I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that the line-up always dropped on a Wednesday*.

I'd always assumed it was because Thursday newspapers used to be the largest and the most closely read of the week, so smart PR operations knew to drop news on a Wednesday -- better chance of it getting a decent show and being seen. I'd also assumed that the Wednesday tradition had then continued in the digital era, when newspaper habits became no longer as crucial.

random question have they ever announced the lineup so late in a day? pretty sure last couple of years it came out midday/afternoonish....would they do an evening announcement?

hey Penguin, you ok? what with the 1D thing today and all.. there's probably a helpline or something, and we're all here for you big guy.

The most baffling aspect of today for me is how come Matt42 doesn't know what his dinner is.

Doesn't he make it himself when he gets in and chooses whatever he wants for dinner himself?

Or does someone make it for him and decide what it is?

Intriguing...

I think Mummykins42 makes it for him, he can't be trusted to decide what to cook

Just want to say a big 'fuck you' to all..

after losing my password shortly after the festival last year and my uni email account shutting down so I could not retrieve it I retired from these forums, still checking in every day just to see if Mike99 had returned (as well as get the latest rumors) vowing never to post again.

The madness over the last 3 hours has had me so aroused that I had to create a new account, However In the intensity of it all I created an account and sent it to an email address that i'm not even sure it exists (R.I.P Andy0808 v4)

Very glad to be back.

p.s I'm not Roses4Baggie (Although that is something he would say)

Efestivals is now arousing! What a result, I've always said this place should be sexier, I do my bit.

Don't be ridiculous. Jesus is DEFINITELY big enough to headline the Pyramid, it's a joke to suggest otherwise. You're completely mental if you think he'd only be on Other.

    • Disclosure Day was fun.  It's very Spielberg but probably not an all time classic Spielberg. Nothing particularly original but it's well made, good performances (exceptional performance by Emily Blunt) and for a 2 hour plus blockbuster it flew by. Not everything worked, but I don't want to say why to avoid spoiling. Then again, it's not like there are too many shocks in this film. 
    • Do these early birds tickets sell out fast, or is it ok to wait for the w-e ?
