I always think it will be announced at either 7am 8am or 7pm 8pm. Never any other times. Historically is this the times glastonbury announce stuff or is it just something I've made up?

[FrancisH]

If it's not today then I believe it will be another day, you heard it here first.

I always think its usually 7pm or 8pm too. No idea why!

[Djb.com]

Maybe 9am?

[kalifire]

This is the last specific day that logic can be applied to an announcement really, isn't it. There are good reasons for it being today, in relation to the ticket balance window. If it's not today, it might as well be any day in April - there's no better reason to announce it tomorrow than there is to announce it on 10th, or 14th, or 23rd or any other date. The only other logic would be to announce names prior to the resale.

EDIT: I suppose there's also logic in it being announced tomorrow, once the balance payment window has closed.

I thought logic was lost in this thread about 400 pages ago?!

Most logical comment of the thread.

[yellowsnow]

I know the 'thingy' is going around with the announcement dates from previous years but has anyone any clue about times?

[Mezhyp1]

I don't see them announcing it during the balance week, unless there is a lot of people holding off on paying tickets, which I don't see being the case at all

Gives radio 1 an exclusive and a chance to play the more adult orientated music. Also it means the papers (especially the guardian) get a chance to run it before it's all over tv

[Lucyjane83]

no chance was Snoop 100k, look at the opening frame from the BBC highlights of his set.. field's half empty!

Thanks for posting that. That was prob the most fun I've ever had at the pyramid stage. It was absolutely boiling and a few people around us were armed with super soakers. For once, I was happy to get absolutely soaked at Glasto.

O Neil, Where art thou?

[st dan]

If they were concerned about how the sales were going and were planning to use the line up as a push, then I'm sure they would have done it by now.

[SteveTLizard]

Hang on, the fella in charge of the efestivals line ups page has gone off the radar ......... what could this mean????

[FloorFiller]

yep, ticket payments must be going smoothly as ever. wouldn't surprise me if this is how they do it in future years now - if people are willing to pay up beforehand, then why not always do it this way? now just to see if they're daring enough to hold out until after the resale (which i don't see happening - but then i didn't see it getting this far either)

[Diva Sam]

Nah he hasn't, he's just updated it with the Van Morrison rumour.

Lets work ourselves up into a frenzy until Neil appears with

a) ...... no news

OR

........some news and we can all get excited!

[Andy0808 v5]

I swear the lineup with TBC came out during balances last year, it's not impossible that they'd release it without the intention of boosting sales.

I'm of the impression now that I'll get it when I get it, I've had too many palpitations and episodes because of this lineup already

[robu]

Can someone please explain why most people appear to think the line-up will drop at a nice neat time like 8am, 7pm, midday etc?

Why not at 9.42am or 1.16pm or 8.32pm? Has it always previously dropped bang on the hour?

[Perks]

The only good thing about Kylie playing is she would undoubtedly invite Nick cave along to try and give herself a tiny shred of credibility

It would fail of course as the rest of her songs are all mind numbingly shite

I wholeheartedly concur

[Divein]

Hang on, the fella in charge of the efestivals line ups page has gone off the radar ......... what could this mean????

He's been off the radar since Thursday. Probably writing up his line up announcement. Or he's been doing that thing the rest of the normal world has been doing and enjoying themselves over the long weekend.

In all seriousness though, surely we're due some news this week. Everyone back in the office and stuff

[Lord Rooster]

I'm going for April 27th, or sometime in that week. This is based solely on the assumption that the main resale will be on the 26th and that the organisers want the festival to be 'fully' (ignoring late cancellations and the smaller resales) sold out before announcing the bulk of the line-up.

[kalifire]

OR

c) ........ overslept.

[SteveTLizard]

Ah balls .... oh well off to work, more straw clutching later no doubt
