Headliners 2015

[Space Shanty]

Personally I think that apart from a handful of good acts, the IOW lineup is pretty rubbish.

I am in no doubt that when the Glasto lineup is announced, the IOW one will be quickly forgotten

[JoeyT]

Why is everyone mud slinging at IOW?! Different horses for different courses and all that

Yeah you're right. It's a great festival! Behind Glastonbury only in Britain for me.

I think there's some anger towards them having announcements today before Glastonbury - when everyone on here has been waiting/hoping for it all week.

Random side story, I was chatting to a girl in the queue to Thekla last night and she noticed my wristbands and asked where they were from. I said Glastonbury and she tutted at me "That's just full of old people, I much prefer Reading." I was horrified.

did you pick her up and place her in the nearest bin? if not why not

[Spindles]

No he burnt her tent and poured a cup of piss down her leg.

and quite right too

[Leggins]

What would you prefer, the same drivel of swift, roses, prince, madonna etc etc. if your not allowing people to discuss the major music festival news story of the day for a few minutes then I'm worried.

Think You may have read a little too much into my post.

[Matt42]

Hopefully this weekend is the last weekend we have to endure without knowing who is playing Glastonbury 2015..

[Tdiz]

She would probably enjoy that

[Fivefingerjohn]

Maybe it will be madonna. Totally dismissed it before but it kinda makes sense

[gmb1992]

Away from all the IOW stuff.

I'm thinking nextweek for headliner for sure!

I don't think it will be before Sunday as that's when the clocks go forward which is officially "spring" right?

And on the website it says it will be announced in "spring".

I'm totally overthinking this.....

Apologies, I realise my post came across as slightly aggressive too. Not the intention.

I've heard about 4 different dates be described as 'officially the start of spring' over the last few weeks

Hahaha that did make me laugh, its like the opposite to when I mention Glastonbury at work, "Isn't that full of kids getting wrecked and being rowdy?"

[gmb1992]

I've heard about 4 different dates be described as 'officially the start of spring' over the last few weeks someone in the know needs to create a ruling on this..

They really do need a rule... .

I think the start of Spring is surely the equinox on the 20th/21st March but on Sunday BST begins...

And April is muvvaf*cking Spring!

[Avalon_Fields]

According to the Met Office (So can we let Emily know it's OK to do the big announcement now please?):

1. The next astronomical spring begins on 20 March 2015 and runs until21 June 2015. The astronomical calendar determines the seasons due to the 23.5 degree tilt of the Earth's rotational axis in relation to its orbit around the sun. Both equinoxes and solstices are related to the Earth's orbit around the sun.

She might have a point. I thought a Thekla was a mild curry

Do we think this announcement is going all the way to the bitter end or will there be one loose lips who can't resist to spill the beans before HQ does.

With everyone involved from Web designers, bookers and promoters to dj's and media darlings the number of people who know must now run into the 100's

I think 'spring' is used just as a way to keep us at bay until this point in time. Surely the reality is that they structure everything around their payment system, media attention and keeping Glastonbury in the minds of deposit-holders while all around every other festival is revealing more than they are. I don't think the seasons of the year have anything to do with it.

Placebo confirmed.

Was expecting the balance payment email this morning for some reason

They are dragging their feet with this aren't they?

The problem I have with the astronomical seasons is it has Summer starting at the solstice or midsummer. In my mind it's Spring whilst your planting things in the garden.
