Not cancel, but it could stop Macca getting from his house in St John’s Wood to his lawyer’s office to sign the contract…

Glasto don't pay enough for him to get a taxi.

I'm half expecting Macca to get announced today, and they just put the announcement back a week from last Thurs.

But Kendrick appears good to go too… so what’s the hold up?

But wtf was up with the whole McCartney situation then if there was no announcement planned at all?

Seems likely that Macca would have been announced last week had it not all kicked off in Ukraine.

Why they haven’t done it since is anyone’s guess.

Derailed by Ukraine - Russia and that would have been the February big noise. I think with poster will be coming much later in March….

Not even seen a hint of one of these about yet 😔

Yeah that's making me a bit doubtful as well. There's always one or two who mess up the timing and post that too early. We haven't even had any cryptic 'big news tomorrow' type posts that haven't been easily explained by some other announcement.

Maybe they never intended to announce anything other than two headliners before the balance window (plus Simz & D-Ro), but Russia fucked that up. Maybe. It seems likely there was an announcement due on the day Macca scheduled his tweet, but since then absolute silence.

You'd think because the poster was coming this week anyway, but at this rate who knows..?

8 am is quite frankly a ridiculous time to announce anything, especially after the rise in WFH. I'm only awake because I'm an hour ahead.

9 it is.

[kalifire]

@eFestivals any chance one of your sources might have some info available?

In that case, I’d Seriously recommend this book…

2020 came at 7pm and I’m pretty sure we didn’t have a heads up about that until very close. Someone dig the old thread out!

I know some user asked Neil to DM him because he had a tip off literally an hour before it dropped.

Didn’t some small act tweet out something that looked like this year’s one last week?

Thing is going by 2019 (15th March) & 2020 (12th March) if we get the lineup during this balance payment window we're only a week or so earlier and I can't imagine a vast amount changes in those 7-10 days to stop an announcement happening now?

If that makes any sense?!

Yeah that’s true tbf. It is a weird one. Unless we get the lineup today/tomorrow, then it’s a totally normal one!

Where are the chickens??

They usually know.

We sometimes get a lull of posts from @Neil whilst he updates the lineup pages don’t we ? Let’s hope he’s stood by his bed and not still in it

Sourced from your old man ITK, or a guess?

Lol funnily enough, yeah. But my mate is definitely taking the piss this time!

Screenshot for proof in case he isn’t!

Does the Thingy indicate if we've ever had a poster mid-balance window? Cos I can't see shit happening until after the 7th.

Last time was 2014 I think.

Yeah, 2014 we got it 3 days before the balance deadline iirc. So still hope.

[AlexOvd]

Every day it feels closer to a mid month poster like 2020 (between 10-20 March).
