Ah right, funny how the mind plays tricks on you, I thought we had it all much sooner. Yeah it looks like they're hopefully adopting the same approach this time.

in 2011 that wasn't announced until 26th May, so we are a bit earlier this year I think:

http://www.efestivals.co.uk/news/11/110526d.shtml

A lot of different line-ups were released, on a stage by stage, field by field basis, in the week commencing Monday 9th May 2011 and the week commencing 16th - so I suspect we'll get a lot of additions through the next fortnight.

They add bits constantly so chances are it won't reach full line up stage till the week before the fest.

Does anyone know when the day splits where announcd the last couple of glastos?

[a williams field pilgrim]

Jimmy Cliff touring and new album, due to play cancelled hop farm. He's in Belgium Fri but plays early set in France @ ehz on the Sat, then free til 4th July. Surely he'll be confirmed for Sunday ?

[monkey1989]

Jimmy Cliff would be great...

[theboytaff]

I'd love Jimmy Cliff, but can't see it happening. He played 2 years ago. Was amazing too..

[All Mod Cons.]

So did Primal Scream.. : - )

fingers crossed.

[theboytaff]

Good point, now I'm back into optomistic and excited mode.

Ooooh baby baby it's a wild world....

[drewsstrat]

Their waiting for the sun to return to give us the feel good factor perhaps! Seriously I think next bank hol weekend in line with guardians announcement is my best guess

[Trebor]

So the day splits were a lot earlier? I think you're right, next bank hol for the whole lot.

[sisco]

In 2011 and 2010 it was the 14th April.

[teddyparnell]

Just so impatient now...

[drewsstrat]

It's been this late before and for years it wasfirst shown in June's Q magazine. Jay z year was a departure as it was harder to shift tickets, and now we get more earlier.

The notion that they might be pulling in bands from Hop Farm is certainly exciting. My Bloody Valentine, for chrissake.

[teddyparnell]

I don't read Q but do they do June Q like a month in advance like other stupid magazines? Or is it the Q released end of may start of June?

[evilging]

I dont think q gets the exclusive anymore after they broke the embargo and had to apologise to the guardian. Thats why the queens head and onsite newspaper lost their q branding.

[drewsstrat]

Yes that's right. Q pulled out, and the Q stage went (Queens head), along with the paper which I quite enjoyed reading.

[sisco]

They won't do it on a Bnk Hol weekend as no one will be online and they won't get as much free PR out of it. I said this before the last announcement (and was proved right, as they did it on the Weds night to hit the papers on the Thurs morning instead of over the Easter weekend)

[Homer]

Surely it has to be before June?? So that gives us this week or next basically. Do we normally hear whispers or is it just norm out of the blue.
