I wouldn't say I was local as such - just someone who knows some people. As for the lack of anything, it is odd. Is this the latest a line up has been announced before?

Nah, always used to be in June.

In 2009, it was May 25.

It has only been April-ish time since 2010.

To be fair if you got a ticket and have been dead excited about going then I can't see any reason for missing the payment date

because people are stupid (and also might have other things going on in their lives right now - a few reminders here and there wouldn't go amiss, just in case)

Yes- the "big" acts are either staying quiet or they are none existent.

Not quite true. Florence and the Machine, Ben Howard, Paloma Faith, Alabama Shakes and Frank Turner all gave the game away and they'll all be in big slots, one of them probably subbing the Pyramid. Edited by Zac Quinn

Has anyone ever looked back at a previous Glastonbury they've been to and thought fuck...why did I see that band instead of another? Mines Glasto 1999...saw Basement Jaxx headline Other Stage while David Bowie was on Pyramid. Regret!

Last year they must have thought everybody was retarded, because they made 4 tweets about the deadline ( Had too go back and check)

something weird is going on

I've heard Bowie in 99 was a bit of a non-event.

Oh yeah I mean I don't doubt peoples stupidity or forgetfulness, I think I often forget that not everyone with a ticket to pay off is a Glastonbury obsessive.

Did not know any of these self confirmed? Flo laughed when she was asked. All the rest are not as big as I'm thinking when I say big self confirmations I mean surprise confirmations. You look at all them and none of them are a surprise. I just presumed they would be there somewhere anyway.

    • 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.
    • I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
    • Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
