[Hugh Jass II]

My guess is we are still about four weeks away from the start of the area announcements.

Yeah, I'd say about right. Avalon first up.

Arent they normally earlier than that even with the poster in April/final days of March?

I actually expect something to appear next week

Without checking the Thingy I thought they usually started coming towards the end of April.

Could be wrong though.

[Hugh Jass II]

Worth remembering in a normal year we would probably be expecting the first poster drop this week.

Probably about 2/3 weeks until they start then, unless they’re bringing everything forward relative the resales, but I see no reason for that. 

[Gnomicide]

I think slightly earlier this year. We'll have something w/c 11th April.

Yeah I’m expecting them to be back on the usual announcement cycle now.

Yeah, the secret coach resale today shows it’s really just a case of shifting the tickets before this vat change, in previous years there is no way they’d hold a secret sale just a few days later. No reason any of the other timelines need to change now though.

I know, I wonder if for whatever reason they never made one.

Was that the year Gary Glitter headlined, subbed by Rolf?

 

[Homer]

2004 was a great year - Chems, Orbital and Basement Jaxx headlining the Other.

Apparently some coach tickets appeared unannounced after the main sale had finished

Yeah we managed to get 2 individual ones for the spreadsheet team … when I say we I mean others … although I did get on the page and see them briefly which was more than could be said for main sale as I just hit the main page holder

Chems DJ has been mentioned lots of times.

Looks like its Basement Jaxx based off tour dates - hope its Live as i thought their DJ set was awful at Boardmasters last year.

sorry @Euphoricape, although who knows!

Orbital were rumoured for 2019 but, obviously, didn't play and then more strongly rumoured for 2020. 

I don't know where they'd fit on the bill now as I couldn't see them 'just' playing Arcadia. Although I appreciate that's an odd thing to say with the Chems (and those other strong names) rumoured to be on Arcadia.

They already have Bicep for WH. How common is it for 2 electronic acts to headline WH in a given year. Cause they could also have Nightmares on Wax possibly headlining, but its not known yet, just that theyre on Sunday.

Bicep are confirmed headlining Sunday WH so that scenario isn't possible.

Hetta Falzon will be playing Avalon or Avalon cafe after winning the Pilton Stage on Saturday. She is a 17 year old from Wells Cathedral school playing keyboard.

A Basement Jaxx DJ set is quite different to the live show. Expect a handful of BJ reworks amongst some standard house and tech house cuts. Probably what you experienced at Boardmasters?
