Well cheeky.

[Miesh]

I was at a wine tasting last night.  On of our group asked if there was a reason certain wines were on a particular table etc. Someone replied "no there isn't" 

I raised my glass and with a smile said "there is no pattern" The only response I got was a funny look.

Did you also add #hailtothethingy?

 if I had they would probably have taken my glass away from me and given me water instead.

According to Emily's two weeks it isn't coming this week. Which suits me as I have an exam on Thursday.

For some strange reason I got an image in my head of Blackadder hailing the thingy and Baldrick falling over while attempting to do it.

Personally I always find standing up at a random moment and bellowing - Brian Blessed style - "UNLEASH THE THINGYYYYY" works wonders.

When did Emily say the full line up would be? I remember seeing her reply to someone with a vague date

She said 'in a few weeks' I think. And that was about a week ago. I believe it was on instagram.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong  I think the general consensus is it'll drop w/c 23rd.

Pretty sure she said it would be in a couple of weeks time. That was about a week ago.

Is it just me who would kinda like to go back to the early 2000s system when you didn't get a full lineup until you got the programme at the gates, was so exciting searching through for everything you wanted to see.

That'll be just you, KryziF.

Don't you know about The Schedule^TM?

[KryziF]

Is the schedule your crazy run round like a nutter to see as many bands as possible? If so it'd still be possible you just have to plan it on the Weds when you arrive

[Gnomicide]

In the early 2000s the lineup was announced prior to the festival so it will have been earlier than that.

But pedantry aside, I wouldn't like it. I prefer having the opportunity to investigate and find stuff you like before you get there.

So, we have:

1. The Thingy (all hail, etc...)

2. The Menu (artist, stage, time...)

From which with Dr. Ben produces:

3. The Schedule

I bet there are people that go who only know the headliners when they step through the gates, so I think with a bit of work it's doable. Wouldn't volunteer for it though.

Oh dear.

Listmania looms. We need an anouncement for distraction...

From my memory they announced the headliners in advance but not really much more detail. Certainly no more than you have on the current poster. Could be wrong though, I remember buying Q magazine to get the line up a couple of weeks before but that was pretty much the pyramid and other, but still having to find out everything else from the program.

Yes, that's excatly what it is!

And NO, it would not be possible without the full website beast being available for at least three weeks beforehand! Do you have any idea how much homework is involved to create The Schedule^TM?

I seem to remember  in the early 00's the full line up was published in the Guardian on the 1st of June for most of the stages (except the tiny ones that often weren't in the program anyway)

That would be awful.
