Headliners 2015

[FuzzyDunlop]

I suspect this is going to sound like a load of old bollocks but..

Monday, Wednesday or Thursday next week look the best bets.

The whole thing I suspect is in a contract (maybe only verbally) to be now released by Radio one - only as the last 2 have been.

I can't see the whole line up dropping in a morning. Just due to the fact they'd clog up the breakfast show, radio ones most listened to show (esp by kids who are not going to glastonbury and don't care)

So all mornings are out. They wont want it lost when people are at work either.

Wont be friday next week (good friday).

Tuesday evening, England play Italy. A major point of advertising is Twitter / Facebook now. You don't want to get lost under another story. For example, if Wayne Rooney is sent off.. you stop being the most "trended". I'm discounting Tuesday.

Metallica were announced on a Wednesday, so were the Stones. It's balance payment day and 12 weeks to go. Wednesday 1st just seems like the right day to do it to me.

No real reason to discount Monday or Thursday, other than those points, which are pretty circumstantial I admit.

Didnt michael say it was being announced on 1st of april ages ago or have i misremembered what was said

Either way im with Fuzzy in thinking its happening on wednesday

[DJL]

....it's a SIGN

Sign Of The Times. It has to be P*****!

A sign you say? Well today is International Purple Day...

[Untz]

I like the theory that the line up will drop before they remind us to pay up so they can mention it in the email and potentially calm anybody still agitated by Kanye.

Surely next week is too late to be reminding people they need to fork out all their money, I bet most ticket holders couldn't tell you exactly the payment window right now, so they'll send the email tomorrow with the line up tonight.

I have a really strong feeling about Thursday 2nd.

I just can't see them doing it on a Monday, Tuesday is still a good possibility, but I would have thought there's no way they'll release it on April Fool's day (Wednesday).

I like ur logic, but why not tonight or tomorrow night?

[sime]

That's a good thought. Thursday 2nd does seem like a tidy time to release it.

Emily said April.

[SERRIDGER]

is the fact Michael Eavis said April 1st being completely dismissed ?

You can never totally trust anything Michael says

It's michael

That's april fools day

That was said literally months ago

He could of been joking, to say the lineup comes out on April fools day sounds like he's having a joke with whoever is interviewing him.

Neil has stressed a million times as well that we shouldn't even take notice of what michael says, as it's highly likely he's unaware of what goes on now.

it's probably not a definitive date, and more of an "around that date".

[FuzzyDunlop]

Tonight - With IOW announcing tomorrow, I don't see why you would do it tonight. To then let IOW announce something big in 12 hours.

Fri night just doesn't seem right. Lots of people are not in to see it. Especially on a payday weekend.

Last time they just dropped it one thursday morning, it'll probably be next week but I'm hoping we'll get it today but i doubt it

It was a Friday for the mini poster last year.

You can never totally trust anything Michael says

...with regard to the lineup. Important caveat.

[Matt42]

Yup I can't see it coming tonight

Tuesday april 2nd I hope and I reckon...

[JoeyT]

You'll be waiting a while for Tuesday 2nd April Matt...

[thewayiam]

If it wasn't coming by now today I doubt it is until next week.

[Dora]

Never been to IOW so im not entirely sure but doesn't it really rival Glastonbury? I mean for all the other added areas and things to do or is it just a rival in terms of the main stages?

[lime green]

Yup I can't see it coming tonight

Tuesday april 2nd I hope and I reckon...

The next time april 2nd lands on a tuesday is in 2019 i hope your wrong i cant wait that long

[DJL]

Half expecting Neil to hear some vague reference to David Bowie taking a holiday in the west country this year - that should guarantee another 25 pages by lunch time.

I did say this yesterday but IF the intention is to announce it on Radio 1 at 7pm then it would make sense for it to be done when Annie Mac is on (arguably needs publicity as she's just taken Zane's show)

She isn't on Radio 1 next week and Huw Stephens is covering her. For me it doesn't make much sense for him to announce it due to the reasons above.

Therefore I'd say it's either tonight by Annie Mac or next week during the morning on 6 music.

Does Glasto revolve around radio 1 though? It's not reading and Leeds...
