matt2007 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Mary-Anne Hobbs has just said there will be a massive announcement on the breakfast show on ties from 7 am, not sure what it's about but straight after they had a promo that mentioned glasto many times. This is all too much for a Sunday morning with a hangover and too many kids in the house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I'd imagine it's the Latitude announcement, due on Tuesday, which has a partnership with 6music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Music Girl Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I'd imagine it's the Latitude announcement, due on Tuesday, which has a partnership with 6music. Is the full line-up due on Tuesday then? That's exciting. Was considering it as a possible additional festival but was very underwhelmed by the first run of acts.

ian the worm Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I thought it may be Glasto related too. I can't get 6 music at work at 7am, so I'll just check on here at 7:05am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcatraz Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) This isnt anything to do with Glastonbury (or Latitude) I dont think. The specific promo for the announcement (which theyve just run) suggests this is some event theyre doing in Manchester, and corresponds with a billboard in the city Edited January 19, 2014 by Alcatraz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcatraz Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Even though I wouldn't like it, can it have something to do with Oasis? Unlikely. Something like that wouldn't stay under embargo for a second, and I'm not certain the BBC are allowed to support one band like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efcfanwirral Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 If it is indeed a manchester event I'll be pretty happy as I live here. Hopefully a proper event not something you have to apply for tickets to go at Media City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRLY Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Yeh doubt it's latitude, they defo wouldn't have a billboard in manchester if it was. Might be some new small festival or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efcfanwirral Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 That's what I'm thinking- something small in Heaton park or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efcfanwirral Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 And if they did that they have two ready made potential headliners who actually do shows on the station! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesrfisher Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 It's going to be Latitude, on their Facebook page and on Twitter have said 2nd headliner announced on Tuesday. 6 Music are a Latitude partner and name the 2nd stage. On one of the forums there is a report from The Independant (also sponsor Latitude) that there will be an announcement on Tuesday via 6 Music from Manchester. Don't think 6 Music would be doing 2 announcements for different festivals on the same day, not good pr. I could be wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The60ftOctopus Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Lauren live from Manchester Lauren comes live from Manchester and brings you a special announcement. 21/01/14 Show description from here Live from Manchester, eh? Oasis are reforming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Lawn Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Why the hell would Oasis announce their reunion on one radio station, which is digital only and relatively small in the grand scheme of things? In the entire city of Manchester, there are one or two other things than Oasis, not many, but some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr November Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 6 Music are based in Manchester, are they not? Therefore all their live shows are 'live from Manchester'. Gideon Coe has New Order in concert at 9pm that day. Though I can think of no reason why it would be a New Order related announcement, I might go with it as my prediction.
