Next Announcement 2017 Thread

[Nobody Interesting]

As the Rumours page has not been updated could this mean an official announcement of The Jacksons is on the way?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Given that they keep banging on about not being able to control their feet socks are probably the least of their worries

Socks should always be worn with fully covered footwear.

No socks looks bad and makes the shoes smell worse.

Where do loafers come into this?

No-show socks. Although I'd say the same for any type of shoe worn with shorts.

What's next on the agenda?

They require a pair of crisp white cotton socks.

The final word on shorts and socks.

Ice white shoes, ice white socks with double cadet stripes

"How do you sleep at night?"

"On top of a pile of money with many beautiful ladies."

Outrageous episode

[Tuna]

"Let's get silly" is literally the perfect video caption for what is about to come.

I know a lot of the info in this article is already known, but Emily saying 'We've made a couple of bookings tonight' caught my eye. If the NME is to be believed (I know!), who was at the awards that she might be referring to?

That You Me at Six lad was gunning for a slot. Said he was talking to them after.

I was hoping for a better rumour than that, if I'm honest!

You overestimate the calibre of guest the NME awards attracts.

if they really made some bookings it's likely to have been sorted with agents and not bands.

[bellboy]

So, if they have booked twice as many bands the options are:

- twice as many stages

- stages are open for the twice the time

- bands are getting half the set time

- any combination of the above

It could be that what she meant was that they've booked twice as many bands as this time last year but left it vague as it sounds better but she wouldn't do that - would she??

Or the fifth option: standard Eavis hyperbole.

[CaledonianGonzo]

It probably is hyperbole, yes, but if it means anything at all I'd read it as indication of line-up quality rather than quantity.

i.e. in a regular year they'd have either Diana or Baz, but this year they've booked them both.

Speaking optimistically, of course.

[01seb]

I think it means that they have booked a lot of bands that would've probably played next year if Glasto was on, but may have had to accept lower slots to be able to play this year. 

Thats pretty damn exciting. I'm expecting a very strong lineup, with lots of quality early on. 

[big__phil]

Yeah, think it's probably an indication of quality rather than quantity.

[PorkSoda]

it seems that way with the rumours at the moment, gonna be a busy one

I'm definitely going for that one.

[The Nal]

Twice as many bands, halving the set times so all bands can just do medleys of their songs.
