Next Announcement thread

[big__phil]

Last year they didn't do two days in a row until towards the end. Doubt you'll get anything today I'm afraid. My guess is Friday, for the Theatre & Circus.

We need a @theouterlimits type hero to step up to the plate with some information.

I know it does seem way early for a proper announcement, but am I wrong in thinking Emily said in an interview that the lineup was all done and dusted? If it is, I see no reason why they'd want to hold it back any longer.

There could be a few reasons. Acts want their own shows and tours to be sold out first, before being announced at festivals where they don't get paid as much. I'm sure there are people who aren't on that original poster who the festival would love to tell us about, but can't because of deals done with promoters/booking agents etc.

It's the hope I can't stand 

Would we have efestivals any other way 

[mikegday]

it's a sign! Or a faulty website. Much prefer the first option though.

That's very true, not sure I thought very hard about the reasons why they would hold back the lineup.  

That being said, I remember one of the Eavii saying we'd get the full lineup in April so I'm assuming they're way ahead of schedule compared to last year and we'll be getting it earlier than usual.

It does say scheduled maintenance, so that's hopeful, but probably something very boring that doesn't affect us.  They don't need to take the site down to update the line-up or post a new story.

I can see the same poster atm. :-|

[brettredmayne]

Obviously that's clearly a test for the new poster going up at 7

Not sure when this happened but the D'Angelo poster is now completely deleted off the server, at least it's not under the same file name.

Under the current poster wasn't it in text format too? The text has disappeared. They're definitely doing something, I refuse to believe anything else.

Was that not just in the news article for the first poster announcement rather than on the lineup page?
