LAWKS! It's the next announcement thread

[Olshansky]

I'm dying to know the full Park lineup. 

With the absence of William's Green, I'm suspecting many of the indie bands who would have normally been on thier stage, will end up on early slots there or at The Rabbit Hole

Never heard of Ben until yesterday when their live album was recommended via Twitter. Sounds incredible!

This is the first set I listened to that got me hooked.

Also did one for amazon music which was great too. Great addition to the lineup for me.

Massive Beans fan here. I am sure he will show up more than once although Avalon is likely to be biggest. No doubt be on Greenpeace and maybe bandstand again

Greenpeace was rammed last year for Beans. We ended up balanced precariously on a ledge next to that big chute thing. And it was bloody hot!

Now we've had a couple of announcements I've been thinking about acts I would have expected to see at the festival this year who are yet to appear.  I was certain Gaz Coombes and The Beths would pop up and both feel a good fit for The Park.  In fact, The Park announcement is the one I'm most anticipating if I'm honest.

That's two big announcements in the last two days. Three if you count the resale info. Are they trying to drum up interest ahead of the resale? Perhaps indicates there's more in the pot than usual. Might have another one of two releases by next Thursday if it's true.

[Ayrshire Chris]

Acoustic next?

Just checking the Thingy. 

For both 2019 and 2022 Avalon and Silver Hayes were pretty close to each other around this time.

I reckon Kidz Field, the Common, Glasto Latino, are in the mix too.

Potentially a good point. Whilst we know they will still sell out easily we know they don't take it for granted so maybe they just want to make absolutely sure. Not that they will struggle but still.

It'll def still sell out, there's no question about that, but with all the cost of living, all the negativity about people disliking the line-up so far and spreading the hashtag #GlastoBudget etc, maybe they're trying to placate said negativity. All theoretical of course, could be absolute BS on my part.

Both were virtually the same dates last year so I think they are completely independent of the resale.

The way the raffle sold should be an indication that demand is still very high and the resale will be gone as fast as the See servers allow.

Think I'm probably just trying to talk up my chances, haha.

[William Mann]

Let’s get our bets in… when do we think the next announcement will be? I’m going for Thursday with Kidz Field but ideally would love to see Park

[Crazyfool01]

Tue ..... Woodsies ..... new area announcement just before the resale 

edit maybe map with no announcement mon ( pure guess but based on the map being ready ) 

Edited April 15, 2023 by Crazyfool01

[Memory Man]

2 announcements this week is my guess, one significant and one not. Probably kids field and something else. Dont think woodsies will be this early even if it does get its own announce which would be unprecendented.

[gfa]

Woodsies is their new toy to announce, not sure what that means for timings but could make sense to do it like Tuesday ahead of resale

[gfa]

side note - can't remember who to tag from the thingy but has there ever been an area announcement between the two resales ie the friday? or like the same day as resale

Yes, Avalon in 2017 and Kidzfield in 2019.

[sadimmock]

Theatre and Circus, Thursday. (A guess, not inside information).

Really hoping for Paolo Nutini… is certainly possible with his tour dates…. An nice glasto gap.

Would be kind of strange if he wasn’t there given he only did that piddly secret set last year. Hard to gage exactly what type of slot he’d get though - fourth down Pyramid maybe.

Either that or other stage.

Unusual for someone to play a secret set and then not appear the following year. He is playing a huge tour. Saw him in October, superb live. I’d put him on the pyramid late afternoon after subbing the Other in 2014. He is no bigger but a household name

[t0paz]

I think today is ripe for another announcement. Looking at The Thingy, Acoustic or T&C could be next, if only there was some type of pattern. 

[kalifire]

I reckon we'll get the new map today. From The Thingy...
