announcement

[whohuddle]

I was cautiously optimistic that there would be an announcement tonight. Now this guy's shown up I'm convinced it'll be next week.

`who`?

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Give us the line-up you shits!

Leave it out yo. They don't have to put on the best festival in the world y'know.

[Comfy Bean]

It was announced the day before the big weekend last year...

Ahh..good point well made Joe. I really hope it is tonight but I'm preparing myself for another 7 days wait.

[Hugh Jass]

Welcome back Baggies

[sime]

I really hope this Baggies guy shows up at the meet! My guess is he will watch from a distance without actually talking in person with anyone. Such a weird little dude...!

[Tigerdragon]

If someone new comes everyday and tells us that the announcement is that day, eventually one of them will be right and lauded for it. Then it'll hurt all the more next year when they troll again.

Edit: this one's baggies. Never mind

Sticking your neck out I see, I like that.

[kalifire]

I'd love to be proven wrong, but I'm in the 1st June club now, almost entirely on the basis of what Glade tweeted.

Glade said next week, so would be 'end of May', which is what Shargri-La and Arcadia have said. Looks like some time next week for me, and probably all together.

Wouldn't be Monday anyway, bank holiday.

That's what they want you to think...

Nah It won't be Monday. The fact it was announced the day before R1 Big Weekend last year makes me think they wont do the same twice so wont be tonight. And Radio 1 will be bigging up their 'amazing weekend' Tuesday and Wednesday - so I see Thursday 28th as the most likely day for a full announcement now

I do wonder where people get their logic from on stuff like this.

I doubt they consider what other people are doing too much, or some kind of pattern would have emerged by now. They just do it whenever. Probably just when it's ready, which could be any time.

Like I said it is just a thought. Personally I don't believe 'they just do it whenever' - I think there has to be an element of thought behind it from a publicity point of view - Admittedly I don't think they analyse it to the lengths that we do here but I would assume if they had it ready, for example on Monday, someone would pipe up and say its probably best to wait a day as it is a bank holiday.

From memory in previous years they strictly kill off all Big Weekend chat after the Tuesday but I may have misremembered that.

Possibly, I'm sure they wouldn't release at midnight on a Wednesday either, there is obviously a bit of thought around the timing. I don't think much though, does it really matter if it's a bank holiday?

WOULD THE REAL ROSES4BAGGIE PLEASE STAND UP

You must be kidding. They ramble on about it for weeks, endlessly playing a handful of highlights and saying what a great time everybody had.

But regardless of that, I hardly think they sit in their office at Pilton and say "ooh, we'd better not announce the line-up for our sold out festival today, because Radio 1 are talking about something else..."

It would be like announcing it on a Sunday. People are generally away from media outlets more doing other things and less people are working in those media outlets in the first place
