Big announcement on 6 music tues breakfast show

[matt2007]

Mary-Anne Hobbs has just said there will be a massive announcement on the breakfast show on ties from 7 am, not sure what it's about but straight after they had a promo that mentioned glasto many times.

This is all too much for a Sunday morning with a hangover and too many kids in the house!

I'd imagine it's the Latitude announcement, due on Tuesday, which has a partnership with 6music.

Is the full line-up due on Tuesday then? That's exciting. Was considering it as a possible additional festival but was very underwhelmed by the first run of acts.

[ian the worm]

I thought it may be Glasto related too.

I can't get 6 music at work at 7am, so I'll just check on here at 7:05am.

Second headliner, and I assume a couple of other acts.

Kasabian official announcements?

[Alcatraz]

This isnt anything to do with Glastonbury (or Latitude) I dont think. The specific promo for the announcement (which theyve just run) suggests this is some event theyre doing in Manchester, and corresponds with a billboard in the city

Even though I wouldn't like it,

can it have something to do with Oasis?

Unlikely. Something like that wouldn't stay under embargo for a second, and I'm not certain the BBC are allowed to support one band like that

Any idea what the smallprint says, Alcatraz?

What the blooming eck is going on hereee

Afraid not, the photo's from Stuart Maconie's Twitter

If it is indeed a manchester event I'll be pretty happy as I live here. Hopefully a proper event not something you have to apply for tickets to go at Media City

[CHRLY]

Yeh doubt it's latitude, they defo wouldn't have a billboard in manchester if it was. Might be some new small festival or something?

[efcfanwirral]

That's what I'm thinking- something small in Heaton park or something?

[efcfanwirral]

And if they did that they have two ready made potential headliners who actually do shows on the station!

[jamesrfisher]

It's going to be Latitude, on their Facebook page and on Twitter have said 2nd headliner announced on Tuesday. 6 Music are a Latitude partner and name the 2nd stage. On one of the forums there is a report from The Independant (also sponsor Latitude) that there will be an announcement on Tuesday via 6 Music from Manchester.

Don't think 6 Music would be doing 2 announcements for different festivals on the same day, not good pr.

I could be wrong!

[Tuna]

^ yeah that's what I'm thinking, ready to be proved wrong however

[efcfanwirral]

To put a billboard in Central manchester for a latitude announcement it must be someone big

[CardiffWanderer]

Smiths reunion?! Ha ha.

man, even matt42 doesn't have a hunch, the plot thickens!

If you listen to the teaser promo the station is running, you'll understand why i think its nothing to do with Latitude. The stand out noise in the quick collage is a football crowd Edited January 19, 2014 by Alcatraz

Lauren live from Manchester

Lauren comes live from Manchester and brings you a special announcement.

21/01/14 Show description from here

Live from Manchester, eh? Oasis are reforming.

[Amy Lawn]

Why the hell would Oasis announce their reunion on one radio station, which is digital only and relatively small in the grand scheme of things? In the entire city of Manchester, there are one or two other things than Oasis, not many, but some.

[Mr November]

6 Music are based in Manchester, are they not? Therefore all their live shows are 'live from Manchester'.

Gideon Coe has New Order in concert at 9pm that day. Though I can think of no reason why it would be a New Order related announcement, I might go with it as my prediction.
