Headliners 2015

[stimo]

RIP. Read her last book relatively recently. Not massively revelatory or anything and she was always too classy to really dish serious dirt but its an interesting insight into Lennon. Particularly around the mid 60s. Just pre Yoko. A lazy amoral fucker.

It's a great read. She always came across as a nice lady

Hardly difficult when compared to the public perception of his second wife

Thanks for your kind words people. It means a lot. A family member sorted my camper ticket (East) and balance this morning so cheered me up. Like I said before, if Taylor plays I'm gonna try and host a party for all you guys. Let's have that line up and let's see Motorhead, Prodigy, Steely Dan and all the GOOD stuff on there

I'm fully on board with this. Steely dan. Now we're talking. TS for you to smile about, steely dan for the navel gazers

why?

[Andy0808 v5]

Sorry to hear that Martin, hope it works out for the best and things turn around.

The glastonbury spirit on these forums alive and well even with no announcement. What a great bunch!

[Callum_96]

Feel for you Martin, hoping for Taylor for you dude. If anything makes you feel better it's the beautiful Glastonbury spirit

Or from the fact that back on 30th October Michael Eavis said the identity of the headliners would remain a mystery "until April 1st". See eg http://www.xfm.co.uk/festivals/glastonbury/news/michael-eavis-no-fleetwood-mac-headliners-2015/

I always take this to mean "not before 1st April" rather than "on 1st April".

It's unlikely they'd have set-in-stone the announcement date 6 months in advance, and it's unlikely that they'd think exactly 1st April was the perfect day to announce each and every year.

I'd say an announcement of some sort is perhaps possible tomorrow morning/early arvo, but if that doesn't happen with Easter in the way it's not going to be until after the resale.

(I don't know either way, I'm guessing).

Could somebody explain the stand by your beds thing please?

[kakam1]

Where's this lineup :-(

[JoeyT]

On another note nice to see chai wallahs will be back after a couple of festivals absence. Hopefully they won't be in Shangri la like they were last time.

In your opinion Neil, hypothetically if nothing more was released before the resale (or at least before payment deadline) do you think it'd make the resale easier or harder?

[Icewulf]

Why do people keep saying "not over Easter" or "Easter is in the way". I don't understand. Is it unheard of to release info over an Easter break? After all, the deposit paying service won't be shut over that time.

I think that's on the money. If an announcement (not the line up but a bunch of names like last year) doesn't arrive tomorrow, I think we'll see it until closer to the resale, but I'd be surprised if they held it back until after that.

The fact that they told you previously there was "unlikely" to be an announcement last month must mean that it was possible and if it was possible, that lends to thinking they're more likely to announce sooner than later this month, in my opinion. If they hadn't any plans to announce until late April/May, they'd have been more likely to say it isn't coming in March categorically.

oh i see, so theres nothing definitively ruling out tonight, you just thought the pub or whatever it was specifically was BSing?

[ImGonnaLive4eva]

Could they actually book Prince after he got annoyed at them last time they tried to?....

i believe its a military phrase to do with an imminent inspection, presuming this is what neil is referring to when he says this

[ImGonnaLive4eva]

I think the pub may have got the wrong end of the stick, interpreting today's balance payment window opening as some sort of line up announcement.

Releasing the line up probably requires work for some tecchies, radio phone calls for Emily and so on. Not the sort of thing you want to do on a day off

Aha! And all becomes clearer. Thanks!

Why do we assume it is a day off though? I'm still working Friday/Monday.

[Andy0808 v5]

Just paid the balance off.

Booked my Anal (annual) leave.

Officially buzzing.

[Andy0808 v5]
