someone posted in the vodaphone thread

EE had 2 permenant towers and like 13 temporary ones, vodafone had about 7 temporary ones and 3 and o2 had none at all.

Temporary sim might be the answer then! Normally wouldn't bother but had friends staying at the off site campervan place last year and if they get resale they'll be doing it again.

O2 awful except for right in front of pyramid

[nikkic]

So something today then? 

Seems like there’s a little more activity with the recent announcements.

Lana confirm? Lizzo news dropped? Would a Cat Stevens/Blondie 1-2 warrant its own announcement?

Don’t reckon they’ll announce Lana again but wouldn’t be surprised if we got Lizzo.

The Cat Stevens/Blondie thing seems like it’d go down like a lead balloon to the general public, especially after such a long wait for a new announcement, so can’t see that.

Also? I'd be very surprised if it's even a 'thing'.

It'd be a massive fuck you to Cat Stevens and seems to be based on a misunderstanding of what actually happened in 2017.

I think the info hinted that it was some kind of ‘double Sunday legend’ but tbh I agree and think that’s not right - Cat is the legend and Blondie just happen to be on before/after him. Really no need for it to be billed as a double bill or anything like that.

[CaledonianGonzo]

It also overstates how special / out of the ordinary a booking Blondie are.

Wonder how this will affect chances in the resale?

[stuie]

Interesting placing of Lizzo, outside of the A-Z and in the position of joint headliner?

[theglastokid]

Less names than usual on the first poster drop?

While I love her, I think that's more likely to be having at least some female presence on the top line rather than her being too big a name to be in the regular lineup.

The time is now.

Last year was during the balance window so I think that sets the earliest it could happen, if it was ready on the 1st March when balance window opened it would have been out. 

I think they've given themselves a bit more breathing space so mid March is my bet. 

The longer we go without anything though makes me wonder if there's some big changes that might be coming this year. New areas etc. 

Well what the fuck do I know, there is no pattern. 🤣

Someone do the maths, is this the fewest names on a first lineup?

First glance it seems like less than usual for sure. 

Im pretty happy with it so far though have to admit.

Also to clarify, I'm not claiming I knew anything, it was said in blind hope more than anything else.

Great lineup for me and my girlfriend - it's only her 2nd time this year and last year didn't have many artists that jumped out at her, but she's buzzing about this one. She's got all that "I'm gonna plan so much better for this year and do all the things I want to do" energy which is very infectious!

Happy Friday people!
