I think Radio 2 may be too (replacement) hip. Greatest Hits Radio for the 2023 announcement. 

Absolute 80's 😄

My thoughts exactly. Do it a couple of days from the end to sell even more tickets.

[DareToDibble]

Actually I’ve just seen it ends on 15th March so “a couple of days from the end” doesn’t really help us with lineup news any time soon 😅

I could see the 17th being day of announcement with full poster. 2 days after all these competitions end, middle of March not too far off what its been the past few festivals.

Agreed, just reviewed and entered. This will raise more than the auction!

Any substance or are you getting as impatient as the rest of us?

Nah just impatient …  based on them wanting to hit the ground running with the draw . It’s clever marketing isn’t it ? They get the hype from initial tweet … it dies back a little and then boom they get another when they announce someone and attach the link to the raffle … I’d say possibly tomorow or more likely Friday …

A juicy name mid-raffle draw would be a great idea!!

There is 2 editions of the paper, so 2 winners can each have the first copy.

Yea they've got a problem here.

WTF are they going to say presuming the two currently unconfirmed headliners are who you lot think they are?

Personally it still doesn't add up, or make any sense to me.

they haven't got any of those this year.

[Memory Man]

One persons exciting headliner is another persons idea of hell. Standard. Fwiw i dont think we’re getting much before the end of march.

A lot of the younger people will be excited by Arctic Monkeys, especially those too young to have made 2013. It'd probably get enough additional raffle tickets sold at least with people speculatively trying

Not a chance would it hurt anyway, would be at least 1 AM megafan putting their money in the pot, if not thousands

Exactly.  Lots of people will be excited by the headliners.   They all have no problem selling out their own tours so I don't see what the problem is. 

It's just the same two old boys on here banging their Babylon bongos as per usual.

[Drinky]

Both of the remaining headliners have their own shows scheduled though so I can’t imagine announcing them would move there needle that much (in GNR’s case it would probably do the opposite)

Friday. Going to stake it on Friday.

Perhaps not the announcement everyone was expecting, but @russycarpshas returned - spotted yesterday in the other side of the forum.
