LAWKS! It's the next announcement thread

[gooner1990]

I had a weird dream last night where I was watching TV and the BBC were showing adverts that then said 'line up 5 days to go 08:00' - which to me meant 8am this Friday! 

(Of course it won't be)

Got a good feeling about Friday 1st.

Don’t think you’ll be a million miles away with this … either Fri Mon or Tue would be my thoughts

Green Man announcing lineup on 1st March. Wonder if this will factor in to an announcement fro the farm (more/less likely)?

That makes me think the week after then.. 8th March is my bet.

I'm pretty sure Glastonbury have announced on the same day as other festivals in the past, I don't think it makes any difference to them.

Is there a more likely day of the week, based on precedence? I have it in my head, probably mistakenly, Tuesday has been good to us in the past. 

Edit: TINP, of course.

Green Man have announced their lineup on the 1st March in recent years, Glastonbury have announced their lineup on the first Friday in March in recent years, this is the first year these dates happen to be on the same day. I doubt either festival minds.

I still think there's a good chance it's this week, and if it isn't by the time Friday comes around then we can be sure we'll get it on the 8th!

Why are we sticking to Fridays ? Could be any day of the week

Yep, personally I'd say Friday (any Friday) is unlikely on the basis that the Festival seem to actively veer away from patterns when they start to emerge.

there won't be a link between glasto's announcement any any other announcements. if both things happen on the same day it'll just be a co-incidence.

glasto will have chosen a random date from the calendar at a point where bookers will be expected to have finished their work, ist march is a nice solid date if a date has to be chosen. so i wouldn't be too surprised if that ends up being the date (FYI: i know nothing and am just chatting random thoughts.)

I did a look back as far as 2017, Glastonbury have announced on the same day as other festivals (mainly small ones like Barn on The Farm and Wychwood) most years. In 2017 they announced on the same day as Womad.

Never in February though. My guess has been next Tuesday for a while but I still think Friday seems kind of likely, though horribly pattern inducing.

Just checked, and 2017 was up against the second WOMAD announcement rather than the main reveal.

Edit: for clarity, the point I'm making here is that WOMAD (and the other festivals I named) organisers will likely be aware if Glastonbury are intending to announce anything this week. The fact they all feel comfortable scheduling their own announcement for Wednesday/Thursday/Friday means they'll be comfortable they're not going to get massively overshadowed.

Ah, right. Didn't they announce the same day as Latitude or another similar sized one before? I vaguely remember the discussions but can't find anything. Probably not the 1st drop for them though?

Not sure tbh - but generally speaking any announcement in late March or April (as was the earliest we had prior to a couple years ago) would have been be later than any other festivals first go around. It used to be the norm that Glastonbury came substantially* later than anything else.

*a good month or so.
