Boomtown have only just started doing that since their lineups have become obviously weaker

And I don’t think this is something they will continue to do, they had to sell Sunday tickets last year which they’ve never done before, in the current climate I think it’s a very risky move to make, and it does get so much negative feedback

Emily has said this won't happen as they don't want to skew the attendance towards fans of one act.

She is wise

Announcement on the 29th Feb just cause they can

It's all coming together

Announce on 29th because it's a LEAP year

Another word for Leap is Jump

Van Halen/Girls Aloud confirmed

[shuttlep]

So 29th it is

Arguably more interesting that the main drop for me.  When you start getting the beautiful Glade, West Holts, Park etc. 

yes, love the individual poster drops. Allows us to trawl through the acts that we don’t know of and give them a listen. Always a few gems are uncovered that way.

Totally agree. The main drop tends to be what we know already, individual posters are the best!

I love the secret little surprises that make you do your happy dance. Avalon is often one of my favourite stage drops because it usually has something completely unexpected on it.

[Avalon_Fields]

They should announce only the Bandstand line-up before the main sale, to put all the casual Glastonbury goers off.

[Crazyfool01]

just to think we might only be 10 days or so from first poster .... exciting times 🙂 

[Franky]

29th of Feb eh ….

 

I like it! The idea gets my backing. I’m all in for the 29th 👍

I've always attended regardless of the lineup, more than happy to give over my money in October without knowing a thing and would do so, even if I still knew nothing walking through the gates in June.

How about we have no lineup at all? Just wonder round the site seeing who’s playing and stop if it’s someone you like!

Some of us have managed to achieve that during several attendances with the right intoxicants. Indeed as an oldie I've had it where I was looking at the guide but had blurred my vision 😊

Want anything from the shop?

One of my favourite bits of the lead up is when the Glade/Block9 or somewhere announces their lineup, I don't know a single one of them, yet I get to witness others anticipate their special moments of the weekend and get new recommendations out of it. Roll on announcement season

Yup, also missed him. Could actually hear snatches of him on the wind but had run out of steam.

My No 1 regret when I could have but didn't.

similar to me with  bowie at glasto, i feared he wouldn't play the hits (he was well known for not playing the hits).

 

the site was much quieter when bowie was on stage than when the stones were.

For me, the guide becomes completely unreadable either after dark or after consumption of various things, whichever comes first!

Do apologise as its probably been mentioned plenty of times, however when do the individual stage posters begin to drop?

Last year West Holts was quite early, 14th March. It was then a month until Silver Hayes and Avalon, they then started coming out every few days from 28th April and throughout May.
