Arcadia 2023

[gfa]

Anyone seen anything about how the chopper is coming along?

Any guesses / knowledge on names (looking at you, JoeyT!)

Can see Fred Again doing a set on the spider

He doesn't do 'DJ sets' much I think - will do a big show on one of the main stages and then maybe pop up with friends elsewhere.

[Muppetmark]

Skrillex surely

[rwoo]

His Boiler Room set as an example but he’s done a few after parties which have been DJ sets.

Chems have to be a good shout after their covid cancellation.

I guess it’s all dependant on the fall out or lack of it from the World Cup expedition

I don't think there will be any

The spider won’t be back.

Seems to have quietened  down now … guess it depends on Emily and the relationship with arcadia … last time on the vm we heard there might be some protests … will also see if that happens .. June is quite a while away

I hope there is no fall out, 1st year getting tickets and Arcadia / spider is a must see for me.

Glasto just posted this thing about 10 charity auctions - with one being 'to press the button on the arcadia spider'

auctions go up every 30 minutes from noon today onwards so we could potentially see confirmation of the spider being/not being at glasto this year today

It’s gonna be there then … no reason to auction that off if it isn’t …. Spider confirmed

Could easily be an oversight through poor communication i feel

Someone needs to add to the self confirmed thread 😂

Every time you press the button, another migrant worker falls off a scaffolding

The Money Spider

[tigger123]

Emily makes no mention of the spider which is encouraging

[p.pete]

Good comments around it being a shame that these are being ran as auctions rather than raffles - even if just one of them was held back as a raffle it'd feel a bit more inclusive.

Can't imagine they won't have checked these properly before putting them live, i.e. money-spider confirmed.  In accordance with getting a mention in every discussion presumably Fred again on the spider.

I was interested to see how much someone was willing to fork out to press a button but having tickets included distorts it somewhat!

ebay listing up - picture of the spider

Spider confirmed for 2023.

[t0paz]

Way past its sell by date. Quite surprised by this

Distorts yes - but you can still see comparative to the other auctions where it is in the pecking order.  Presumably the bottom two or three are being bought despite the bonus experience
