was it not someone on here who told him that?

I don't think so, think he said somewhere that someone had just been in touch to tell him it would be announced on Thursday, don't quote me tho 

[CaledonianGonzo]

It had got to the point if they revealed someone that wasn't Ed it'd be a bit of a climbdown from having the current biggest act on the planet as an exclusive.

Fair play to Ed, rising up through the ranks like that. Still can't forgive him for that Galway Girl monstrosity that has done permanent damage to my ears. 

[muffin]

Indeed... fair play to Ed Sheeran. He has talent and he's done well. *pats patronisingly on his ginger head*

But i will be anywhere else, anywhere.  I mean... anywhere.  ANYWHERE.

yep, that did come from someone on here.

And without being ungrateful for him telling me - cos I am grateful - I've already admitted in another post I've just made elsewhere that I didn't much believe him about it, while at the same time knowing it might be right 9which is why I passed it on by posting about it).

 

[kaytee...]

Fair play to the guy but I'll gladly be spending my Sunday night as far away from the Pyramid as possible. 

[Gucci Piggy]

If they give us Kendrick Lamar/Frank Ocean before him and Nine Inch Nails/Bon Iver opposite him then I'll take it.

So...when do we think the poster will drop?

Me three - though I do have that horrible desire to be nosey for 5 minutes.

I am sure that feeling will pass once the medication kicks in though.

27th.

So, the Green Day rumour is still alive and kicking.

Fingers crossed.

[Gucci Piggy]

Ye last year there were 11 days between the Adele announcement and the poster drop so I expect similar this year.

Dull announcement from a dull performer. Next!

But just as with Adele last year, we all know he'll smash it.

You've got to take it whoever is before and opposite him I'm afraid. 

No I cba

How long until the Annual Petition?

Plus I can't even fathom what FB Glastochat would think of Ed's announcement. Pleased?

Dunno but someone on twitter calling it "the worst lineup of any festival".. hopefully they'll put their money where their mouth is, bung their ticket back in the pot and enjoy a bit of Rod Stewart at IOW instead.

I suspect you're right. I was just hoping for another inventive announcement as it would have set the bar for the next festival.

[Lucy92]

Award for most underwhelming announcement... 

[Bisque]

I'll be down the front at the Pyramid Sunday night. At least we can move on to properly discussing subs & Other stage.

...goes to Channel 4! Think Ed must've paid them to outdo him, giving once-lovely Bake Off to Noel bloody Fielding. Shambles

I'd rather watch Rod Stewart than Ed Sheeran to be fair
