Rose-Colored Boy Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfestival_11 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 can i have a summary of anything important today please? was seriously hoping today would be the day while i'm not here 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr gumby Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 So, anyone else going to be checking back at 23.59? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wozwebs Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 John Squire back in the studio, looking more like Frank Gallagher but seems there is something brewing for the Roses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing it at 23:59 doesn't really satisfy that. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero000 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Lineup announcement at 00:00 of Prince to headline. Those people who didn't pay up would shit purple bricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was gonna add that I thought it was probably a joke but couldn't be bothered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efcfanwirral Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 To be honest I think now from a fairness point of view they need to wait til after the resale... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotrsman Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotrsman Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I do agree that it should be after the resale though. It's not like it won't sell out in minutes either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efcfanwirral Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

briddj Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 To be honest I think now from a fairness point of view they need to wait til after the resale... Not sure how it is unfair. They had a ticket and chose not to pay for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWineguy Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoBalls Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) 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! Edited April 7, 2015 by JoBalls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
