That field has surely had many indoor venues over the years!

Nothing like the hangar indoor venues available these days. I can’t work out if that’s what we should be expecting?!

I was hoping for a hanger or something description, they've put a cover on it now and it looks like a catering tent. Not particularly exciting!

Well, that’s a bit disappointing!

Most venues at boomtown are like that but with some decor on the outside to hide it.

And look incredible. I'm pretty confident that a much heralded new venue in Silver Hayes is not going to remain looking simply like a big white marquee.

I expect a few of the circus style tents to go up this week

Indeed, NYC Downlow is this.

The site looks absolutely glorious this morning.

Wow they have thrown those WV tents up quickly, no idea how many people that have doing it, but it seems early to me

[Julesdude]

What a stunningly beautiful day the site looks to have had today. A perfect glowing sunrise and sunset, and practically no clouds inbetween.

I think the scaffolding in the for ground.  I think this is a little area the BBC use for some interviews

Yes, the bbc sometimes do a broadcast from one side of the site then over to one at the farm overlooking the pyramid.  Think it’s somewhere then can exile Mark Radcliffe to so then get him out the main studio at the park😊😉

Sorry yes I meant the recent scaffold structure in the foreground.

I bumped into Mark a couple of years ago and asked him if he was doing Glasto and he abruptly said no he'd been sacked by the Beeb.

The other broadcast area is next to the ribbon tower in the Park field.

What are these folks doing....? 

 

I always get suspicious when random people turn up on the Pyramid field with 'stuff'....

And they also look like they're taking photos of the signposts (or filming them?) with cameras on tripods 🤔

They'll be lazer powered theodolites to ensure the signposts are pointing in precisely the right direction

Could be filming for BBC coverage trailer.....?

[HotChipWillBreakYourLegs]

What's this bit of gantry at the back of the Pyramid field???

 

Must be a temporary structure or just being stored before being put in it's rightful place.
