announcement

[Andy0808 v5]

Imagine if A13 was Michael Eavis and due to our ungratefulness refused to release the lineup until a day before the festival.. And Neil was in on it the whole time, hence his quietness on this thread.

FFS EAVIS, FFS NEIL

[Spindles]

Maybe it was a group hallucination.

Don't take the brown acid.

[mr flow]

Really, tomorrow you say , can you guarantee that though?

I can guarantee one announcement tomorrow. But what you get, I can't guarantee.

[andyhh]

Was a right in recalling that ME said it would be the 1st of June for the annoucement when he was speaking at the V&A, or was that just for the third headliner?

[WS_Jack_III]

5 weeks to go, could be a late, late full release this year.

[big__phil]

I'm not going to go all A13 on proceedings, but I still believe tomorrow is the day. I certainly know 100% of one announcement and I believe it'll be more than one area being announced. I can't guarantee it's the full line up though. I have no idea on the time of the announcement either I'm afraid

You forgot to say patience.

I've resigned myself to this idea. The late night area lineups although good for some people do not fill the void for me, I don't listen to that in the comfort of my own home and have spent my nights at Glastonbury aimlessly wandering into places until the beat becomes all too repetitive.

The only late night act I like to see appear are the 2 bears or joe Goddard

Mr Flow has the information, Neil is indclinded to agree and cant see no reason why not. I am Team Thursday.

[Spindles]

Will it be announced on the Bob Harrison show?

I thought neil said no full release this week?

[Andy0808 v5]

I thought neil said no full release this week?

Think that was meant to mean a full time and day split announcement

[Callum_96]

I thought neil said there was no 'big' announcement this week, so I took that as no stage splits either but I'm still hopeful for tomorrow

[math125]

we're hearing that there's no 'everything' announcement coming this week, but there will be some announcements this week for some of the areas.

[Acid_Haze]

My prediction is no announcement today, Glade announcement tomorrow, one announcement on Friday (maybe Shangri-La), no announcement this weekend and then full lineup announcement on Tuesday 26th May because it sounds right.

I would have gone for Monday but it's a bank holiday that day.

If this happens, you heard it from me first

[eFestivals]

So what happened to the Glade announcement that was meant to happen yesterday?

Maybe today instead?

that one's tomorrow, I've heard.

[eFestivals]

Has A13 got any tips/ rumours/ confirmations for today, or has the deluded person been downvoted off

been banned off.

[Anderson19]

I'm still really hoping for Ride to be announced aswell.

[eFestivals]

I thought neil said no full release this week?

i said smaller announcements, of individual areas.

Like The Common yesterday.

[Homer]

been banned off.

Any particular reason?

Surely the bands that aren't announced yet will be getting a bit miffed, as there is becoming less and less time for us to get familiar with them before the festival.

We've have a month + of getting familiar with the acts on the initial poster, and would guess the majority of us have found somebody they wouldn't mind watching who they hadn't previously considered.

This then obviously leads to people potentially purchasing tickets for their own tour, album, merchandise etc.

I realise the next batch will be 'smaller acts', but that in itself would make my point more applicable.

[Mouseboy11]

Surely they'll fill out the mainstages if we get an announcement tomorrow? Taking the piss a bit

You are overthinking how much it makes a difference to them.

[CJTM]

I think the 1st of June announcement would have been for The Who, but got forced into an earlier statement because of The Sun leaking the story

[kalifire]

Without wanting to risk getting banned, I can reveal with absolute certainty that if the full line up isn't released by the end of next week, they're not going to do it until June. Patience.

Couldn't agree more. As a smaller (or less well known) act, the lead up to a festival is almost as important to them as actually playing.

This is my first Glastonbury and I must say that by this stage in the lead up to all other festivals I have been to I would have found far more new acts that I have since been to see (whether at the festival itself or in the months and years after).

The list of acts that I have been introduced to through line-up posters is far greater than the list of acts I have been introduced to through seeing them at the festivals
