Headliners 2015

[Spindles]

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

Well, people are keeping their lips tighter than a nun's chuff this year. Much to my deep sadness.

[gmb1992]

Come on then it's been Spring for days!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tiffpietiff]

Hold up - do we all actually know for sure that Glastonbury is on this year?

[st dan]

With the lack of lineup announcement and balance payment reminder .. It's almost as if they are trying to purposely get as many non-payments as possible!!

[Avalon_Fields]

Thursday 2nd. For sure.

[phimill]

Official twitter has responded to someone say balance payment email is coming out soon - that was posted 18hrs ago - could be this afternoon!

The problem I have with the astronomical seasons...

why do you think every tom dick and harry around every band that's playing Glasto gets given the full line-up?

Why do you think web designers are working on the announcement when Glasto don't yet know when the announcement will be or what will be announced on that unspecified date?

Sorry guys...only dipping in and out of the threads this morning, due to work.

Have I missed the flurry of posts here commenting on Blur's announcement for IOW and how, therefore, they are 'out of the running' for the Sunday night?

Or do we think that it makes no difference to their likelihood?

Not unreasonable to think that their internal web dev person would have a pretty good idea about who is playing I guess, probably most of the office know wouldn't they? But if only a handful of people know then any leaks would be far easier to track back so no point in letting slip info before the official announcement I guess.

[Keithy]

i think they WANT to release it in april, as they said to neil- 'unlikely to be this month' unless a leak forces them to release earlier, think this has happneed before??

The 'unlikely to be this month' could just be there are a few outstanding contracts to be signed before they can annouce the first lot of bands and they don't expect to get them all signed by the end of this month.

Dave already denied them headlining on XFM didn't he?

Wouldn't have thought so. They'll have the template design for the line up created I'd guess and then a short time before the annoucement, will be given the final design with the acts included to publish on the website.

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.

Was she 16? And by old people did she mean people who were older than 16?

Okay so I went to reading when I was 16 and it seemed like everyone else was 16

What?

You really think sick children are more important than endless glasto speculation? Where's your commitment, man?

Disgraceful!

Yeah as far as I know (friend who is web designer and has been known to do festival websites and the like) they use names from the lineup from the previous year to create a new template for this then just replace the names when they are told them (obviously a few adjustments would be needed due to name lengths) also this can all be done in a day.

They might know something if they've been told to make a purple template.

Is there a reason Blur can't do both? Has Neil said they're only doing one festival or something?

[st dan]

The more I think about the delay in announcing the third headliner .. The more I convince myself it's someone 'special'. Makes no sense to not have announced it otherwise. There really is no reason to delay this late.

Blur have ruled themselves out of G, it isn't Blur

[Callum_96]

Dave Rowntree said they aren't doing it on XFM

[BSH]

It's got to the point now that those trolls have made me so pumped for the Roses I'll be disappointed if it's anyone but them. Not even Jesus Christ himself playing jazz flute or 2Pac rocking up from the dead would suffice, let alone the potential prospect of Gary Barlow and the rest of Take That belting out their unique brand of absolute garbage from the Pyramid stage. You F****** B******* trolls!!!

apart from them not announcing yet in most other years

I actually think the opposite - I think they've had the 'special' one in Kanye, and the third will be announced with the entire lineup so that if people aren't as impressed there's a million other things to look at as well..

[Fivefingerjohn]

Anyone got that list of when lineups are announced.

It's a great read
