Think we saw them cleaning this one on the camera the other day so would imagine its definitely not new!

Ah. Prob about due. Sometimes it shrinks in the sun and looks tighter.

I'd imagine after being in storage it relaxes and then needs to be tightened taught at the anchor points over a few days once fitted.

I think you are right there. Prob they re tighten a few days later maybe?

I'm no engineer but all fabrics relax over time I think?  The CCTV will no doubt tell us. Given how obsessively it's monitored!

Pyramid skin looks pinned differently, or maybe its even a new skin. I mean the old one must date from 2000?

Looks like when you take a brand new work shirt out of the packet. Even after ironing you can still see the fold lines

Wind has been blowing from the north/East recently, rather than the west like normal. That’s why it looks “inflated”, where normally the other none webcam side would look like that.

That was my thinking. It's just the wind.

I also wonder if it's had a wash as prep for lighting or projections maybe 🤔

I was wondering about projections too, like Coldplay in 2011.

That ain't the former WG tent.  WG was 2 flags and plain red.  May be bigger than previously, but it doesn't look THAT much bigger.  Hard to tell at this distance I suppose.
