Next Announcement 2017 Thread

[big__phil]

My guess is mid next week, although that's based on bugger all. Balance actually opens on Saturday the 1st (I thought it would be later than that for some reason), so I guess they'd want to give it at least a few days in between.

Tuesday for me, Clive.

Emily said something along the lines of the lineup being out in March, although my Google-Fu is failing to turn up a link right now.

It was at the NME awards - http://www.digitalspy.com/music/glastonbury-festival/news/a821394/glastonbury-festival-2017-second-headliner-revealed-soon/

Organiser Emily Eavis has reassured everyone that the announcements are coming soon, telling NME of the reveal date: "Some time in March, and there might just be a little thing before.

Obvs the little thing was the Foo's so I'm going for Monday, 10am.

IIRC from The Thingy (#AHTT), last year's poster drop was 'yesterday' (i.e. that same Thursday). 

Given the timing of the balance window (SOOOOO exciting that we're almost there already), it 'has' to be next week and so I'm saying Thursday 30 March. At a time of your choosing.

Just noticed my fridge has six egg cup holders built into one of the shelves. So I'm going for Thursday April 6th.

[Hugh Jass]

No-one is saying Wednesday, so for that reason I'll guess at Thursday.

[Heather90]

Hopefully later next week. Thursday 10.05am

Waiting on hearing about a job that may mean moving abroad so I wouldn't be able to make the festival. Been waiting almost 4 weeks, no rush as we are 2 internal candidates and they haven't decided where to base the job. 

It will be painful enough to have to miss the festival. I can't take the added pain of having already poured over the line up and found some new acts I love

Friday night would be an odd time to drop it.

[across97]

I'd like to think it was gonna drop imminently, someone else would no more about it.

 

Feels like the blue chicken all over again...

[Untz]

On the one hand 6pm on a Friday feels like a shitty time to release it.

On the other, he did say the magic phrase: "Stand by your beds".

I should buy some wine on the way home. Covers all bases.

And you know this because....?

[jparx]

Someone with over 1000 posts and a decent rep will always get my attention with comments like that.

I can't see it happening though. Doesn't Neil have a system where he can tell if there won't be an announcement? Any hints @eFestivals?

[Sweet_pea]

I say 9am next Friday

@THEBOILERMAN come 6.05pm tonight

[merago]

I read that more as being @THEBOILERMAN's guess, rather than him having an inside line.

[defrio29]

I'm pretty certain it's not going to be tonight.. It's going to be either next week or balance payment week. most likely the latter
