At least 5 people wished me god morning from the gate at work to my desk. The sun is shining, people are in a good mood. Exactly the sort of day to be excited by a big announcement. 

I can work with this. A Glasto treat marking the end of a lovely day

Does any one know if the R&L announcement tomorrow would play any part in Glasto timing? Or does it not make the slightest bit of difference whether they announce the same day or not...?

Glastonbury regulars Thrill Collins to announce their festivals on Monday, fingers crossed this is when the the rest of Glastonbury's line up is announced! 

BTW if you've never seen Thrill Collins, they're ace! Go

I hope they're back. Last year we were on our way to, I think, Hot Chip and a crowd had formed by the side of the Bandstand. We decided to check it out and it was Thrill Collins. They'd just set their stuff down and started playing some covers, it was fantastic. Would be good to see them there this year at an actual stage.

It could decide that the best Glastonbury would be one without human beings in it.

So, Coachella?

Not feeling today.

Which hopefully means we'll get something today.

Now TheThingy Twitter account is reaching followers of almost Stephen Fry like proportions, it's stopped automatically following everyone back as it's getting hard to keep up. Erm... apparently.

The policy now is to follow people whose names it recognises from here, or anyone with a Glastonbury picture in their profile. Or so I'm told.

So if it doesn't follow you back, give me a shout and I'll let TheThingy know.

Morning Gnomicide - ProperPhilthy is where you'll find me on Twitter. I was following The Thingy heady days of sub-400 followers. Look at it/him/her/them now! #1000followersbytheendoftheday

 

Anyway I'll echo the 'today is a good day' comments, which surely means Ice Cube will be added today?

Is ice cube not in canada that weekend?

Today feels like a good day to announce something to me.

My hunch has been today for a while, mainly due to awkwardness of my shift today.. expect something as I cant really see it til 9pm

Classic eFestivals, every day will be the day

It's the unrelenting positivity which binds us all together!

Definitely today*

Know of a few acts that have been told they can release Glasto news today.

Not sure if that means a "big announcement" or they'll just end up self confirming at some point.

hmm that's interesting - you'd think that they'd only actually tell acts they can announce if they knew it was going to be officially announced anyway

So...which acts? If they are going to release anyway you might as well tell us...

 

In other news, it's payday. A fine day for an announcement if you ask me.

Have an upvote for both payday and announcement positivity. 

I've been counting down the days to it but  hadn't realised so far today. Anyway once i drain my bank account again to pay bills i can order a new tent. 

Before 8pm is good for me

[JBarbour]

The acts can be described as up and coming / emerging 

Don't lose your shit over this. I don't know if it's going to be today. But a few acts believe they can share some details today. 

 I did a bunch of interviews / pieces for another festival and two acts mentioned Glastonbury. They know their stages and rough times so it can't be far off anyway. 

 

[Hugh Jass]

It still feels a week too early in my opinion.

Hopefully I'm wrong but I'm still expecting this time next week.

I don't think it will be today. Either tomorrow or next Tuesday I'm going for.

I would say its looking less likely we will get individual stage announcements though unless it's over a lot shorter period than last year.
