Next Announcement thread

Wouldn't the Ashcroft announcement more likely be new tour dates? maybe Glasto will be part of it but I can't see him just announcing it on its own.

I imagine the lineup will drop at 8am or whatever, and he'll be there to say 'yeah i'm on the bill, super stoked'. Or whatever.

I just don't see how Ashcroft announcing tour dates would warrant an appearance on Breakfast, but they do often have some real bumpf on there so who knows.

Yup, her in a couple of weeks thing was posted on May 10th.

Believe!

There have been five May 22nd announcements since 2000. Popular day for it.

Okay so just getting my head around this?
Are we expecting the lineup this coming week and Richard Ashcroft to be playing before Adele?

Pretty grim

I said Richard Ashcroft before Adele as a joke, but it'd be about as shite as Paul Weller last year so will probably happen.

I'm sure I read somewhere that A Northern Soul is Adele's favourite album of all time, so you never know.

Haha, no no no. The announcement is likely to be this week, EE mentioned having Glastonbury news on Tuesday and this Richard Ashcroft thing is just circumstantial. If he is announcing that he's playing this year I think it'll be as a JP headliner or something similar. 

EDIT - That's EE the company, not Emily Eavis. Although Emily did say the line up would be released in a 'couple of weeks' which would come into effect tomorrow. 

They have a Glastonbury ticket competition on tuesday, so that's probably it

This was the tweet:  "Keep your eyes peeled next week for Glastonbury goodness. What might you unearth...?"

Sounds like it could be the app. Which would mean lineup and times.

They could well launch a ticket competition at the same time.

EE have already tweeted this morning that a Glastonbury competition ('Glastonburied') is launching tomorrow. The app doesn't tend to launch until much closer to the festival.

Oh well. Still expecting the full lineup this week at some point.

Strange that the other day they stated a Tuesday announcement and then this morning have said 12pm tomorrow? Could be referring to two different things?

I don't think EE were the ones to mention Tuesday were they? Didn't they just say 'next week'?

Woops my bad, getting wires crossed. Keeping up with everything that's mentioned across these threads is a challenge!

Roll on Tuesday :-)

I will be more confident of Tuesday if Arcadia announced today.

Having said that, I've just spotted this tweet. They could be bluffing, or they might be announcing a bit later.

It's not unheard of for Arcadia to announce well after the full poster has been revealed.

I'm going for full poster Tuesday with EE app and ticket competition following on Wednesday.

Stage times in a couple more weeks.

Stage times not being for another few weeks would be annoying but I guess they didn't come until the start of June last year.

Although the main thing I want now is the stage splits to see where LCD are and whether there appears to a be a space below Adele, so I'm not too bothered about set times coming alongside it.

Edit: Because the main poster itself will probably answer these without the need for set times.

Thinking it could be like the 2013 lineup poster on tuesday which didn't include Arcadia.

[FatAmmy]

Two weeks would put the arcadia announcement firmly outside the "second half of may" zone that they alluded to previously

This is probably more like likely to be fair and like @jparx said if there has been an announcement already  he may add in he is playing Glasto. Is BBC breakfast a popular place to announce music events? I have never watched it, I assume its like GMTV type thing?  

[Alan_C]

30th/31st May fall on a Monday and Tuesday so it would still fit with 2nd half of May.
