Would have been worst surprise ever

Definitely think we get nothing until the poster now but do think that'll mean we get the poster earlier than normal. Guessed 22nd Feb (based of absolutely nothing) the other day and I'm sticking to it.

If the headliners have gigs to announce, we won’t get a poster till these have been on sale

I wonder when BST will announce Stevie?

And now the Emerging Talent tweet...are they teasing us?

[Gnomicide]

Emerging Talent was the same time last year (well, the day after), so no surprise there.

Hang on...

Not exactly the same day. They confirmed an act with it last year. Tweeted 1hr 5mins earlier.

I really, really want to see an announcement... but at the same time it's quite exciting that we don't know anything yet. We're gonna get a mega whammy at some point and efests is going to GO OFF all at once!

The longer this goes on without a single act announcement, the more the chances of getting a poster as a first announcement increases, shirley. Emily already said it's what she'd like to do, so I'm anticipating a mid-Feb poster drop, especially if the headliners could be perceived as weak.

Exactly. This is what Emily said she wanted to do, it's basically her festival so why not? I said a while back I think that unless someone breaks cover, it'll be one poster. I do however think it will be earlier than previous years.

[CaledonianGonzo]

You're probably right about the poster - but I reckon we're still looking at March.

2002, when the lineup was only officially announced in the programme you got on the way in.

I'm fairly sure there were times in the 90s where there was nothing until you picked up the programme at the gate. Although I'm not sure if I'm misremembering.

Or maybe it was the early 2000s, 2002 in fact (cheers @incident)

Definitely an outlier this century to not have anything by this point then. 

All those fests with nothing had early Feb announcements, except 2004. So if we don't get anything next month it'll be a huge outlier!

It'd be great.

It'd be worth it just for the the meltdown from all the entitled types on here and social media.

Aside from that, until much more recently (late 00s/early 10s) even a "full" announcement on the festival website didn't include a lot of the smaller stages, and part of the fun of arrival day was settling down at camp and scouring the programme for any hidden gems. I do think that they've taken away some of the excitement by putting everything online a month ahead, and it'd be great to have something like that again.

Agreed, I loved it! Much harder to pull off these days due to the web, socials and self confirms but I'd love it if they could do it again.

I wonder if Emily knows her words in interviews are picked apart to such an insane extent and is incredibly meticulous with what she says (even so much as to f**k with us purposefully) or if she’s incredibly casual about it and her saying ‘full lineup in the new year’ was just an off the cuff comment that didn’t mean much at all.
