Hopefully we'll get a nicer comparison pic should the rain clear later!

Looks a bit bleak at the moment but seems the next few days will dry things out.

Looks like they might be something else. I know there’s not ‘show’ this year but it could be AV related? 

Also the main structure has acquired a belly/planet!

I think the belly is the booth.

I thought theres always been two. The far one was there in 2015 as it’s where we were for 2 many djs

Now I'm wondering about the "mirror and light walkthrough" at the Park Entrance. Is that just the coloured on one side flowers or something new?

Noticed this earlier! Definitely sounds like a new entrance display to me.

And eyes. 

 

I'm not letting this eyes theory that everyone* is talking about go until proved otherwise.

There seems to be some sort of split/double pit arrangement at the Pyramid, or has it had that before? I know they do it at Download and others to stop surging and circle pits. Guess it’s stopped the Kylie mosh

Based on The webcam I think that’s fencing while they’re putting up the goal posts and screens.

Will post these at the end of each day until Monday as it's quite cool to flick between the images. Best we're going to get in terms of weather today I think.

2019 - now:

2017 - same time before the festival:

2016 - same time before the festival:

Am slightly concerned that 2016 looks quite nice in that picture, we know how that turns out, I thought the damage had been done by this stage?

Is that "same time" as in 8 days before gates open? Or as in 18 June? As those are two very different things

8 days before, correct.

Don’t be too concerned about the weather in the pics as the State of the Ground thread shows conditions are decent. 2016 must just have been a let-up in the couple of weeks of hell.

Looking forward to looking into the longdrops from the side of the pier.
