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

I wouldn't recommend it - it's a binfire like the other polticis thread.

I'll stay well clear. Music is as music does in this place.

Now I'm just thinking of the Futurama where they attempt to disguise an orangutan as Leela. The Problem with Popplers, maybe?

The post was weirdly curse free for a return to this site … was expecting expletives for post 20,000

[NorthernSoul52]

Got to keep us all on our toes, I guess.

Now 6 Music Festival tickets are sold we can go back to expecting an announcement. I expect us to get something to give that raffle a bump although it's doing quite nicely on it's own. I think Emily was genuinely overwhelmed by the reaction to it.

Who could they announce to get the juices flowing?

Lizzo announced as a sub could work.

Lizzo would be a great one. Harry Styles (if rumours of him subbing Elton are true?) would be huge too, especially off the back of 4 BRIT Awards.

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.

what is it that bothers you so much? is it that those 'old boys' were going to the festival when you weren't?

there was no whinging, just a mention, that triggered something with you, what is it that annoys you?and now you're the one whinging.

Every time i see this thread bumped to the top, open it up and there's nothing but a quarrel or insignificant news going on rather than an actual announcement, a little part of me dies inside..

You haven't stopped whinging on in this thread for about 3 months now.

I would stay away - I couldn't help venturing over but now wish I hadn't. 🤦‍♂️

interesting to note 2019, 2020 and 2022 had these next 2 weeks as a dry spell - although every year before those had announcements, with 9? in 2013!
