LAWKS! It's the next announcement thread

[Matt42]

We really haven’t seen many lineups. Looks like lots of announcements are being held back.

Yeah, I could see a big act being embargoed that we might not have thought of yet.

when does coachella normally announce?

I love it when the announcements start coming, if only so I have a playlist to listen to to find new people to see!

Reckon it might not be long until we get a headliner.  Just looked at festileaks forum to see what they are chatting about.

GNR could be announced in December for the following festivals;

- PinkPop (Netherlands) 16-18 June
- Firenze Rocks (Italy) was same weekend as Pinkpop last year but dates TBC
- Grasspop (Belgium) 15-18 June.

Will GNR be the first confirmed headliner?

I’m not their biggest fan, but it looks like things are closing in on the GNR front. Too many unconnected sources all converging and it looking like a sealed deal.

An underwhelming first announcement for sure, if it is 

[leath02]

Feel like AM won’t be announced until the poster. With the other two more unknown ones coming between now and then 

I reckon no announcement until December though

GNR - December?

Third (possibly Dua) - February? 

AM - with the poster in March

its been a lot busier for announcements at this time of year than it normally is.

I feel like GnR won’t be the first out the blocks either

Think the more mysterious third headliner will come first and be potentially an exciting curveball

[Crazyfool01]

This thread being hot will mean lots of people looking at it thinking something has been announced …

In tandem with the headliner thread

Tbh who is the mysterious headliner? To us? The people who look at it every day.

To those who don’t engage with efestivals every headliner is mysterious - I don’t think they cater their announcements to us.

A valid point… Although I feel like even people I talk to outside efests seem to be waging on AM being one of the three names. 
 

Just feel like the first one is gunna be one to grab headlines a bit, definitely don’t think that would be AM

… but what if they don’t have a headline grabbing headliner this year… are AM, GNR, Dua stop the world moments?

I would most likely watch Guns and Roses if they play. I like some of their songs although I'm not a huge fan. However, for me it would be the sort of headline act I would find difficult to ignore. My curiosity in wanting to experience how it turns out would probably get the better of me!

tbh think GnR would definitely get some media attention

Dua has a pretty ravenous fan base right?

I wouldn’t say Dua would break ticketmaster or have some stupid dynamic pricing feature…

Is there a reason the talk is Dua heavy over Elton?

Yep same here. Discovered some great acts in my Glastonbury playlists. Tends to be the smaller announcements that I like as well.

Definitely! Though my music knowledge is pretty poor so I often have to "discover" the headliners as well.  That lad Paul McCartney this year seemed good.
