announcement this month

[eFestivals]

word we've heard is that the main announcement will be this month, but after the resale.

It's likely that some things will be announced at an earlier time than others.

Would tie in with last year when The Guardian announced the West Holts line-up a few weeks in advance on the main announcement.

Makes sense to me, fits nicely

April is going to a fantastic month for me. I can't wait for the announcement!

[Porcelina]

So, pretty much exactly what everybody has been saying for months and says every year.

while people might have been saying it for months they've only been guessing. Anyone who's been saying it for years has always been wrong - apart from last year, tho that was only by chance and not design. Up-to and including last year and for a good number of years, the announcements have been scheduled for the end of May and have (apart from last year) happened at the end of May.

[Porcelina]

And going by Emily's tweets.

Fair enough if it's regularly been the end of May though, I've always thought it was traditionally April.

Thank christ for that. I'm getting sick of the 'insert band name here!' threads that get your hopes up and then turn out to be some crock of shit. Lets just find out who's playing and get on with it

<-- is still smarting about the Pulp news

Neil says that according to ME they're not playing and I'd convinced myself they were a dead cert. So I'm sulking.

I hope they leave it until they have every artist or at least nearly all of them. We had lots of gaps last year and I would prefer a big wham bam cheers eat my big line up f**k you V festival thing please.

[BlackHole2006]

Looking forward to this, reckon theres gonna be some right unexpected gems in there as always.

Could do with this. Not feeling the love at the moment, only Paul Simon so far I'm interested in seeing. Need something to rekindle my enthusiasm.

In the half hour campervan ticket fiasco on Sunday when we thought they had sold out we had a quick 'are we still gonna go?' moment.

Hoping there are some lovely gems about to be confirmed that get the Glasto buzz going again

<-- is going to sulk about Pulp for quite a long time

[Guest blackcockerel]

It's starting to look like a poor year for me, going on what's rumoured anyway

[russycarps]

I'm pinning a lot of hopes on the sunday other stage headliner. It's ace when there's a band you really like closing the festival on one of the big stages. Means that even when you are having a brilliant time, you know you still have something potentially even better still to come.

If someone like underworld are announced it will be a blow

I'm sure you at least will be a happy bunny. Michael has been heard to mention that for people his age it's a fantastic line-up this year.

Are there normally many surprises? Like I assume usually 90% of the 'rumours' are correct, but how often do big surprises come up?

Anyone decent I can think of have either been ruled out already or seem too unlikely. I like loads of bigger older acts so Neil's post gives me at least some hope
