Wonder why there haven't been any photos put up of the build on the official site as of yet this year? 

Usually get quite a few in the run up

It is very busy today, loads of bins painted and loads put out awaiting painting, venues going up and loads of stuff going in.  Tractors working very hard delivering to correct locations.

its also a dust bath.

Looks like Worthy View has got a lot of their tents up today. And the tipi field in the foreground has started.

Glade Lounge and Spaceport going up quickly...

I'm really confused. What is that? It's not...John Peel? Is it?

If it is, I am seriously buggered in terms of understanding the relative positions from the angle of the webcam!

Thanks, Jumbo - from Glastomap it seemed like it had to be, but it looked the wrong shape - almost like a mini-JPT!

I think this is BBC Introducing tent going up...or Pussy Parlure 

[Joshuwarr]

Thought the Wow tent was bigger than that! At least it always feels big when about 10,000 people try and ram into it on Thursday night...

I didn't!  I had it in my head as a circular tent.

For anyone interested, this is what the site looked like on this date last year...

[watsonjm]

Festival is a few days earlier this year so makes sense for them to be a bit further ahead in the build.

[Joshuwarr]

If you fiddle about with the date and times in the old link you can even see how busy some of the campsites are just after gates open

The above is 9:30AM on the Wednesday  As you can see Pennards looks almost full by that point!
