LAWKS! It's the next announcement thread

[CaledonianGonzo]

Doesn't look like they've booked a dracula though.

Florence Pugh Q&A could be really cool.

 

How long generally do those things go for? 

[Andeeroo]

Still never made the trip to the Palais. How busy does it get and how far in advance do you need to get there if there's something you want to see? Might wonder over on the Thursday for Problemista and Tap.

What the f**k is The Greatest Showman doing in there?  Worst. Film. Ever and paints one of the worst humans in history and a slave owner as some loveable character who was all heart.  Seems an odd choice.

It’s awfully popular and people will do sing alongs with it. 
 

Agree it’s an awful film.

Friday

 

Our first star guest appearance is with Andrew Scott in National Theatre Live’s Vanya. Straight after that is Tilda Swinton introducing her latest pre-release film the quirky comedy Problemista. Next up Florance Pugh will be talking about her experiences on the set of the epic Dune: part 2. Followed by a screening of heartfelt drama All Of Us Strangers with Director Andrew Haigh, and stars Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott. Finally, our late film is Baby Driver and Q&A with director Edgar Wright.

 

Saturday

 

The next day we’re celebrating the 20th anniversary of cult favourite Shaun Of The Dead with Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright. Our Saturday night film is also part of our Vampire series with a Q&A from Tilda Swinton talking about Jim Jarmusch’s insanely cool vampire film Only Lovers left Alive. Fun fact: Tilda’s part in this film qualified her for her cameo in the hit TV series What We do in the Shadows.

 

Sunday

 

Finally, on Sunday, we kick off with I’m not There, a rumination on the life of Bob Dylan, where six characters embody different aspect of the musician’s life and work. Cate Blanchett is one of those six, and the two-time Oscor winner will be with us for the Q&A. After that is Unicorns and a Q&A with Ben Hardy (X-Men: Apocalypse, Bohemian Rhapsody), Jason Patel and the directors: Sally El-Hosaini and James Krishna Floyd. Its followed by a screening of Murnau’s Nosferatu (1922) with an Intro by Dan Smith (Bastille) and live score by Chris Green.

It's the first announcement since West Holts that I'm properly excited for.

Could all these Vampire films be a subtle way of telling us that Creeper will be playing at some point over the weekend?

That design is far, far better than anything most of the areas manage to put together! 

 

It’s almost too good to be a legitimate Glastonbury area poster! 

 

I kind of miss the days when they put some proper effort in.

agree. 

 

Some of the other areas were dreadful tbh. Someone needs a kick up the arse I'd say. It's really not hard these days with so many free stuff online like Canva. 

 

This however is beautifully designed and clearly thought about. 

[Olshansky]

I hope Paul and Andrew stay all weekend.

Literally gonna have the full lineup in less than two weeks, so they’re either coming this week or next if they’re getting their own announcements.

After a full day of back to back meetings I was convinced I’d be coming back to a Block 9 2024 thread… sad times.

I feel like there should be a thread dedicated to posters with the worst artwork. There has been some absolutely terrible ones over the years. Has anyone got any other shockers saved from times past??

There's intel floating around to suggest that this may be Friday

[Crazyfool01]

Thought we might get something today though …

I’ve started to save the posters, and do yearly collages of most of them, last two year’s here:

The initial Mandala one last year was funny when they used the line-up generator website. They did redeem themselves with something different a little later.

 

 

Others that spring to mind, 2020 poster with the acts in a circle. Actually looks quite nice but difficult to read. 

 

 

2005 poster. Maybe because there only seems to be low resolution available but it's unreadable.

Laziest is the Avalon, they’ve just been tweaking the same design for a few years now…
