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.

    • A question has crossed my (questionable) mind;   Has the size of the Green Fields remained the same as other areas have expanded / been added on to, since say, 2014 (the last time that I attended)? Are they 'lost' within, or well attended?    That's actually two questions. The second one just slipped in at the end by taking advantage of my lack of means to stop it.    
    • I'd say the same about Kylie.    Annie would be awesome, Duran not so much, and on the issue of them wanting a beanie slot, that probably rules out a fair few others who I think would fit the bill very well... and are legitimately more entitled to a headline, and/or too expensive.   Was just about to suggest Chaka Khan, but see @Gnomicide has beat me to it!    What about someone like Bryan Ferry?
    • It's certainly gone more that way, but then they went completely in the opposite direction and had Cat Stevens.
    • Chaka can, or Chaka can't?  
    • TVOD are playing Blue Basement in London 2/9 with a complete EOTR/Psych Fest shaped hole before their next gig in Lyon on 8/9. Well received in the Big Top last year, reckon they're nailed on for a secret set in the Tipi.
