Can't they do a 10 minute TV spot and reveal it one by one like they do with the FA cup draw?

Love it! Few specially selected Glasto-goers in a live audience with t-shirts on of their favourite bands there as well.

It'd be interesting to see number '34' (Radiohead) drawn out on the number 19 stage (Croissant Neuf).

Would mix it up a lil anyhow

According to Emily, we're getting the lineup in the next 11 days... meaning that by next Friday we'll have it.

Two of our group are flying to America on Wednesday for a week, so I'm thinking Sod's law is it will either drop when they are on the plane there or on the way back!

I even used to do it with teletext when I didn't know the Wolves score. Get back home and slowly reveal it with my face up to the TV hahaha.

 

 

 

I loathe myself

 

For God's sake Stokesy, I thought you were alright too.

 

 

(Boing!)

Oh dear. Don't sully this fine forum with chants from Sandwell Town FC!

I fly to America Saturday, the last time I went this time of year (2014) the first poster dropped mid trip.. expecting the same thing

It's actually quite a nice surprise when you go on the wifi and a new poster is just staring back at you

[richroet]

In 2013 lineup dropped day before my birthday, last year the day after. This is the year it will drop on my birthday. 

So 28th March it is

I've had three (!) first main stage lineup announcements on my birthday, but that's in mid April so I hope you're right... 

[Gnomicide]

This Thursday I am in a meeting from 14:30 to 20:00. Guaranteed to come out sometime within that time slot.

There's a break at around 16:30 at which time I will check my phone and find out that it is due later that evening. I will then be completely unable to concentrate. No-one will notice any difference.

11 days isn't long to wait - it's all starting to feel real now we've got winter out of the way!!

I can't wait to get a playlist together!

[Nobody Interesting]

Whatever plans they had to drop the lineup might have changed today with the date of Article 50 being triggered.

I know they do not need the media coverage but 29th and 30th March will now be wall to wall brexit. I would think if they are going for March still before the 27th or on the 31st would be more likely.

[SwedgeAntilles]

March poster drop becomes an April poster drop = May's Britain 

[gmb1992]

I don't know if I missed it but where has Emily said it will be the next 11 days?

Is it set in stone?

[dentalplan]

Never honestly seen the Glastonbury poster make the front page of the papers anyway so I wouldn't expect it to be coordinated for a slow news day.

She said in Feb it would be 'next month'. That is all we have to go on.

[Matt42]

I think it'l be in balance payment week

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

In my head it's nailed on for the 6th of April, if it drops earlier it will be a pleasant surprise.

Equally they might see it as something to gee everyone up?

 

But honestly, I think we'll get it in April - probably after the payment window/before the resale.

Reason I do it is because I remember the first few festivals I went to (Leeds 2011/2012) were announced on the radio an act at a time, and I know my first couple of Glasto announcements weren't as exciting just looking at the poster all at once, so I decided to just make it as similar to that old way as possible. Sad, I know

Is there a Spotify (other streaming services are available) playlist for Glastonbury? Could just listen to that and insert some shit patter in between songs to make your own radio announcement

[The Clearest Blue]

I really hope we get it before the 30th, I'm off on me jollies and I would love to have a Glastonbury playlist to listen to whilst I whistle around on a Sri Lankan train!
