Didn't even wait 'till tomorrow.

Fuck sake I almost said tonight as well haha.

[jparx]

Hahaha. I love Glastonbury. That's so fucking random.

Could they be preparing for an updated poster and it just leaked out early or something?

Maybe the guy was right about the WH headliner pulling out and it was D'Angelo, and this was supposed to be the poster, and it somehow went up by accident today.

that would be the fucking worst

[SwedgeAntilles]

That's weird.

Given so many of us hadn't heard of him before today are we absolutely 100% sure he actually exists?

It would also explain why it wasn't announced officially. Weird mistake.

You did all see the one with Radiohead on it that appeared at 19:49 didn't you? It's gone now off course...

Perhaps we were all just sucked into some alternate reality briefly.

[Wooderson]

That's a mess. He was *by some distance* the most interesting thing on there.

[Winslow Leach]

Maybe Neil Lonsdale found out about it. 

[adamg1602]

Maybe they realised he's shit

[jparx]

Just realised I have heard a D'Angelo song, although it's the one he did with Lauryn Hill. Good song. But who the fuck knows what's happening now

Glastonbury is no place for people who weren't members of nineties Britpop bands.

Hahaha this is hilarious. "D'Angelo" was obviously just a placeholder for when Radiohead get added.

Yeah, they thought "which random artist could we put before Beck" and this happened. They sadly don't have the same amount of letters.

a couple of days before the poster came out some guy on the Glasto Chat Facebook group said he ran in to some of the organisers and they told him that one of the West Holts headliners had pulled out that day, and that Adele wasn't headlining because she demanded too much money, so obviously not a reliable source at all

[Chawk]

The new poster is still hosted on the site and viewable: ( it's called 2016poster.png) but it's now been replaced on the actual page by the old one (16lup1200pxwideab.png), so someone fucked up.

Maybe Adele threatened to pull out when she heard her sub wasnt big enough

[CaledonianGonzo]

"Get me someone who can upstage me!"

Cheers. Clearly they took D'Angelo's money and gave it to Adele.

His biggest (I think) album was 16 years ago

I've only heard of him from people praising his last album in 2014 on this forum.

I'd have guessed WH headliner but his position on the poster does seem odd, along with Beck's.

Hope they are the Pyramid subs, though, allowing Disclosure to be Friday Other and LCD Sunday

 

If that happens and LCD and EWF clash then I'll go on a murderous rampage, dragging anyone I come across with the name Michael, Emily or Eavis to the pits of hell with me.
