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

Yeah it did, it came out on the thursday of the payment window, the difference with this year is basically the petition, whilst it won't do anything and the majority of people who signed didn't have tickets, I believe it got as many as festival capacity which is quite a lot of people so it could have had an impact though it's highly unlikely

Maybe the bands / artists of this day and age are getting greedier with their demands for appearance fees, and the delay is down to the bookers still negotiating with several bands?

If they rush the line up out - maybe they are losing bargaining and negotiating power? And this year they have taken a different approach when booking acts? Would fit in with what Neil has said in regards to the new approach this year, and the reduced number of self confirmations, as well as several bands seem to 'think' they're playing, but aren't sure when and where.

This would make more sense than some of the crazy theories as to why the line up hasn't been published yet.

Word from Neil was that whoever the headliners are, the deals were made weeks ago.

Somebody else here recently said that they're essentially ready to go but that the release was 'complicated'. That does lend itself to ongoing negotiations about the timing of an announcement of people they've already booked.

I can only think of one particularly fussy artist...

To be honest, having it tomorrow morning would actually make sense.

Balances paid up, and you can't really say that the 10 000 or so resale tickets (I'm guessing it's that many) would have an effect on the 3rd headliners' fans buying huge amounts of tickets.

I'm sure they never publish the amount of tickets in the resale, but do we have sources who can give us a ballpark figure? It would be a fascinating statistic on the back of the way it's played out this year.

I thought Neil said he reckons it's around 10,000 most years.

When Metallica were announced everyone believed that Iron Maiden should be playing instead to which i believe they said that Glastonbury would the be the worst place in the world for them to play (or something along those lines)

could be waiting to find out when/if brucey can tour again(recovering from treatment for throat cancer currently). you could be onto something there........in my wildest dreams id hope beyond hope as I fucking love maiden.....but its a very very very very very outsider shot in the dark.

Ah yes. I remember now. Just saw they are been pushed on iTunes. Obviously that means nothing in regards to Glasto but reminded me of them

    • I was assuming September in Stirling might have a different issue tbf in the form of it just pissing it down.
    • Yeah so many of mine seem to be just France v Spain in one semi and England/Brazil v Argentina in the other. But the fact those combos are the obvious ones mean it feels unlikely that'll happen because in World Cup history, you very rarely end up with what pre-tournament looks like the obvious final 4. We all see teams outperform and underperform. Which one is the fall guy is a different matter.   I've said elsewhere that for me, there's a hierarchy of Spain, France and Argentina as the 3 strongest looking, then England and Portugal, then Brazil and Germany, but that overall, they'd be the 7 likeliest to win. So I dunno, maybe this will be the time the Netherlands avenge the failure of total football in 1974 and achieve what they couldn't achieve through whatever the f**k Nigel de Jong was with his 2010 final karate moves.
    • Oh I think Infantino should resign. His handling of the whole WC process has been an utter shitshow. But you know. That would require him having integrity or something.
    • Good Charlotte would be fine third down or subbing. If they can get a bigger sub and still get GC, they’ll play third down.
