LAWKS! It’s the Next Announcement Thread 2022!

[Gnomicide]

For the last 6 festivals, the gap between 1st poster and balance deadline has been between 3 days and 20, an average of 10.8.

With Balance Deadline Day being a month early this year, we can expect a poster between 15th Feb and 4th March with the most likely being 24th Feb. Unless, of course, there is no pattern.

Poster to drop in 57 days then 👍🏽

Wondering if posting the line up will be after the balance payment? 

If there's still huge uncertainty over bookings it could be seen as a "weak" line up.  If so they'd only lose income from people not wanting to go based on the lineup e.g. if it was say Eilish/Fender/ Dave (I know, more than the acts, it's the vibe etc etc). 

Whereas if they don't release the lineup before balance deadline, the number of people who'd put the tickets back because they won't pay without acts could be lower then those who'd return if they see it as a weak line up.

Nah I don’t think it’s going to be a weak lineup at all. Festival lineups look pretty strong for 2022. 

My view is more optimistic. They probably can announce the lineup before the balances in March this time because the lineup was probably locked into place much earlier.

I've been told by someone on Facebook that the 2020 balance deadline was also to be 07/04 so that makes that year 23 days from poster to deadline day and pushes the average up to 12.5.

Haha I think I’m going to stand by us getting an announcement in Feb before the balance payments.

Yup. Jan fades away and Feb soon comes!

[Gnomicide]

Time moves slow on Worthy Farm. We've been stung with a "soon" too many times before.

[John the Moth]

How soon is now?

I thought we wouldn’t get owt until Feb or so when the Omicron news had died down, but there seems to be a lot of positive news on that front much earlier than I expected so maybe we could get something in the coming weeks? Seems clear at this stage omicron won’t derail anything in the Spring and onwards so why not start the hype train? 

[kalifire]

I’m sure we’ll get the first poster a week before the balance payments are due, and maybe a second headliner announced this month.

In the meantime, I hope the BBC switches on their damn webcam!!

I think it’s more likely that they will hold out until the poster drop. If the remaining headliners are people who were there in 2020 I don’t think it warrants an individual announcement. 

Plus it seems like if the headliners are Paul and Kendrick they are both locked behind some secretive contracts somewhere.

Jan 21st is a year since the 2nd cancellation. That'll be the day for an announcement.

I reckon we'll get something in January. Maybe one headliner and another act that Emily is excited about that she lets out during an interview

Bringing the balance deadline forward by a month compresses the window to make announcements to just Jan and Feb, so yeah I'd be surprised if we went the whole of this month without anything. I still wonder if they were planning to announce something pre Christmas but pulled it due to the Covid climate.

Mad to think we'll be expecting the first poster at the end of next month.

I have nothing more to add except Emily liked my "When you say soon....?" response to her Instagram post meaning it's any day now. Obvs.

[AlexOvd]

I can't imagine January without any announcement considering the balance this year is one month earlier. Hopefully we will get something!
