The Glastonbury festival quiz

[incident]

I think I'm a field out (and I hope so, cos I've no question to ask), but was it The Lost Stage?

Yep, I've just shouted over to the sofa, Neil says yes, you are the winner 😁

[incident]

Ah bollocks.

I had it mentally placed as being where The Unfairground is now.

I'll see if I can think of a question over dinner - if anyone else wants to jump in with one, feel free.

They played the Cabaret Tent for several years.  Clever LED lighting and acrobatics all in darkness.  Who are they?

Yep. The Lost Stage, very obviously lost to everyone's memories.  

I didn't expect that to stump everyone for so long.

i saw one of my favourite-ever Glastonbury sets on there, which was a live set from Nightmares On Wax.

Like having a question, 'Which band had a drummer who always wore red boots that played Avalon in '2011?'

No they held and waved about their LED lights, it was what their act was all about. And they climbed on top of each other.  Nor many bands, even with drummers in red boots do that.

we might be in the dark on this one ....

[grumpyhack]

The act were Feeding The Fish.  They were in the dark and very clever.  Best bit is at about 1'40"

Over to anyone comes up with a question.

I’ve got one. 

Which act caused the path through the Woods to be closed due to congestion when news broke they would play an unannounced set in 2017?

Correct, they were playing the JPT and it was chaos over that side of the site.
My parents are massive fans and they just about made it into the tent but got separated and spent the whole set apart, no clue where the other was, but actually only about 10-15 foot away from each other. 
 

Your go...

Ok.... I think this is an easy one.... Why is Pennards Hill Gate closed for half and hour on the Wednesday night of the festival?

Correct, over to you!

OK- what was the name of the company that was providing the glamping accommodation where Worthy View is now that had to pull out (went bust I believe) just before the 2011 festival and Michael stepped in to take it over?
