The only venue at the festival where I've seen more than two police officers. At one point, there were a dozen of them. Not unusual at some festivals but quite disconcerting to see at Glastonbury. That said, Elrow is always a laugh. Had to rack my brain to remember what that was - finally remembered walking past it during the festival, wasn't it in a oddly central location? It had a Creamfields (I might be unfair there) vibe about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashl Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 Are the Truth Stage and Hell Stage both in Shangri-la? I feel like I've never seen the Hell Stage but I must have, is it in the South most point (looking at the map)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we think the reorientation of the other stage increased the fields capacity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deaf Nobby Burton Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) Re the Other stage vs the Pyramid capacity, I just did a very rudimentary overlay of the outline of the field on top of the Pyramid to the same scale, it definitely seems to be at least 50% the size of the pyramid: Edit: This is probably a better representation of comparable useable space: Edited April 4, 2022 by Deaf Nobby Burton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatAmmy Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 The hell stage and the truth stage are the same stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incident Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 The tent used for JP is 11,808 before Staging etc, so will be more like 8-9,000 as you'll lose at least 25%. Likewise the tent used for the Acoustic (4 pole Rounded version) is 7,808 without staging so will be 5-6,000 after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do we reckon then, 80-90k? More? Less? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do we reckon then, 80-90k? More? Less? I’m not sure because I guess it depends on how much of the width is actually usable, if you flip the image of the other stage instead of just rotating it round, then it only takes up about 50% of the pyramid field of you work to the same angle the Pyramid field is in terms of its width: But then is the pyramid field just narrower and that extra width of the other is proper usable space? I reckon you can safely say it’s at least 50% though so 60k minimum? Edited April 4, 2022 by Deaf Nobby Burton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotdash79 Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 I’m sure I’ve seen around 70000 for the other stage. But that might have been on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotdash79 Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 In fact wouldn’t this information be in the event plan? failing that we know the capacity of bst so can do a rough comparison for that area size and totals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other stage definitely needs more speakers "can't remember what they're called" , if there's a crosswind and your not down the front then the sound is shite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
