LAWKS! It's the next announcement thread

sad to be missing Ricky Lee Jones...

Nothing there for me this year although Badly Drawn Boy could be good. Mind you, after being at every one since 2014 the only time I have been there was last year for Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbot who were superb.

They've just reposted this with Lisa O'Neill removed and Seth Lakeman in her place..

You'd think they'd double check these posters to make sure they're correct before publishing them to hundreds of thousands of people wouldn't you lol. Is it just Emily in her kitchen again

On track for the big one! I still reckon it'll be after the Bank Holiday but imagine how this place will be all day Friday if we get Block 9 tomorrow.

I agree. It's very odd. I'd blame the Acoustic tent people for this. How hard can it be to check a fucking poster.

As someone who works in this field I can testify to it being surprisingly difficult when you're working with the amount of last minute changes and different proofs/copies that these people are probably working with. Can't help but feel sympathy for these people who likely don't have to do any other marketing nearly as high pressured as this all year!

If Block9 does somehow come tomorrow and the big one comes on Friday, this place will be pandemonium with a capital P.

Prob 'cos the curator for the Acoustic Stage was smoking a bowl at the time.

I've never seen this tent/bar? Any idea where it is?

Edit: A google says Leftfield, where is it in relation to the Leftfield tent?

It's the old Kasbah. On the path from Leftfield to West Holts.

Has anyone ever edited a version of the map to include the names of all the bars?

I'm sure there's also a bar near the Bandstand that plays Indie/Club hits 'til late...

Full lineup this Friday, inc. Pulp, I can feel it coming

Still backing this to be true, even more confident given how things have gone this week

What's it like in the Acoustic field between July and May? Pretty lonely?

Once the full line-up is released in the next few days, how frequently has it changed between then and the start of the festival? Are there minor additions/deletions/time changes every few days or are any changes batched up until close to the end?

It depends on circumstances - sometimes people get sick and have to pull out... hopefully Chemical Bros won't get covid again etc. 

[FuzzyDunlop]

Cos we have had something every day at 12... does that mean there is .... a pattern?

So last years programme had Doja Cat on it and Sam Fender 4th on the Saturday, so that was fairly late.  As someone else said The Chems had to cancel.  The one before Snow Patrol was a late pull out too

Full lineup Tue .  Makes absolute sense to me after @drunk pumpkin post .
