somecoolusername Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 So Emily's NME interview confirms it was done with the webcam in mind: Emily Eavis: “It’s been a busy 48 hours. Stanley Donwood, who is the artist who does Radiohead’s artwork, but who we work with on Glastonbury artwork as well – he designed that bear logo of Radiohead’s. When we were thinking about how we could announce this, the idea came up that we could do this. You’d be surprised how a lot of people look at the farm all year on the webcam. They check in on it on a daily basis. We thought maybe we could use the webcam as a way for people to find out. We found some amazing scenic painters called Jackie and Nigel – they do lots of work with us in The Park area of the festival. They came down, started yesterday morning at nine o’clock and finished today at midday, and it’s just been slowly kind of evolving. What’s been really exciting about it is that people have been able to watch it grow through the webcam.” Read more at http://www.nme.com/blogs/emily-eavis-glastonbury-2017-q-a-1697208#JyXjYHHbMd0xIEpv.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 They've mentioned the camera on their Facebook page, which suggests to me they're up to something. Given that Nice Dave and the lads have announced a number of European festivals this week it;'s hardly going to be a shock is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy101 Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 BBC weather says that the area is foggy http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2640282 The only logical conclusion is that they want an even bigger reveal for this headliner than the last and instead of the webcam having a 'malfunction' like other suggested for Radiohead, they have devised a way to change weather for significant portion of the South West. Bravo I say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they're waiting to reveal a shit ton of red lights wrapped up around the Pyramid stage? An announcement would be better at night in that instance too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyhana22 Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Glastocam shows a beautiful morning on the Farm this morning. Just love to look and wonder at the speed of recovery of the ground, when I think about how knackered it was just a few short months ago.

Glastobuddy Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Not sure if i've been using a different webcam link to others for the past year or so (used to get a fullscreen image straight away) but it's changed for me today and now links into what seems to be a dedicated BBC music Glasto page (that i've personally never seen before)? I've previously used this: http://glastocam.external.bbc.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
