Trying to remember when they introduced the one way system into the SE Corner at night. Was that there in 2013?

Yep. 1st introduced that year.

I didn't go last year, but here are all the more specific changes I can think of other than the vibe or drugs:

 

* Arcadia has moved to near the bottom entrance to The Park. It's also now a dragonfly rather than a spider.

* There's a Co-op now, near the Other Stage. It doesn't sell alcohol.

* The Other Stage is now massive.

* Various sound system upgrades, most notably repeaters in W Holts and Other.

* A new area has opened up called The Woods. It's basically just some woodland with decorations in the trees.  Sometimes there's a bar/food stall in there. And I think there's a treehouse or some walkways up there, but nothing major. It's very chill.

*John Peel Tent moved out, to a new field near The Woods and was renamed to Woodsies. There's also a tent in that field called Tree Stage, but I've not been to it, since it was only introduced last year.

* As mentioned, Silver Hayes has completely changed. It's much better. The markets on that side of the festival have been rejigged several times and you'll potentially get a bit lost in that part.

* The Beat Hotel is gone, but replaced with a similar venue in much the same area.

* Block 9 has two fields, one of which contains a _huge_ head that has lasers and projections fired at it.  Photos don't do its scale justice.

* The Temple is much bigger, but is probably harder to get into because of the aforementioned crowd size increases.

* The portaloos are all gone, replaced with more long drops and compost toilets.

* Various things have gone from the Green Fields, such as Fluffy Rock Cafe, Manic Organic and the tent that showed some arty films that I can't remember.

* The Glade area has had several changes over the years, but is currently a massive tent, not under the trees, called "The Glade", a smaller, open air venue under the trees called "Glade Done" and a walkway, bar and viewing platform for the tent, called Spike (I think it also has some DJ sets on in there, but nothing big)

* Williams Green as a venue is gone, replaced by a carhenge sculpture 

* There's a pier now called Glastonbury On Sea.

* Single use plastic cannot be bought on site, resulting in a really quite dramatic improvement in litter levels.

 

 

I'm sure there's more!

RIP Manic Organic.😢 Was always my favourite place to eat.

They'd better not get rid of the long drops

 

The long drops have a larger capacity, so many of them don't need to be emptied during the festival (at least, not as often)
