I was also lead to believe it was out today, I'm gutted that I'm an idiot for getting my hopes up arggghhhh. Come on M.E sort something out .. you can't tell us that it will be announced on a certain day then with no explanation change the day. :rolleyes: ... mind you .. the day has only just begun lol we might hear something later ( Doubt it though lol ) :D

I dont think anyone definitely said it would be today, it was just speculation.

As neil (mr efstivals) has already said, the springsteen announcement will probably be made after the other UK dates are announced - which is expected to be sometime in the next week. A few days at least will be given to help sell those UK dates before Springsteen is announced at glasto.

I, and anyone for that matter, expect Eavis to want to announce the headliners at the same time. If it is Blur and Neil Young, there is no reason to delay them being announced, so its on Bruce and the 4th headliner given a chance to sell their other dates.

So basically....next monday at a minimum.

Anyone disagree with that analysis?

Id love it if they didn't actually anounce anything until you walk in and get the programme in June!

Not going to happen though, so il take announcements whenever they come around :rolleyes:

I'm sure there was an email or something sometime ago that was Eavis saying there would be announcement today, hope they've kept their word because I'm desperate to hear who the 4th headliner is (presuming the other 3 are the expected).

i dont think its fair really, cus weve all paid for our tickets (i assume) so we deserve to have some sort of announcement,

i still think it was a bit crap that they didnt announce anything before the presale ended, esscentially forcing you to either buy a ticket and hope for the best, or risk not getting one at all

In previous years there was never any announcements until mid to late May, and full bill rarely came out until mid June.

So any announcement, whenever it is in the next month or so, is a darn sight earlier.

Thing about Glasto is it is the whole event as opposed to just the headliners.

Seeing as 90% of Glasto tickets are already sold, will it really effect Springsteens UK ticket sales if he was announced for Glasto before his tour goes on sale? I don't get it. I know Neil said that the Eavis's are waiting till after Springsteens tour goes on sale to keep the promoters happy, but.......... oh I don't know, IM SO IMPATIENT!!!! I want an announcement now!

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
