When is the line up offically announced ?

[eFestivals]

I'm pretty sure that the whole line-up is usually public knowledge by now (although not officially announced).

no it's not.

I reckon that this year there's about a similar amount known to previous years - perhaps a little less this year, but not a huge amount.

It is always released in the July edition of Q Magazine (the one out now is the June one cos they are awkward like that) the last one was released 28th April so 27th May sounds about right. If anyone can find out the release date of the next Q Mag then that is our date!

The whole lineup was leaked on the Grauniad website at the end of April 2 years ago

no it wasn't.

and last year most of the line up was published in May to try to improve poor ticket sales.

yep, that's correct.

I think there will be surprises as a very good job has been done at keeping things under wraps this year (Please note; I'm not intimating that it's an orchestrated plan, just that there's been fewer self confirmations etc, or certainlyit feels that way)

Subject: line-up when?

Hi Glasto,

Just wondering when the line-up will come out.

Bought my ticket months ago and still only have an idea of about 5 bands that are playing.

Thanks

Rob

I read on the Rolf Harris Facebook group that the lineup will be announced on Sunday 17th May, although I suppose I can wait another week until 26th May, at least I'll have Dot-to-Dot Festival to keep me distracted on 24th May.

[Beaver89]

normally its gets leaked before q hits the shops

[kinglewi]

I always thought it got announced in the guardian paper on like a wednesday the month before. As well as in June's Q

[eFestivals]

Notice that Mr Efestivals did nothing to deny this...............

- but I didn't deny the post where someone says Eavis had told them 27th either.

FOUND IT:

righty ho, i was a bit mistaken. it was not neil who said the lineup would be released on the date i thought...BUT, this is what he did say:

"The line-up will not be announced on 17th May - at least, not according to those very nice people who run Glastonbury festival.

Add around ten days to that date. "

[mike99]

[pedmills]

It will be Monday 1st June. Unless there is a leak.

[Brizzle]

well I'm glad I waited all day for that.

I can guarantee the line up will not be announced on the 30th of February - around 2 months or so afterwards... probably
