Coincidentally looks very similar to the large tower in the Arcadia field… multi location drone launchers 😀

cant see any sign of the sign .... maybe theyve take it down while @Gnomicide is at bearded theory

It's still there, just largely obscured by a marquee.

Pilton force field.    Activate!!!

[Spindles]

I reckon those 3 towers have got to be the Coldplay projection setup they had in 2011.

We've just had one massive rain downpour - some of the heaviest rain I've seen. Looks like another is on it's way.

Some miserable shots this afternoon... Fence has started to progress again and the internal fences to close off staff/hospitality camping has begun.

 

Interesting theories around the scaffold towers!

 

There was a crane around the furthest right yesterday which seemed to be lifting a shelter or platform onto the top: https://www.tievolu.co.uk/glasto/GlastoWebcamTool.html?2024-05-25T18:10:00&x=4340.82&y=1597.17&z=1.3822

It will happen at some point, if festivals like wildnerness can do it, so can Glasto. Greener than fireworks too! 

They did an awesome drone show at SGP as well last year apparently. Definitely would be amazing at Glasto.
The youtube presentation on how they did the projections on the Pyramid last time is fascinating. Have to wonder would they go through all that again with the huge cost involved. It was a lot all those years ago, imagine what it would be now.

Does look like projections will be the thing though.

I guess with new technologies available and the fact it wouldn’t be the first time the price might be cheaper … Chris Martin would pay 💰

Hope it's nothing like Bearded rain this year - 30 hours non stop. 3 weeks to build an Azores high now...

Unapproved ones are. But the festival could easily get approval.

The BBC were using filming drones last year 

 

Might be worth noting that after watching Coldplay at Big Weekend and trying to send friends a video of their song "People of the Pride" this came up. Incredible drone video. 

First one starts at 44s in but the main one is 1:27 (although they're clearly using a few).

But if they'll be used for Coldplay anyway then the festival may as well use them themselves too?

Love the speculation about what the towers are for, I’m here for it.

 

To throw a spanner in the works they could be for Dua Lipa rather than Coldplay. Recent interviews imply that she is treating this as a career defining gig and she really understands Glastonbury. So I think it’s possible that it’s her going large with the production this year.

Vile weather on-site this morning, visibility not great for us watchers.

[gooner1990]

Another depressing view on the camera! ☔

[deadponyclub]

Not helpful for the site build, but my logic is that more rain now = less rain as we get closer to the festival 🤷🏻‍♂️

[BeddyDriver]

Considering how wet it was when I drove up the A303 through Podimore at 5am this morning, the view from the camera is nowhere near as bad as I imagined it would be !

we don't have to be paid meteorologists to know that this is just basic sound logic
