A Guy Called Matt Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I shall Sit Down and wait hopeful of an announcement that will please us all........................ Oddly enough my Ipod, which is on random shuffle just started playing Sit Down by James as I started typing this!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSheff Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Hmmmm. Wonder if we will get both Sat & Sun TBC tomorrow or just 1. It must be a crowd pulling act as they are trying to release the name ASAP. Either way I have just paid the balance off on my ticket. Roll on may!!! 1st time at Bearded Festival!

Ringo_Spar Posted December 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Will definitely only be the Sunday headliner - and a few others - but definitely no announcement tomorrow regarding Saturday headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the crack with Saturday headliner. Is the artist booked but BT are unable to announce? Or just not booked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airds Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I was more than happy with what has been released so far, so wasnt that fussed about the next announcement, but then it was going to be this weekend, then it was delayed and then it was delayed again and now I cant wait......weird that ? Is this some clever marketing trick that sucks you in, maybe you should do all announcements like this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoghurt on a Stick Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Do Bearded Theory have to resort to such measures to sell out of tickets at an appropriate point? If such a thing exists, then I wonder if it is borne out of fear or economic necessity. Or for many other reasons which elude me right now.

If such a thing exists, then I wonder if it is borne out of fear or economic necessity. Or for many other reasons which elude me right now.On this occasion it really has been a bit of a ball ache that is out of BT's hands. Late last week the go ahead was given to go early. However illness at "the other end" on Friday meant the actual press release wasn't signed off, thus it ran over to yesterday when there was a further delay to this sign off. Hence yesterday afternoon it was decided to hold back until this morning. That's a level of transparency that you wouldn't get from many other events. When this headliner announcement finally comes out in 3 hours time, a lot of people will be very happy. EDIT: This is BT's highest profile booking yet.

In reality I doubted very much that BT had to rely on such tactics. In fact, I'd have bet my bollocks on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidding! Ha ha, I thought that, then stopped myself. Thing is, I am already pleased with this line up and Magical Sounds is still to come, but yet I find myself counting down till the announcement and looking on here every 2 minutes, when I should be working!

I agree - I utterly love the line up so far especially for the Sunday and this announcement will give me difficulties as I want to see Neville Staple!!! Maybe I will be skanked out after an early evening with the Beat!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastCaring Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Well, I'm glad that's made a lot of people happy! More space for us down the front of Neville Staple! I don't know why, but I just don't get the attraction of James - far too po-faced for our tastes .... We prefer a good knees up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perks Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I wonder how many tickets will sell today / next few days just off this announcement. Great work by BT,festival just gets better every year. Made my day that has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
