Shorthorn Rib Eye Steak on the Bone,  Lyonnaise Potatoes,  Bone Marrow Gravy

This. It sounds amazing.

Having said that there's some awesome to be found in the fields (Goan Fish Curry anyone?) for a fraction of the price.

Indeed ....

Has anybody ever tried this? Looks tasty! 

Did the sunday roast last year and was lovely. Already booked mine this year with an 'early invite' at the end of March as they sell out quite quickly :-)

Usually except like today when I'm on night shift and having to make do with sandwiches. Food envy

Yeah seems that they have some good feedback, I have sent a message out to a few friends to try to tempt them into trying it on the Wednesday. Sunday would be out of the question, too much craziness by then. My belly wouldn't take a Sunday roast

Sunday roast is exactly what I need! Usually flagging a bit by then so a nice roast really sets you up for the final day's madness.

If it's the one I had last year, near West Holts to the right as you look at the stage... I think

no but my guess is that the promoters have a sort of gentleman's agreement as to not all announce on the same day - you don't often (if ever?) see it happening with UK fests

it's happened plenty of times, although usually involving smaller festivals, but that's because there's far more of them than big ones.

the chances of any big festivals announcing on the same day are slim, because of how many different days and how few "big" festivals there are.

promoters may be aware of when others are announcing, but they're very unlikely to actually have any arrangements with one another except in exceptional circumstances, eg. shared headliners having contractual agreements precluding both from being announced on the same day.

Only one man can answer that... Neil?

[gluther]

Surely Glastonbury announcing something like the Theatre & Circus line up wouldn't be considered significant enough to take R&L's limelight?

Or maybe it would looking at Reading's lineup this year.

I'm hopeful it'll be tonight.

I've absolutely no idea either way.

We do have a theory here in efestivals basements that we use to rule out the chances of an announcement, and when we apply that theory we can't rule out an announcement today ... so I'm sort-of expecting it.

If it's not today, do you think we are talking weeks before we get it?

[jparx]

Oooooooooooooooooooooooh.

 

 

 

Interesting.

[snailcheeks]

Interesting. Sounds like a code tonight could be the night

I'm thinking they'll probably be an announcement this week. So if not today, tomorrow.

But I also thought they'd be one last week, so what do I know?

Emily said April, so at worst we're probably looking at the end of next week.

No posts for 30 minutes isn't exactly encouraging!

I've been in the park all afternoon (we're currently experiencing what can only be described as a relative heatwave in Glasgow over the last 48 hours), had not expected to log back in here and see this kinda talk. I've always been a Thursday 21st April kinda guy!
