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.

* (caveat: I fully expect to be proven wrong)

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.

    • How much is Burnham's success down to Manchester getting a shitton of investment for public transport infrastructure?   There's no doubt he did the work, but the money dumped into Manchester for him to achieve that was huge - the most of any infrastructure project outside London ever. Did that need a mayor, or just the money?
    • Sounds good tbh. 
    • Bristol was the only city in 2012 that voted for a mayor. We had a local independent who was popular, then Marvin Rees won and was so corrupt that Bristol voted to get rid of the position - having just had the WECA mayor position put in place as well.
    • They built a watering system and have been watering the island for the past few weeks to reduce dust, but given the current drought, there will still be dust. They will cover twice as much ground around the main stage with those plastic panels as they did before. They couldn't book Gogol Bordello because the singer was afraid the government would allow Russian security services to capture him if he entered the country. They didn't have much room to be selective about artists. They booked whoever they could get. This year's Sziget will be only about 50% of his original vision. He wanted a dedicated rock stage. They are preparing for a loss of 1.5 billion HUF this year. For some reason, student tickets are not selling in the numbers they had expected. He said that when he talks about the lineup being less important, he doesn't mean Sziget should have a weaker lineup than Primavera. Rather, it should have a similarly strong lineup combined with much more non-musical programming, so people from abroad come here to see the same artists but have a completely different overall experience. He didn't miss Sziget and originally wanted to spend no more than two days a week dealing with it, but now he's working on it full-time and has handed over control of the rest of his businesses.  
    • Well the point seems to be 22.7% turn out doesn't suggest the majority are rushing out to support the mayoral system.
