I suspect the SE Corner will see some changes. I would not be surprised if the Block 9 team do something different with the IICON space.

Iicon was new last time wasn’t it ?  What were u thinking ? Surely they would keep it ? 

[giantkatestacks]

I went up to the spike during WP and thought it was very different with new levels and a load more decking towards the Greenpeace field

It was new but it had mixed reviews from what I remember. Largely due to the sound system so it could just be that they might look to improve it next time around.

Not really a site change but I'm convinced they will use up the additional attendance that they were granted prior to 2019. Something like 15k? They need to pull in extra revenue, it's been approved, why wouldn't they?

7,000. It does seem logical that they'll use it, as all indications were that it was going to be used in 2020.. What we don't know is whether those 7,000 tickets were already sold in the October 2019 sale or not.

No, that's NYC downlow.

In the trees just off the old railway line, next to the Glade and opposite the bottom corner of Pennards

I think I've walked past the lights at night and always thought "that looks fun", but never been.

 

On broader site changes are Avalon and silver Hayes due a bit of a revamp?

when did they move the Avalon Cafe to the top of the field.? wasnt that last time (or maybe the time before?).. You used to be able to cut through to West Holts next to it previously.. but now Glasto Latino blocks it off

Doesn't the Rabbit Hole change its position each year within The Park! And the secret bar!!! Which Ive never managed to get the password too, but its good fun trying to get it!!

The Rabbits grew up between the Ribbon Tower and the G Sign and then eventually got so big that they rolled rolled down the hill in 2019 to where Bimble grew up.

Bimble moved up the hill to where the Rabbits came from and the Worm Hole appeared by the BBC. 

The Park generally makes a few minor changes and additions each year which keeps it fresh.

The stage was incredible but the actual empty field and sound made it lack atmospere. It felts disconnected to the audience (us and them). Also having underground/ less known DJs playing such a massive field meant it never took off. Not sure what the answer is TBH but I'm sure they'll sort it.

Another place I’ve not been in due to queues and lack of toilet facilities

It has toilet facilities now. Worth the queue but as with any venue with a varied music policy you’ll want to check the line up to make sure it’s worth it for you. Sunrise there is magical!

Cheers that’s helpful … no chance of me making sunrise and unless there is something my friend wants to see on Pangea lineups tend to go out the window once headliners finish … we just bimble around getting drawn into wherever the feeling takes us

My thought with IICON was they purposely didn’t put obvious road block DJs in there just to test it out to see how it all worked. It wouldn’t surprise me if they chucked some bigger names in there this time around.

Hopefully the word will be out that the SE corner doesn't get quite as rammed anymore.

Pangea seems to have a strong lineup which should help ... although that seems to get quite chaotic on the pathways up it seems to have lots of room once up there

What I'm saying is that it's gone the other way - they added this great big new field, but couldn't fill it.  Meanwhile, Pangea was way too packed and no fun at all.
