LAWKS! It's the next announcement thread

[thewomble]

I cannot believe we are at this time already. Also thinking this Thursday/Friday for ticket details

It's neverending!

I think it probably could be neverending - there's so much going on at Glasto that they could probably announce one thing every day between the end of one festival and the start of the next (fallow years more of a challenge), without even remotely ruining the big lineup announcement. The first few months would just be housekeeping and a scattering of breadcrumbs for the obsessives, but would allow the likes of us to talk about actual things, rather idle rumours and self-indulgent make-believe (fun as that is).

Id love them to announce smaller stages first and build up to the main poster...

I'm gonna say 20th September (this Friday), and £385 (£75 deposit).

 

This is my guess.  Maybe £395 face value.

Yeah that would be great. Also gives the lesser known names a chance to shine.

I’ve always said this, reason being people can investigate acts they don’t know and the bands may make some new fans/listens/publicity etc..

[CaledonianGonzo]

You can still do that when the stage posters follow the main poster?

 I love this idea. They should drop the Crooner's Corner lineup now! 😂

Id love the BBC introducing line up early -  though part of me understands that these stages may get the line ups together a lot later which is probably while we have to wait.  

[CaledonianGonzo]

That's exactly it - still a lot of tweaking going on down in the lower levels of the bill.

I wonder what the chances are of some line-up news before T-day to push the conversation away from the process changes and into some more positive buzz?

I think a very very slim chance of a headliner on Monday

Someone announcing BST Monday?

Would that not be unprecedented and against what Emily’s always said ?

Maybe after registrations closed

i guess a small chance but I’d say it won’t be till after the sale as normal … the sale change won’t stop them selling out so they didn’t really need to change things in my opinion .

To be honest the only people complaining are the long time people like us, I heard it on the radio described as much fairer and welcome

Or maybe just afterwards if the new system doesn't go well?

I also think the problem with an early announcement still stands in pushing fans of that artist to make it a ticket sale for them, which adds to the numbers and increases the chances of decent numbers buying tickets with the intention of coming in for just one day.
