Ah, new map day is well up there.

It's like the room of requirement - the new map only ever drops when you most need it (i.e. a shitty day) and comes totally out of nowhere. 

Map day is second only to full line up drop day for me.

Sacrilege! There's no thread more exciting than Glastocam during the build. Fence Day is a highlight of the year.

The day they started painting the Radiohead logo was truly special.

Second only to the Foo Fighters Cheese & Grain thread and one man’s valiant (and successful) attempt to get into that gig.

I really don't get the love for the dropping of the map. Until they do something drastic like swap the truth stage with the pyramid it's rarely worth properly thinking about.

Madness. Finding all the little changes they make every year is brilliant. Just builds the anticipation for me. 

[SwedgeAntilles]

Individual Area Announcements and Clashfinder are the highlights for me. 

Love the individual stage posters with this being my favourite so far. Looks fkn great, like it's its own mini festival

When you look at it like that, it really does hit home just how much there is going on across the site.  That would genuinely be a festival in its own right 😍

It really is - especially when you consider the ribbon tower, rabbit hole, bimble inn, crows nest and the art installation.

It's true of many Glastonbury areas though - Theatre & Circus, Kidzfield, SE Corner, Greenfields could all stand on their own as specialist individual festivals.

I always describe it as more of a collection of festivals.

Last year was an eye opener for us, we went for a wander around the site in April just before they closed the site down to the public, they had just put the dress on the pyramid, had started building the bee hive thing at Greenpeace and had started putting in the foundations for Pangea. Other than those there was nothing of real note that had started being built but when we turned up on the sunday before the festival for work the change and amount of work being put in was remarkable. I know there were issues timewise with the Pier etc but they do a fantastic job of putting that place together

I totally forgot about the bee hive, I wanted to see it. Do we know if it's a permanent thing?

[CaledonianGonzo]

I think it is, yeah.

[wro_lap]

Let’s not forget the “when the fuck is the EE app dropping?” chat.

Every time I see that I am reminded that I missed out on the Flaming Lips, a big regret after seeing the tv coverage when we got home! 

[Ridin' Solo]

I still think it's going to be Jason Derulo.

I spent a lot of time very late one night/early morning walking around this structure admiring the angles.

Only if he finishes his set with The Rum Tum Tugger.
