Last year, the 'stand by yer beds' tweet had already been posted by this time before the initial announcement. If Neil doesn't hint at having received the press release by about 3/4, I'm gonna say it'll be next week.

The ones i can see: Billy Lockett, Darlia, Murdo Mitchell, Propeller, Lil Silk, Chemna.

I've just had some interesting chats with some well-connected people who've phoned me to ask if there's an announcement tonight - and no one has any info that there is, and no one seems to think that if there was, (just) bands like these would be the ones saying that it was coming.

I've seen or heard nothing, and that's apparently the case in all of medialand.

How far in advance were you emailed about the first announcement? I know you said but i've forgot sorry

I knew nothing of that one in advance. The first I knew about it was when the missus woke me up after hearing it on the radio.

However, if I'd have been checking my email, I'd have known about it at around 8.30pm the night before, when someone fairly random (but that we already knew got good info) mailed in to say he'd heard it was happening.

I've put a few feelers out, and hopefully I'll get something back in the next few hours which will give a good indication either way.

Personally, I still reckon next week - but that's purely a guess.

The shangri la Facebook page leading with 'Not ,meant to give to much away but heres the amazing BAr Of IDeas line ups' as some stated shows they have the line-up but were not supposed to give anything out yet!

Thats proberbly the smallest stage in Shangri La aswell!

Damn. Suppose its unlikely that it would be happening without media types and Neil being informed first.

that's not necessarily true.

However, given Metallica's history, I wouldn't be surprised if the first real noises of an impending announcement come from around them - they seem to like letting a select few in on their secrets a day or so before any announcement of theirs (and I'm pretty confident that nothing of that has happened as yet, tho I can't be 100% on that).

I'd say it's looking pretty likely that it will be tonight.

It "feels" a bit like the afternoon before the 6music announcement - and the people usually "in the know" didn't seem too confident that the original announcement was coming at that stage either.

    • My understanding is that the queues returning back to the UK will be much worse (up to two hours) but the queue entering Lisbon isn’t so bad. That’s just from reading a few forum posts about it though so take it with a pinch of salt!

    • World Cup 2026: What is happening with ticket prices? - BBC Sport   Sounds like Infantino has been learning from his buddy if he's running around claiming its all sold out while quietly dumping tickets below face on assorted secondary websites.
    • Mac DeMarco also cancelled 
    • I'm British so it very much would apply for me.   I mean, it's a moot point as I don't have tickets so will not be in town for this, but I've heard reports of lengthy queues and given I remember Lisbon Airport having a long queue at arrivals even pre-EES when I went in 2023, I seem to guess it might be quite the wait, depending on flight paths.   Certainly, the worst I've had pre-EES was a 45 minute wait for a stamp at Valencia Airport in Spain, where 4 flights to non-EU destinations in quick succession were placed one after the other. So I can't say I'm enthusiastic about what's in store. Or you know. Maybe I'm just overthinking it.
