I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that the line-up always dropped on a Wednesday*.

I'd always assumed it was because Thursday newspapers used to be the largest and the most closely read of the week, so smart PR operations knew to drop news on a Wednesday -- better chance of it getting a decent show and being seen. I'd also assumed that the Wednesday tradition had then continued in the digital era, when newspaper habits became no longer as crucial.

random question have they ever announced the lineup so late in a day? pretty sure last couple of years it came out midday/afternoonish....would they do an evening announcement?

hey Penguin, you ok? what with the 1D thing today and all.. there's probably a helpline or something, and we're all here for you big guy.

The most baffling aspect of today for me is how come Matt42 doesn't know what his dinner is.

Doesn't he make it himself when he gets in and chooses whatever he wants for dinner himself?

Or does someone make it for him and decide what it is?

Intriguing...

I think Mummykins42 makes it for him, he can't be trusted to decide what to cook

Just want to say a big 'fuck you' to all..

after losing my password shortly after the festival last year and my uni email account shutting down so I could not retrieve it I retired from these forums, still checking in every day just to see if Mike99 had returned (as well as get the latest rumors) vowing never to post again.

The madness over the last 3 hours has had me so aroused that I had to create a new account, However In the intensity of it all I created an account and sent it to an email address that i'm not even sure it exists (R.I.P Andy0808 v4)

Very glad to be back.

p.s I'm not Roses4Baggie (Although that is something he would say)

Efestivals is now arousing! What a result, I've always said this place should be sexier, I do my bit.

Don't be ridiculous. Jesus is DEFINITELY big enough to headline the Pyramid, it's a joke to suggest otherwise. You're completely mental if you think he'd only be on Other.

    • sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
    • Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
    • I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
    • Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
