I don't think it's inconcievable they could go for lunch and be chatting about it.

Believe me having worked in the service industry for a while when i was young, people have some bizarre conversations in public.

It seems a bit cynical to say they're after publicity, in that neck of the woods I'd imagine good work of mouth is more important than twitter.

Maybe it was just a bit of craic?

That's hardly inconceivable

yeah, they were chatting about it so much that no one at the pub heard any of the names they mentioned. :lol:FFS people, c'mon! Wake up to yourselves, and to what people bullshit about.

U wouldn't hear fuck all people were talking about in my local. So suppose it depends on size of pub and distance from bar.

But on another note this is getting ridiculous, I'm speculating about the size of a pub I'm never gonna visit.

The "full" line up is only ever revealed in May, isn't it? I'm assuming when people talk about wanting the line up they mean a mini-poster like last year.

Yeah we're on about the initial poster that will confirm about 80/90 of the biggest names

Everyone is so cynical! Probably just popped in for lunch, staff maybe know them or clearly at least recognise them, may have said "hi mr eavis, great to see you, any clues on any acts" (well I would if I were working there!) to which he replies "no but all will be revealed tomorrow". He's said elsewhere that it will be today so would be nothing surprising about that. "Chatting about the acts" doesn't mean they were naming names, maybe they were just saying how excited they were about them this year. Maybe they were talking about Kanye west. I think it's all perfectly plausible. We'll see...

I'd just like to point out they used the words "should be revealed tomorrow" so haven't actually taken responsibility for today really.

I think it "should be revealed tomorrow" but don't hold me to it.

they knew he was talking about the line-up - for definite - but they don't know when it's being announced, and didn't ask?

C'mon, ffs. :lol:

We can't be far off a 100 name poster though.

Imagine waiting until May for anything. I'd hate that.

2014 edition was announced April 4th - http://www.nme.com/news/various-artists/76511

Metallica confirmed as final headliner in May. So that would conform to people's expectations of an initial batch today/imminently, and then a full line-up in May.

    • Another great weekend with family and friends.  We spend most of our time between Obelisk, and second stage due to having young children.  Overpass, Florence Road, Nathan Evans, David Byrne and Alex James were the highlights for me.  Quite enjoyed a dance to Gok Wan on the Saturday too.   Certainly feeling the Latitude blues this week and looking forward to next year.   Also looking forward to all the predictions for next year in the 2027 chat.   Hope everyone had a great festival.    
    • 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.
