I can’t imagine she’d share anything to do with this year’s festival to be honest. It would be a bit disrespectful to the rest of the panel given they’re all there to talk about something else. 

If the rest of the panel had any respect for themselves they'd be asking Emily as well😅

I think turning an important panel event into a big news story wouldn't be the best look unless something has been agreed beforehand.

I broadly, but there's degrees before it becomes a big news story.

Announcing "All 3 headliners are female - O-Rod, Dua Lipa, and SZA". Would be far too much.

Saying "we've got strong female representation this year", and illustrating it with a handful of names (maybe one significant and a couple mid-tier) really wouldn't.

Yeah that's probably fair

My main concerns are.

1. Phone signal: The Sheldonian Theatre is over 500 years old.

2. Even if I have signal, being told to turn phones off completely. 

Will obviously try my very best, I'm going to it basically to hear Emily and if Q&A happens ask her about the line up, although I'm sure it will crop up anyway before that........

c'mon, you can do it, i used to do reports by phone from glasto licence hearings.

Thanks was part of what established efestivals

I'm actually really interested in the talk itself and wished it was streamed... So although crumbs of news are welcome, if the people present could give us the highlights of the talk itself it would be nice too!

Good luck agent @gooner1990 we are here for it today. Keeping on topic a question could be “You’ve previously said you want to celebrate more women in music including in headline slots. Are we going to be any closer to that this year?”

Fair point 😂 OK phrase the question better than that.

Try to avoid questions that have an easy answer. You want her to give details when answering questions. Which is about how the question is asked.

Just make sure you have a pen and paper for the section where she reads out every name on the poster.

[stuie]

Emily has just finished reading all of your proposed questions and says thanks for the heads up! 🙂

And when she shows you a picture of the lineup poster on her phone make sure you get a photo!

I can't herlp thinking every time I see reference to O-Rod here that we are talking about a firm of 24 hour drainage unblockers

[pablowoods]

Please ask her if they found a bag of ketamine up by the stone circle as that's where my mate reckons he dropped it

[Crazyfool01]

Emily’s just reposted it

Hang on, those variations of that picture we've seen a dozen times were real? 🤔

Still hasn't got the Spice Girls on these 'poster leaks'...can't be real 🤷🏼‍♀️

Those slice girls aren’t real unless it’s a tribute act
