Last year the dance tent was announced on 18th April, Lock-Up on May 3rd, further alternative tent announcements were on May 17th and May 28th, the rest of the FR tent on June 13th and the BBC Introducing stage on July 27th.

Obviously this year will be different as the format of the original announcement was different but generally they follow the same pattern.

I know last year Miles Kane was announced on 19th April and he was on the NME, so i guess the rest of the NME isn't too far away

I rekon the next announcement will come just before the next round of student loans come in.

Well if they are smart anyway, i know lots of my friends are low on cash and the announcement wasn't quite enough to pursuade them to go without food. But a decent announcement coupled with student loans coming in/people getting paid at the end of april shoud sell a few tickets.

My bet 23rd April

if they were to couple it with student loans - do it the week earlier as thats when they are going into the bank, at least for my uni anyway. also then it means the part of the loan that isnt put towards accommodation will be available (otherwise might be spent on nights out before the next announcement.)
