Yep. It's never a surprise; someone does always warn us.

How long ago was Emily Eavis' 'couple of weeks' thing? Was it last week? I can't find it.

It's in the comments of that post.

Need one today.

 

 

 Please.

So does yesterday actually count as an announcement or not? We only actually got 4 names, but they still gave us something. I see it's not on The Thingy™ yet.

They also said they have 'plenty more announcements over the coming weeks...', so it sounds like they're really going to drag this out.

My bet is Glade is will properly announce their's first, this week, then a competition between Arcadia and Shargri La to see who can leave it the latest.

I have more of a hunch about it being tomorrow than today actually.

[brain yolk!]

Today will be the day.

So the last time we had to wait for more than a few days for an announcement was when we got the Silver Hayes line up, which was on a Wednesday. The previous announcement to that was the Kidz Field, which was a Tuesday. Our last announcement was Block 9, last Tuesday. Therefore we can clearly expect the next announcement today, because it's Wednesday. Capisce?

There is a 0% chance of this not happening today. Hawking, Shmawking.

Well, I thought it was pretty exciting.  Here's the transcript:

FUNKTION ONE EXPERIEMNTAL SOUND FIELD AT GLADE

This year Funktion One are installing a sound field at the Glade that is taking the sound to another level. These pioneers of sound were part of the crew that put on the first Glastonbury Fair. Founder Tony Andrews helped build the first pyramid in 1971 and remembers carrying speakers up the Tor for an after party! In 1979 he persuaded Michael to do the festival again and build a permanent Pyramid stage in which he led the construction team.

They and their loudspeakers were at the forefront of musical evolution and the emerging dance music scene becoming the preferred sound technicians for bands like Underworld and Chemical Brothers. In 1992 Funktion One famously ran the Experimental Soundfield in the field Shangri La is in now. Since then Funktion One has become the most popular dance music system in the world. Now in 2016 they are releasing a new system called VERO that has taken arena sound to a new level and is being used in live shows by the likes of Nile Rogers and Alison Moyet

The Ambisonic Soundfield at Glade will be 6 positions of Funktion One loudspeakers arranged in a perfect hexagon 38 metres in diameter. Two of the positions are either side of the stage like a standard left and right setup. These two positions have enough power to be used alone without the other four which make up the rest of the hexagon, The remaining four positions, each consisting of 2 x BR121, 2 x F215 and 2 x Evo6EH are used to add dimension to the main left and right stacks and/or moving events Funktion One have the ability to make sounds ‘move’ around inside the Soundfield and actually position a sound in the field be prepared to be totally blown away!!!

A hexagon doesn't have a diameter. 

 

 

Oh god, I'm a maths nazi  

[big__phil]

It sounds to me like this will be a new thing, rather than an upgrade. Or have I read that wrong..?

Glade was one of the stages that impressed me most with their sound system last year, I can't wait to hear how good it will sound with the upgrade

now if they would just release some their line up so I can begin preparing my ear for the joy that would be great
