The thingy has no real pattern though! I dont know what ever occurred to calling it the "menu". You will have to forgive me, I am in and out of my digital life at the minute and catching things in stages..

[Bisque]

IT'S CALLED THE MENU!!!!

[JoBalls]

I've just done actual LOLS at some of this evenings chat guys (mainly at Matt42's secret press conference theory). Well done for keeping spirits up during these bleak announcementless days.

[dentalplan]

Foo fighters, kanye west, florence and the Machine

Sounds very balanced

And very glastonbury

Big stadium touring band

Massive contemporary act

Up and coming new headliner with new material.

It works

Sort of agree but the headliners would all seem to be for a young crowd and a lot of the people that have been going twenty years I could see being really not bothered by any.

I appear to have just been being a muppet...

If I've read through 1200 pages of this waffle over the course of 9 months and it still turns out to be the Flo Fighters I'll not know whether to laugh or cry.

[Andy0808 v5]

For the 12fh weekday in a row; I think it's today.

[greenArmy12]

Really? I don't find her attractive at all.

+1

[Zoo Music Girl]

Hang on - why are people discounting Emily saying it's not Flo? I would have thought that was a pretty good reason why it isn't?

[Schmicheal]

Hi guys, long time reader, just wondered, is there any reason that Tom Petty's name isn't been thrown around at all?

Hasn't (to my knowledge) done it before- although I'm ready to be corrected.

I know he hasn't played a show in 6 months, but I was just thinking and can't see any strong evidence to totally rule him out...

Not sure he was ever rumoured so Emily's comment about the act being on the bookies list goes against him, as does potentially the idea he could be a "Rock" headliner.

So if someone could tell me why he's ruled out that'd be great

[01seb]

Lineup poster is either dropping today or it's not coming for at least another week, in my opinion.

I have always had a good feeling about today....but we shall see.

[DJL]

No real reason beyond the fact her words were (debatably) not 100% clear - 'not headlining but she could'. Other than that it just seems strange she hasn't been announced for anywhere else and we're very nearly out of plausible

alternatives.

Checking in for another day pushing me to the brink of insanity.

6Music breakfast then, right?

God have mercy.

8am...

This degree of uncertainty means we still can't rest completely easy. We're not out of the Wailing Woods yet.

Hoping its at 8, just got in from the nightshift, i was hoping to wake up it it yesterday! really need a few bands AT LEAST

I can't see any reason we can't throw him into the mix. I don't think he's been mentioned before. I haven't seen him in any betting, I think someone said Emily confirmed it was someone on the betting list?

I saw them in 2012 at the Isle of Wight Festival and they were Superb. I wasn't a major fan before hand but was very impressed with their live performance, Mike Campbell played some amazing guitar..

I'd be there to see them again if they did play but I think it's unlikely, no reason other than the fact they haven't been mentioned. so who knows... Hopefully we'll find out later today..

[01seb]

You'd think it would be a morning announcement if it was today, as then it would get a fair bit of media coverage throughout the day.

If it was at night, it wouldn't generate as much coverage overnight/tomorrow morning as its a holiday on Friday.

[Dora]

Sods law it's going to be this morning, while I'm sat on the sofa full of Man flu with my poorly daughter watching team umizoomi.

Suppose it will cheers me up a bit though

[Summertimelover]

I'm thinking it will be today! I'm hoping we get at least some of the line up at least! Headliner would be great but I love checking out all the new bands I have never heard of!

[chazwwe]

Sat up most the night talking with someone and now its getting silly and I should go to sleep and I just want the line up please.

EDIT: PS. Hai Sorcha.

Definitely! Part of the joy is staring gormlessly at most of the line-up, going away, doing a bit of research, finding someone you like, going to their gig, finding it's someone you love, then being a big fan. I love that process!
