Would be great if they did, it gets so overcrowded up there.

Edit - apparently they have actually got a bigger tent!

I have just seen the news on twitter! Courtesy of @Gnomicide of course.

Without the pull of secret acts at William's Green, Baggy Mondays et al on Thursday afternoon will be HEAVING, you can't get in there on a normal year. A bigger tent is definitely needed.

100%

Entire festival crowd basically split between Stonebridge bar and Shangri-La on the Thursday. 

What on earth could go wrong...

I’ve gotta say. I’ll never underestimate how lucky I am to be going to Glastonbury and know that it’s so much more than the lineup. But this years is the most drab and uninspired I have seen in my 10 years of attending. It seems to be the case for a lot of UK festivals this year but Glastonbury in particular. Yet some of the US festivals seem a lot more inspired with their line up choices. I know I’ll still have the best time but usually by this point there’s a nice surprise somewhere. Maybe it’s our age bracket (25-30) but most of the people we would want to see here have been done to death. Hopefully some more inspired choices next year.

Guilty pleasures on Thursday night will be rammed in the rabbit hole

Have to disagree.

Maybe Pyramid and The Other are poor, but that's par for the course. However, the important stuff, i.e. post midnight is looking very good.

Even before midnight there are some very good acts about. May not be the top names you'd want to see plastered over the headlines but some real good quality acts dotted about the site.

I agree.

Too much focus on Pyramid and Other when people judge the line up.

Still those two stages serve a purpose.

Dear me this is getting dull as shit, just release the full line up with timings ffs. 

What is dull as shit? I love the area drops. I think it builds excitement. We know we’re not getting the full line up until the end of the month.

Better than the entire festival in the Glade on the Thursday like last year 😄

In poster form, perhaps. 

Area announcements date back to 2011:

[sisco]

Silver Hayes, Stonebridge, Rabbit Hole, Shangri La and The Glade will all pull people to various places.  As always it’ll be busy but…. 🤷‍♂️

its not all of them though is it?  the park only started doing it in 2019.

don't want to get into an argument about it...personally I just prefer it to come out in one go.

Williams Green was great on Thursdays as it must have drawn about 50% of the people onsite, leaving most other places fairly chill.

Always love seeing all the differing perspectives

FWIW ...

I love the way they are doing all these drops at the minute - really ramping up the excitement and you are just waiting for what comes next, building up to the big drop.

I absolutely love the line-up so far - and I reckon there are some surprises still to come. I already know I am going to have clashes all over the place.  Loads of live acts that I really want to see, and then loads of really good stuff after hours as well!

I personally think they have smashed it - can't wait 😁

Ok so what happened to Kidsfield ? Too late ? Had the kids gone to bed ? 

[coma girl]

I like the poster drops being staggered as I think it gives people a push to explore the line up a bit more rather than being overwhelmed by the big names.

It also gives us something to look forward to every few days.
