jonwl89 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 How many bands are we expecting to be announced today? First time i'll be running the gauntlet for tickets and wondering how much of the line-up i should be looking forward to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 they normally announce something like 30 in the first announcement, so I expect today to be something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetime Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 probably headliners plus 5 or 6 bands for mainstage and the evening session headliners(is it not called that anymore) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammy2211 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Last year I think it was on the mainstage split something like 10 / 7 / 6 then we had about 8 or 9 R1 tent bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalkShow Bob Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Is it true that this is just because they are a band playing at another festival whom are contracted to not be allowed to reveal their name so the hype for them playing the one festival is not lost? And so only announced after that festival is over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat_man_joe Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 More or less yeah. There are lots of diffrent types of contracts for bands. The bigger bands will eather be on an exclusive contract which will stipulate that they cant play any other English festivals or they will be on a publicity embargo which means that they cant be announced for one festival till the other one is over or its the weekend of the festival.
