When do they normally release the 1st acts

[gerardfenton18]

This will be my 2nd Glastonbury after 2014, If I remember right they released Dolly Partons name on 28th February, was there any before that or is there normally any before that?

Thanks to Brave Sir Robin, Beaver89 and Dukeicon for putting it together.

Thanks, basically there is no set agenda. I thought as much just wanted a better idea.

 

Thanks

I'd have it as my signature on here if it wasn't so long

[JoeyT]

Maybe it could be pinned as it's own topic?

[Hugh Jass]

Long story short. You might get one name before Christmas... If you're lucky.

That said, we're coming up to that time of year where the big artists announce their big outdoor/stadium shows for next summer. Should give us an idea of who's about at least.

Something like this?

[Gnomicide]

Something like this?

Not sure if this works ok on phone, may have to mess around with it tomorrow.

While I'm at it, does anyone know the balance and resale dates from this year? I'll add them in.

Legend, cheers for doing that!

[Rincewind78]

I think The Foo Fighters are a given must...

 

edit...I've no evidence, of course

Balance was 1-7 April. Not sure about the resale, but I'm guessing it was the end of that month 

[FuzzyDunlop]

Resale was early this year. 19th April 

[Gnomicide]

Resale was early this year. 19th April 

Ta. (and Ta to Matt too.)

I'll update later.

[sheffieldlady]

Excellent work Gnomicide. The Thingy is alive (sounds like a horror film, I take it back!)
