Never show your workings 😉

At least we have some activity today, with Emily's talk.

[CharlotteB]

Are we still think 'proper' announcement on International Women's Day, and maybe some leaked stuff from EE's talk today? I know IWD has seemed like a logical choice for a while now.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I think we'll get a few names at Emily's panel appearance today, but it may well be names we already know:  Shania, Dua, etc

Looks like the poster may still be a while away until the third headliner sitch settles down.

If Emily is due to be on 6 music with Lauren tomorrow at 8.00am then surely it means announcement?

There's no reason to think she is.

[mouserat]

I'm a pessimist at heart so think it's at least another week until we get a poster or proper announcement. Might get some names at her talk in Oxford today but I think they're more likely to avoid IWD than deliberately target it. 

Another week gives BST dates more time to sell, if we're assuming that's part of the reason for the delay.

Oh, hello... 

[Crazyfool01]

Obviously Emily’s busy elsewhere today or left her phone at home although Oxford is only a few hours away

That sounds more promising.

Nothing on the website though (yet)

Didn't Emily say she doesn't plan on announcing any headliners first and will just release the lineup? Either nothing's coming tomorrow or the poster i'd say. Can't see just a one-off Dua announcement.

Tbf I think she just said she liked the idea of dropping it all in one go but nothing was concrete.

I have no idea why you'd know this but I'm deciding to believe you

I've got to the stage where I'll believe anything....

Untill 6.05 when you look at profile photo and decide you’ve believed a sheep 

[Bike_Like_A_Mum]

I think everyone might have got their hopes up a bit for a name drop today... 

After all this time I think it would be incredibly underwhelming to drop a name in panel discussion which isn't televised or radio transmitted and isn't even directly about the festival...  Doesn't feel right and I can't tell if y'all are joking or not that you're really expecting it...

Don't think Emily is the type of person to draw attention away from an important discussion by self promoting the party in her back garden. idk...maybe I'm wrong
