i think there is a man in denim shorts down there at the moment!! (13:30 - just to the right of the 2 bins)

It would be lovely to have a message from the great man during the BBC coverage

So those big-ass trailers, inside the heras fencing - are they hospitality type things normally seen in the back stage area for artists? With maybe a production suite round near where the cider bus goes?  Is that the general thinking? 

And is Taylor a serious proposition, or just a pipe-dream?

They are portacabins (they get taken off the trailers) and are used for many things, from site offices to artist dressing rooms.

How long does the pyramid take to get dressed ? ... I reckon they can do that in a couple of days ... eyes open for cherry picker action ...

It takes quite a while for the stage to be built. And given there's a special guest on the bill in two days, I don't think the Pyramid is going to be dressed. Unless they performed on the grass? If it is getting dressed, it would have to start right away.

yep ... i wasn't suggesting the whole thing ... just the skin ... was thinking on the grass ...

They could be doing it with the frame in the background, like they did for the Foos announcement?

This is just too ridiculous for words. Struggling to understand my emotions over this! I’m excited and upset in equal measure.

Can't see that happening. They surely would get a stampede of people turning up so not worth the risk. Plus doubt she would play to an empty field

I can see that ... but I can’t get my head around what they are doing ... it doesn’t need all the stuff in the cider bus area plus all the wagons that turned up this morning and the generators for a radio broadcast ? And what’s this ? 

[BrokenDown]

If Coldplay manage to headline the festival the year that wasn’t even meant to be a festival it would amuse me greatly.

As I said earlier in this thread, it's probably for The One Show. They were scheduled to do something this week in the original press release but as of now, nothing has been released as to what they are doing and they have shows on Thursday & Friday.

Also have just noticed on the information about the 3 shows on BBC Two at 8pm, they all say about live acoustic sets, so it si most probably that those 3 shows are coming live from the farm.

BBC Two - Friday
"Jo Whiley and Mark Radcliffe celebrate the weekend that would have marked 50 years of the Glastonbury Festival with an inviting blend of great performances from the archives and live acoustic sets from contemporary artists."

BBC Two - Saturday
"Clara Amfo and Lauren Laverne present a jam-packed show celebrating Glastonbury Festival on the weekend that would have marked its 50th year. Tune in for highlights from the festival’s musical vaults, a special live acoustic performance from a contemporary artist and a reminder of one of the unique performances that have happened in the BBC’s Glastonbury studio over the years."

BBC Two - Sunday
"Clara Amfo and Lauren Laverne present a musical journey celebrating the weekend that would have marked 50 years of the Glastonbury Festival with an inviting blend of great performances from the archives and the odd live acoustic set from contemporary artists dropping in."

Next question ... what counts as a contemporary artist ?  Just about anything ... looking it up

The one show are filming people's Glastonbury At home! They are in my friends back garden at this very moment! 

[scaryclaireyfairy]

I'll be shocked if this doesn't involve Chris Martin in some way.

My guess is they'll be artists from BBC introducing lineups that they have connections to. Maybe similar to their big weekend lineup

Unlikely there will be any "A grade" artist there.

Good spot. That'll be it then. Out of upvotes today, sadly.

Interesting...

[northernringo]

I wonder if the winner of the emerging talent competition will be doing the performance

What else have they got to do? It's not as if anyone is packing out an arena. I'm expecting a bit more than BBC Introducing. Maybe not "A Grade", but probably a little better than you seem to be suggesting.
