announcement

[Wanderlei]

Is it just me or the announcements picking up pace a bit now?

They have to, or we won't get them all in time lol.

Because of this drip feeding I feel i've been robbed of the "big reveal" this year. Not a fan of this new approach

How many areas are left? seems like we've had quite a few now

arcadia and williams green are the only ones that spring to mind

pyramid/other/west holts/JP and acpustic are part of the main poster imo so wont get seperate line ups(but im guessing here...)

[BlackHole2006]

Assume the big five will be held back, so what else is there? Arcadia, Acoustic, Shangri-la, Williams Green, Glastonbury Free University...

Green Fields still to come.

Two press releases today...Voyuers and Gengahr both confirmed, announcement has got to be so, so close

[swede]

Cant wait for Arcadias lineup, last years will take some beating though

I know it wasnt a full relase but i think Williams green have already had there turn with their updated page on Glasto site.

Gengahr is brilliant news, got an advanced copy of their album and it's one of my favourites of the year, really good

Really looking forward to this album! I've seen them a few times supporting The Maccabees and they sounded great.

5 tweets in one day, the glastonbury twitter account must be being run by someone new

I believe Arcadia confirmed their line up will be out at the end of May. Discounting Friday, that gives them three nights. They've always announced separately to the Festival though, haven't they? I think that particular part of the site probably gives the least indication about what we might get on a larger level.

That's a genius post, I'm surprised no-one else has picked up on it!

I must say this Glade Announcement has ramped up my excitement level as there are a good 10 acts I would like to see in that area alone.

The whole line up this year is good, just without the must see names.

So much I want to see, more than the previous 4 glastonbury's I have been to. (That is without the Pyramid, Other, Park, JP and WH) just not much that I am desparate to.

My to see list is on about 35 names already. I need to whittle that down when stage times come out

Summed my views up perfectly thankyou

Strength in depth this year, especially compared to my feelings last year

Going to be tough!

[CJTM]

what do we actually think the reasoning behind the late announcement is?

to prove a point? embargo? struggled to make bookings with bands having other commitments?

to send us insane?

[FuzzyDunlop]

Very much quality across the board, but last year I had a few stellar names that I couldn't miss. This year is definitely strength in depth.

No reasoning at all - just because they can.................... and it is not really 'late'

Now where is the thingy?

100% agree with this - and I will hate the clashes.

Its not late at all. If anything we have more acts than previous years.

30th May 2013: Full lineup (barring BBC Introducing & Arcadia which came in June)

22 May 2014 - Full Line Up (64 stages)

4 June 2014 - Running times

[CJTM]

I withdraw my earlier question then. I just recalled 2013 being a lot earlier

Maybe because they still have some names to announce who have tickets to sell elsewhere? Keep people happy(ish) by releasing the smaller stages to bring us nicely up to 1st June when the contracts say that it can be released.

and yes, to drive us insane

and it's bound to be 1st June as I'm working a 13 hour day with no access to t'internet

In terms of the main 5/6 stages, we have significantly less than what we've had by early May the past 2 years.

So the 'main' lineup announcement is later than it has been the past few years.

There's all different ways of looking at it but I think the above is how most are seeing it.

I reckon we'll get a few more smaller announcements then hopefully the lot on Thursday night.
