Stab in the dark, but could the BBC be broadcasting their links from the (empty) site this weekend?

That would just be asking for trouble and a lot of people to turn up. 

maybe they are putting security on to stop people who want to go to the farm, didn’t they do that in 2018?

[incident]

Don't remember if they did it before, but yeah that'd make more sense.

[Pinhead]

I reckon that's a good guess and excited at the prospect even if it is a link from an empty load of fields.... Still, they are those fields aren't they!

More activity this morning, some interesting vehicles that don't look particularly like farm vehicles or anything for construction (could be wrong though!)

[Dukeicon]

They do look quite like outside broadcast lorries.

I did wonder if there will be some wee secret things going on at the site - and the "special guests" on that BBC line up poster - is that sets from previous years they cant confirm yet - or will there be some wee live things broadcast (this has probably been discussed elsewhere I assume?)

I just posted this in the BBC Glastonbury thread about the special guests.

Special Guest Slots are as follows

Thu 25 - 21:00 - 23:30 (1 hour 30 mins)
Sun 28 - 15:30 - 16:30 (1 hour)
Mon 29 - 13:30 - 15:00 (1 hour 30 mins)

So I would say that it's probably two headliners and one Sunday Legends.

Yeah - I knew you would have been on the case and I hadn't made it to that thread yet

Looks like a lot going on.  If it is the BBC it would seem a lot of effort and outlay given there is nothing actually happening. 

[Skelts]

There also seems to be some activity behind the trees where the cider bus normally sets up?

[Northtim]

Third lorry incoming and lot of stuff going on in field near markets.  Big part of Pymild filed fenced off.  Summat is going on!

They'd have budgeted for a huge OB this year. So probably using some of the savings for this.

Yeah - looks to me like there is a mini production village being set up there. Lots of grey portacabins with blue at the edges - these are normally interstage behind the Pyramid.

Generators just turned up too by the looks of it.  Something is going on..... 

[Wellyboot]

This makes me so excited and so sad at the same time

Definately ... the cows look like they are in discussions about it ...

Wouldn’t it be nice if some villagers were invited down to the farm to act as a socially distancing audience?

Arguing what stage to go to and where and when to eat.

Up for this?  See how close we get, and can report back...

It would but i should think it would also lead to a lot of people seeing it on the telly and taking that as permission to all pile down there

[pauladam]

Do we think Pyramid might get dressed up for this? - Maybe in a wee gold number??? (I did wonder if that was on the cards from last year)

I could send down some gold tinsel from the loft I guess to wrap around a bit of the frame?

Only if you take the back legs
