I don't have any pictures, but this is from a post on some Glastonbury-related forum:

Pyramid Stage Looks Interesting

As well as the two extra gantries either side of the Pyramid stage, the stage currently has a huge video screen as a backdrop with two smaller screens on the stage itself. There are the usual screens on either side of the stage waiting to be winched up plus a further two which look like they slot in above or below.

From @BigWave's twitter account.

 

[coolian2]

that's rather interesting.

A. Met the interference lot earlier at The Park. All 5 of them really nice bunch. Hopefully see them tomorrow night after the gig.
B. Just at the pyramid now. Saw what looks like a video run for the fly. The mad flashing words stuff is back and it looks amazing haha . All the band's equipment's out i think. And the massive back screen on stage is split into half a big screen and the other half two smaller ones. And two smaller screens on the front of the stage itself as well as the two big screens at either side. Watching the words flash in silence is pretty great in itself! zoo tv+glastonbury=a great night

 

[gareth brown]

Only just saw the post above say half of what i just posted sorry! Using the internet on a phone here!

 

[mama cass]

big night tonight! have a fabby time all of you!!!

 

[Anji]

[dan_smee]

uh-oh...

U2 face protest at Glastonbury

 

[KUEFC09U2]

from the glastonbury twitter

The instrumental of She Moves In Myaterious Ways is blasting out from the Pyramid speakers. Have U2 confused am with pm?

 

[KUEFC09U2]

uh-oh...

U2 face protest at Glastonbury

So basically they are going to try and ruin it for everyone?

And if its a protest against the band for moving its taxes from Ireland, why just focus on Bono?

 

[dan_smee]

Don't they pay their personal taxes in Ireland?

They should just fuck off?
