Glasto ain’t happening this year. eFests lads on the frontlines instead. Stood there with speakers blasting Muse - Won’t Stand Down. Stood there singing won’t dab down to the Russian troops.

I mean with albums named The Resistance and Drones, theyre ready to go.

Are we absolutely sure he's playing this year, not next?

Don’t worry, I’ll bring my later Oasis albums for us to groove to.

If that is true, they've backed themselves into a corner by needing to do it during balance week when the news cycle could be much worse than it was today.

They can’t really win, it’s not in the best of taste to be making announcements presently.

Why are people still believing that account … !!

That’s a different one that mentioned some true news last year.

I mean I dont think doing it on Monday wouldve been a bad move in general. Still technically Feb and day before balance window starts. 
 

They can only control their own circumstances and they are at minimum being mindful of what is happening which everyone here sort of expected from the festival. I dont think it was going to be totally tone deaf to make an announcement tomorrow for example. Theyre fortunate to have had a cushion before balance day or they mightve had a tougher time with it
 

So we mostly had it correct that today or tomorrow was going to be poster release.

I mean, they don't need to do it during the balance week.

News regarding Russia/Ukraine could be bad for a long while yet.

As someone relying on the resale I'd be more than happy if they didnt announce anything during balance week!

My partner is also trying for resale. Its difficult knowing I want to start the exciting of acts, but also want her to go.

Had a few drinks tonight and just wanted to say I’m really excited for what next week (hopefully) has to bring for us. I said to my friend that things aren’t properly back to normal until Glasto is back.

We’ve waited so long for this moment!

Given Mecca’s wordle tweet went out at 8am (obviously scheduled) surely 8am today seems fairly logical for the actual confirmation from him?

[kalifire]

I think they've abandoned plans to announce this week entirely, personally.

I reckon Monday/Tuesday morning seems most likely now.

I think they were going to have him tease and then a couple hours later just put the poster out. Ill put my money on Monday now. It was a very sound thing to give people the weekend to absorb the poster and make a decision by the time Tuesday came along. Now you take into consideration how much time is lost by a lot of people who dont hear the line up is out and then have to rush. Oddly enough its more common than you think when it comes to that sort of thing.

Is that right? Kinda looks like it actually from a Google search. Hilarious if we all missed that in plain sight last night, well spotted!
