Would suggest if they do well on the balances we may not get an announcement... or they'll try and leave it as late as they can. An announcement Tuesday morning would b a great reminder for anyone to pay balance that day...

That said it's an interview with Michael a year ago so may not mean too much.

Seems to be Emily at the forefront this year doesn't it?

The twitter announcements, guardian interview, her eFests interview. It reads as is she is booking the headliners and pyramid.

she has been for the last few years, along with her husband Nick (and obviously a team of others).

from Emily's previous comments, it seems that Michael isn't really that involved with booking the artists, so presumably his main involvement is the logistical side of things on the site.

Just caught up with all the posts since yesterday lunchtime. I feel the pain you all went through for the 10pm announcement which didn't happen. Seemed to be from a reliable source though so maybe the line ups fairly imminentish.

Didnt Neil say a while back ME has been very hands on with a particular booking this year? Or I may have dreamt that within the realms of this thread?!

Hopefully but the further we get into the payment window the odds are we're not getting one

I know it was published last year but I'm sure Michaels ambition lasts longer than one festival!

Yeah, he was talking about this as far back as 1999 also as a long term ambition for the festival.

I'm hoping they announce before end of balance payment as a way of getting themselves into the news so people think "Oh yeah, I need to pay that off!"

Why is this any concern of yours? You pay off your own ticket, sit and wait. End of. What others do is their own buzz.

I can just picture Prince sitting in Michaels big throne (of which he does own) with a massive cane, and Michael on his knees begging to release the line up and prince just wagging his finger saying 'no no no little one'

It's been a rough few days

    • I got in for £11.25 in the end, which was absolutely ridiculously good value, and made the queues and overselling of the venue much more tolerable! Sniping in on other people’s unwanted tickets on the day of an event might become my new hobby I think 🥳
    • Ann and Nancy Wilson are planning a final world tour for HEART starting next year. They were never at Glastonbury. They should do it. 
    • sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
    • Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
