Sold out, Full Line Up Due Soon?

[drewsstrat]

Blondie and the stereophonics are conspicuous by their absence I suppose. There is usually one welsh artist on the pyramid lately, don't see this years contribution yet

[drewsstrat]

That wasn't secret...Madness a few years ago in Lost Vagueness for example was secret. (800 person venue, maybe less) Absolutely blinding gig Secret gigs likely this year but unlike the last few years are actually going to be secret

[sinhala]

I am guessing that there are quite a few acts trying to sell out their own gigs and tours and/or other festival appearances before announcing Glasto.

I think worthyfm announced the madness gig,

Did they???

or the daily newspaper,

Definately not

whichever we all knew it was happening. It was an absolute no no in any case for me.. To much trudging in mud, too many people, and I think they cordoned it off in end

We knew about it the day before. AFAIK only crew were in the know. We arrived 1/2 hour before Madness came on and the tent was half empty.

Our mate was stage manager and she snogged Suggs Still dines out on that one!

It was 2007, lost vagueness and all that, but I knew it was happening in advance definitely . If it wasn't from the daily glasto newspaper or radio it may of been from here , it was one of these "secret" shows that wasn't really secret. It clashed with Arctic monkeys I think...

I Googled it and two years ago we had the full one up by about a week ago, so presumably we should get the rest soon.

I also remember that two years ago, Morrissey (who subbed the Pyramid) was on the last announcement with no previous rumours that he was playing, so it's possible that some pretty big names will come unexpectedly out of the hat yet.

"The full official website will be back up this morning (following the resale yesterday)."

From @glastofest twitter 3 minutes ago.

Maybe with some mods on the line up?

I've for a decision on my hands if Johnny Marr clashes with the Stones.. Watched him at the Ritz last month and it was an amazing gig.

[All Mod Cons.]

Got.

Nope ;( it's back and the same oh well only 10 more Mondays !

[MEGABOWL]

Yes. It will be soon. Odds are it'll be before June 26th.

^{I can't wait for the full line up. Means we can have a decent stab at the clashfinder. Also I am hoping for some big names on the dance stages which could change my current list entirely.}

^{Getting silly excited now - need more news!}

[a williams field pilgrim]

I'm fairly sure it was in the programme as "Ska legends" or something like that.

[sparkythetortoise]

I saw lady gaga in a tent

[5co77ie]

Some people on twitter are blabbing that we're getting some news on the 5th of May.

[Stu H]

they must have deadlines that they have to work to; e.g. full line up by X date, so that they can arrange set times, budgets, logistics, artwork, all manner of things. I'm surprised that, with little over 2 months to go, much of the festival line up is to be announced.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

I can't remember a year we've had a FULL lineup before the festival.

[mrtourette]

Yeah there's a difference between having the line-up and announcing the line-up, they can do all that stuff without announcing it.
