LAWKS! It’s the Next Announcement Thread 2022!

[not worthy]

They'll just release the poster as planned with whomever is booked at that time.

It will all be subject to change up to the moment an act actually walks on stage......and as a punter we just have to accept that that's the case, relax and roll with it.

Nothing to be gained from putting the poster out early. Just making a rod for your own back. People will want them regardless after 3 years. 
It’s never come out in February anyway. I can’t see that being accelerated with the uncertainty.
And everyone who went to festivals last year will know- last minute cancellations will happen to. Suspect there’s gonna be plenty of acts kept in reserve to drop in if required though.

A bit of perspective is required though. 2 geriatric American acts cancelling their tours is not a crisis.

I could see us not getting the usual first poster by balance window

but there will surely be a meaningful artist announcement of some kind, even if its just the 2nd headliner and maybe a hand picked few extra names

there will be something to get the juices flowing pre balances

or they could do a condensed first poster of about 25 names rather than the usual 50/60? Lots of options

patience!

Completely agree.

There'll be something to heighten anticipation pre-balance payment. 

I reckon Macca and a few other names.

Maybe if each of the stages has at least one secure headliner, they can do little one-act announcements stage by stage. The Pyramid went first.

What are we on now? 5 in a week?

5 what, Glastonbury acts? I count 2, Aerosmith and QOTSA, 1 being a very old band almost at retirement and the other having nothing to do with Covid.

Maybe I've missed it but have QOTSA cancelled all their dates yet? I know they are not playing rock werchter anymore

Thats the only one and people are assuming they're gonna cancel them all.

Sensationalist hyperbolic statements? You're on way more than that!

And of course, it was The Horrors’ before that. Mr Knuckles took a five-finger discount on the sample.

 

God this was good.

I feel like the end product of this will look like a totally new lineup. Wasn’t expecting us to lose Robyn of all people.

[kalifire]

Makes you wonder if there's even any point in releasing a poster until much closer to the event.

There'll be some kind of news before balance payments, but I'm not convinced it'll be a poster.

Saw QOTSA at eden in 2018 and they were outstanding, one of the best gigs I've ever been to. Really hoping they still play this year 🤞🤞

I'll kick the speculation off. I'm saying one headliner announced plus resale dates...

[kalifire]

Has to be some kind of reveal, surely. Exciting!

[Crazyfool01]

I’m going with macca and maybe one other …

From this link.

Oh boy.

An announcement on R1 sounds like Harry Styles to me.
