Zane will just come on and bash through it before Newsbeat starts, that's what he did last year anywho.

Last year didn't NME have like a slideshow on their site of bands that were playing just before the poster came out? I thought it was always released with tickets in the past?

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Yeah NME f**ked up and released most of the bands in the announcement at about 5, can't see them doing it again this year though.

I remember in 08 they had a news story link right at the bottom of the page that said "Metallica, Rage Against the Machine and The Killers for Reading and Leeds"

They'll spill it somehow during the day for the traffic. They probably have an unofficial 'arrangement' with FR.

The official Leeds site says:

Tickets for Leeds Festival 2010 will go on sale at 18:45 on Monday 29th March, with the all-important first line up announcement from 7pm.

Have they always released it just after tickets in the past?

where's the best place to go for the announcement? surely the official websites will crash, so maybe here or just listen to zane lowe?

dw it will most likely get leaked during the day and then noone will believe it until zane low announces it

Yep, Punktastic will leak it. Very reliable. Couldn't listen to Zane Lowe if someone payed me, the guys a tube.

Currently in Denmark, getting a 3pm BA flight back to heathrow. My flight better not be f*cking delayed, due to those strikes. Cutting it fine as it is.
