Looking at The Thingy and to me it looks like we only got the full lineup/stage splits early/before the resale in the years when we didn't get a initial poster. Could be coming tomorrow, but the previous years patterns definitely don't suggest it to me 

Patterns? PATTERNS??!!??!

@FloorFiller understandable i was studying it the minute this thread was bumped this morning. 

 

i have to say one of the best and most frustrating things about glastonbury is everything always so damn cryptic!

Neil guessed that it could be tomorrow but it's just that - a guess. I can't see it being tomorrow at all

How dare you bet against the holy Neil.

I bloody hope he's right - need some closure on all these looming clashes and stage positions. Moreso than ever the acts for each stage are incredibly hard to nail down. So many possibilities

Depends how many ticket balances didn't get paid up. That will have been a huge factor determining when the next lot of info gets dropped.

I really can't imagine they will be worried about that. Resale tickets will be snapped in seconds, regardless of the lineup and regardless of how many balances haven't been paid. IF, for example, Tame Impala are in the next announcement, they won't make an iota of difference in how the tickets sell when your headliners are Muse, Adele and Coldplay. The demand will be through the roof regardless of any announcements.

a second poster with stage splits would be welcome but it still feels too early for me.

I guess it will come after the resales have been concluded.

if they did want to whip up a bit of a frenzy before the resales then a 2nd poster would be the ideal way to do that, though.

I doubt they release any more line up until after Sunday. They always talk about making the sales as fair as possible, and increasing interest (even if only by a little) by releasing more line up certainly doesn't seem fair to those who've been since October for this.

[Memory Man]

re opening registrations after the first line up announcement is what I would call unfair, but thats just me.

I have my tickets so it makes no odds personally but if I was without I would feel annoyed by this part. You should need to have registered before any line up drops imo.

I was thinking the other day how unbelievably pissed people would be if they didn't pay their balance because they were unhappy with the lineup, then Radiohead get announced in the next poster. I mean, it would be their fault for throwing a fit about the lineup, but man they would be angry!

[Mouseboy11]

There seems to be self confirmations coming left, right and centre now. I imagine they'll be some form of announcement soon.

Thing is if we get a similar poster to other years - it may have stages but apart from headliners and subs (and sometimes not even then) they're not really in any order.

At least it would answer the Adele sub question! There isn't quite enough evidence for me that Disclosure are playing that slot.

Tbh I just want closure on the potential Muse/LCD/Sigur Rós clash so that's fine by me.

Not sure it would. Especially for the radiohead obsessed. (Unless they're announced). It could look like Disclosure - but then when times are nnounced a "special guest" slot appears. 

Nah if Disclosure are on Pyramid they're definitely subbing. If they're on Other it's time to get excited again.

I know you've said you'll see LCD instead of Muse but what happens if they play another day and Muse and Sigur Ros clash?

I've not moved onto considering that one yet. I'd be less inclined to miss Muse for them than I would be for LCD on account of having already seen Sigur Rós, but I'm not sure atm.

I feel the same way...

At what point last year did we have the vast majority of the lineup?

West Holts headliners where the best for me last year, so really holding out for something good here. Reckon we might have that this month?

I imagine so. If Emily wasn't yanking our chains and we are indeed getting more info this month, I should the West Holts headliners will be revealed by the end of the month. You'll probably be able to work them out soon enough anyway.
