Just to clarify - are you saying that the act in question has already been provided with a copy of this years gif?

Or just talking in more general terms that they'll have it before the lineup comes out?

Just in general, they haven't got it (if acts are sent it as a matter of course).

Well who is it then 🤔 

I've given names of who I know about to @Avalon_Fields, they're on the rumours page.

Yep there's only a small difference - that's why I was quite precise (and accurate) with what I said.

My basic point is that it's far too early to be getting impatient. You'll only end up frustrating yourself if it ends up being another 4 weeks (I don't think it'll be that long, but it can't be ruled out - especially if they're trying to fill a vacant headline spot).

I'm reasonably confident that we'll get a small number of names on Thursday when Emily is at Oxford (she has history of dropping names at things like that), so hopefully that'll keep people going for a bit.

I can imagine even if she doesn't drop any names on Thursday she could say something like "2 of our headliners this year are female" which would be a massive hint for us.

I haven’t looked into this appearance on Thursday but isn’t it about women in the industry? If so, there’s every possibility we’ll have some new words from Emily to dissect and obsess over!

I think it’ll be a “which is why this year we’re having… on the pyramid” announcement/comment and we’ll get a few names dropped

Yep exactly that.

Something to illustrate their commitment.

Emily did say she wanted to drop the poster early in the year before any other announcement though. So although it may be early compared to other years it is also late to have no names and late-ish according to the rough timeline she set out

Emily says lots of things that don't come to pass.  I'm starting to wonder if it's genuine smoke & mirrors as opposed to well intentioned but misguided promises.

I just meant it sometimes feels like we're being deliberately thrown off the scent.

I heard this week that someone involved with one of the acts that are playing has no idea when the line-up is coming out. Basically if the act knows, they will know.

Now given they all have that "I'm/We're Playing Glastonbury" gif ready to go, and we know Avalanches had it at least 12 hours early as they tweeted it early from the wrong time-zone, I'd say it ain't coming tomorrow. 

I'm sticking with my prediction of 8am Tuesday*.

 

*until 08:01 Tuesday.

Good analysis + insight

Is this in line with the original info? Or is this the Stevie Wonder replacement? 

[Joey Peeps]

If the SZA intel is correct, now that she's announced for BST means we'll get the poster or at least an announcement soon? Do we think this is, party at least, the reason for the hold up?

At this point there's no hold up, and also no strong word on SZA. The poster being released now would still be unusually early, and SZA is considered a possibility rather than nailed on.

Given the quality of the sources stating stevie is out and SZA is in i'd consider her pretty nailed on really

Last I heard, those sources were still hedging their bets on her.

There has been at least one usually reliable source that has been told Stevie out/SZA in which is where all of the talk originated.

[SilverLining]

Cba reading back multiple pages especially as I have been out drinking the last 5 days and back to work today.

Is SZA being touted as mid headliner?

[gooner1990]

@incidentGlad to see at least one person is talking sense.
