Oh sorry - crossed wires there.

Shangri La are very quiet on Twitter. Anyone seen anything on FB from them?

Not much from them tbh - although they have uploaded a Storage Hunters UK vid today. Not sure what the link is there unless I'm missing something!

In the first half of May we got 4 announcements, the first was on the 2nd day of the first half and given that they will do all they can to create a hidden pattern that must mean that the first announcement in the 2nd half of May will be on the 2nd day of the 2nd half.

The 2nd half of May started at noon today and so that means the 2nd day starts at noon on Wednesday. So we are therefore due an announcement on Wednesday afternoon followed by one 2 days later, so Friday afternoon. 

There was then a gap of three days until the 3rd one, so a week today followed by the last one 3 days after that so Thursday next week.

Oh, and yes, I do need alcohol, quite urgently.

Surely the second day of the second half starts at noon tomorrow? Or is today the 0th day of the second half?

I like your style. Surely if we all have enough crazy crackpot highly thought-out and considered theories, one of us is bound to be right eventually.

Well that's it then, all patterns and ideas of patterns out the window.

 

Was this announced today? if so, my Joy of Six theory came through...kind of.

Wednesday for the big poster. I've got the day off so why not? Given the announcements so far me having a day off seems as good a reason as any to randomly drop it

Nuts. Better get my abacus back out then.

[ghostdancer1]

not an official announcement, so makes little difference.

[jparx]

I wonder if it's at all possible that Shangri-La and Glade will be revealed on the big poster, and that we might get said poster this week...

Just finding the length of time from the last announcement a bit odd. 

And yes, I know, #therearenopatterns and #httt

[Acid_Haze]

Hopefully it's been taking so long because they're saving up for the full poster.

However chances are they'll announce shangri-la and arcadia together sometime this week, and they'll announce Glade some other time this week and we'll have the full lineup next week.

[jparx]

Something big is coming this week. I can feel it. 

Perhaps something to do with the fact RH's first show is this Friday

@bennyhana22 how many bands/acts was it you actually saw last year? I recall we were waiting days on here for you to resurface post festival and when you did there was the story of your mad dash around site seeing as many as possible.

Love that personally don't have the stamina for it myself!

38 apparently (plus multiple random bits and bobs).

 

[SERRIDGER]

I think they should announce the line up as we are all leaving on the Monday and hand us the  stage split and times  booklet on the way out, that way , rather than have a tedious journey home we can spend it scrutinising the line up and cursing all the acts we missed.

Nah Emily said "a couple of weeks" on Instagram last week.

[cowmadiddy]

Do you reckon if I stay awake till 4am there might be an announcement?

I don't have work tomorrow...

Optimism at its best.

[morph100]

What do we think then? glade today?

[djdavejohnson]

It does seem to have gone awfully quiet (bar a couple of non-Glasto HQ announcements) - today is as good a day as any! Plus it's sunny.

Glade were requesting quotes from people yesterday to add to poster so I'd expect that second half of week. I'm thinking Shang La today., 

[big__phil]

Seeing as we've been expecting Glade and/or Shangri La for a while and have been given Toad Hall and the Spoken Words stage, I expect we'll get the welfare tent or sound desk engineers line up today.

Just like she said three British bands were headlining?  I wouldn't take Emily's vague comments as a hard or fast rule. Sure, we probably won't get it this week, but I wouldn't rule it out because Emily said a 'couple' of weeks on Instagram.

Which sound desk engineers are you hoping for?
