Everytime I see the words Shappi Korshandi my heart drops a little.  Small comedy gig in central London, and she turned up to try out new material unannounced.  The new material was sadly shit, so nobody laughed, which resulted in her shouting abuse at us all and telling us that she was on the telly, and we were fucking idiots for not laughing,  Horrific.

That's a real shame saw her at Latitude last year and she was really warm with the crowd,maybe a festival crowd are more forgiving and  I'm probably a bit bias as she grew up round the corner from me,never met her though

[Acid_Haze]

My guess is Block9 and ShangriLa next week, Arcadia and Glade week after and then the full lineup on Tuesday 22nd May

A nice Thursday/Friday early weekend treat on 19th/20th would do me.

I saw her at a small gig in London and thought she was pretty good. Was pleased to see her on the line up. 

I went to college with Josie Long - she was a quality girl.

Very good point.  

I think last time they were on around midday on the Sunday though?

Yep - was midday Sunday.

I turned up at about 10 to (after the obligatory kedgeree breakfast from next door) and wandered pretty much straight in, using the doors around the far side. There was a polite queue of Radio 4 types at the first set of doors (flaps!) by the blackboard.

I think I understood the first five minutes and the universe started off life the size of a football. Also, there was a bang. After that, no idea ....

Brian's got good hair though ...

The missus likes josh widdicombe, so if no clashes are happening I will pop by to watch.

Josie Long is wonderful person; one of the best (if not the best) stand up comedians in the game, proper intelligent socialist, loves Joanna Newsom.

So from Neil's info, we know Block 9 is due out early this week. Wonder if they'll be next or if someone else will be squeezed in?

Forgot about this. I'll go with them tomorrow.

[Hugh Jass]

I have a feeling we'll see the big poster this week.

[ghostdancer1]

so:

Block9 (this week)

Glade ("2nd half of May")

Arcadia ("second half of May")

Shangri-La - ????

Block 9 at the beginning of this week and Shangri La at the end of this week would make sense. The other two next week and the full poster and some more info in the last week of May.

[ghostdancer1]

yeah, the second half of May is technically from next Monday on, although they may have just been saying that for the last while as they don't know when GFL will give the go-ahead.

so basically it could be any time

[big__phil]

Seeing as they love to confuse us, is there any chance the Unfairground, Beat Hotel or Glasto Latino might release a poster? I don't think they have in the past, but #thereisnopattern.

[Acid_Haze]

Block9 tomorrow, Shangri-La later on this week. Arcadia early next week, Glade late next week, lineup on Tuesday 22nd May

Except the 22nd is a Sunday 

The T&C announcement on Saturday throws the doors wide open to any day from now on!

Unfairground has a few times, so could do again I suppose, especially as there's a few stages.

Glasto Latino doesn't really have anything worth announcing separately, based on last year's:

Ooh nice. Something could be brewing.

I've been getting Page Monitor alerts on and off for the last half hour. My heart skips a beat every time.
