Headliners 2015

[Bignews]

can i have a summary of anything important today please? was seriously hoping today would be the day while i'm not here

[Rose-Colored Boy]

They didn't, they were put as a strong rumour because they're playing Great Escape and they share a booker with Glastonbury iirc.

Fairly sure there's a video interview of them saying they were playing knocking around? Might be thinking of someone else

Neil said he has good information that the 3rd headliner is someone they have been trying to get for ages who is male and has a band. Think that was about it for today.

Might be prince, might not be prince

Might be bowie, might not be bowie

Balance window is closing shortly, glasto has not done any social media stuff to remind people

Hmm, the only video confirmation I can think of is The Maccabees?

So, anyone else going to be checking back at 23.59?

The idea that they'd announce it before the end of the balance window is because it's unfair to expect people to pay without knowing the lineup, isn't it? Doing it at 23:59 doesn't really satisfy that.

John Squire back in the studio, looking more like Frank Gallagher but seems there is something brewing for the Roses?

I was thinking they might announce it as soon as the window ends, which is at 23.59. It was also a bit of a joke, really, but not a very good one

[zero000]

Lineup announcement at 00:00 of Prince to headline. Those people who didn't pay up would shit purple bricks.

Ahh fair enough, that makes more sense than the way I was looking at it.

Yeah I was gonna add that I thought it was probably a joke but couldn't be bothered

[Daisygrubber]

Any coincidence that Bowie's serious moonlight tour is on sky Arts...probably

To be honest I think now from a fairness point of view they need to wait til after the resale...

[Scotrsman]

I'm not expecting anything much for a couple more weeks. Gives them time to sort out the headliner, then drop the line up just before the resale.

[Scotrsman]

I do agree that it should be after the resale though. It's not like it won't sell out in minutes either way.

[efcfanwirral]

After resale should in theory mean less demand (I hope!) and it is quite unfair on those who paid deposits to drop a lineup before the resale. Maybe this is all wishful thinking and something massive will be announced to make the resale a slim chance

dunno maybe reverse psychology.. because the lineup ISN'T out people will think that they have someone HUGE and go for tickets.

Not sure how it is unfair. They had a ticket and chose not to pay for it.

[TheWineguy]

Agreed. Doesn't state anywhere that lineup will be announced before you have to pay off ticket so anyone moaning needs to stop and get a grip or don't go. Pisses me off.

I hope not!! Banking on that resale day. If not its Ibiza that weekend in June...and I do not want to be going there then

[JoBalls]

If it IS Prince, I expect that Glastonbury would want to announce him fairly quickly after he signs the contract, to reduce the risk of him changing his mind.

Either way, as we haven't had an announcement today, it could realistically be at any point between now and the refund deadline on May 8th. If they've had a lot of balances not paid then that may prompt them to do it before the resale, but there's no way of us knowing whether that is the case.

So basically, I'm not going to get any work done for the forseeable future!

David Bowie was an answer at my pub quiz tonight. I'm telling you, it's him.

[MichaelsBeard]

That's the balance window closed then...
