privy to some of the stuff going on.

Remember that there at 1000’s and 1000’s of builders and creatives for the next 26 days to build the best TEMPORARY city in the world for what is essentially a five day party.

Talking of which, are you involved in the wormhole and is the name a co-incidence?

I didn't realise the numbers involved ... do you know how many people it is on some of the areas ? where are you going to be based this year ? wormhole or rabbit hole ... must pop in and say cheers for some fancy dress tips

its just incredible and I totally understand Michael and Emilys enthusiasm for the back garden project .... im trying to think of some ideas for pangea once it has been built ... it would just be incredible if they implemented one of my ideas ...

Coincidence. I’ve never had so many private messages asking me for intelligence. Nothing to do with me but it does look cool.

I understand there are 70,000 onsite crew helping the party happen. Obviously this is the peak number. It’ll basically be increasing onsite daily from now on. 

? ? for me. Yes I’d love to say hi. Never quite sure of my shifts till much nearer the time. But ping me if you’re in the area and pop out and find you.
