Next Announcement thread

[SwedgeAntilles]

I really need the full lineup. 

[Woffy]

Carl Cox and Alabama 3! No way!!!

[big__phil]

Banging line up.

It's weird their Funktion One thing is at the bottom of the main poster. Does that mean it's separate and there's only a few acts using that?

[Sidasta]

Fred V & Grafix may be my Glade highlight this year.

[shuttlep]

the stanton warriors, I will get to see the twice in one festival

 

Dave Seaman, a guy called Gerald, looks like I will not see anyone at any of the main stages this year. the south East Corner and the Glade for me all the way.

 

I will make an exception for New Order

The impression I got was that the two front speaker sets can be used as normal, but the surround speaker sets "can" be used - so either you're right and only a few acts are using the full setup, or they'll pipe through some of the left+right into the surrounds for the acts that aren't set up for surround.  Like what happens when I press the AFD button on my surround AV receiver - turns stereo into "faux surround".

Who do we think is gonna be playing the Thursday night?

The way I understood it is that it's the main system, but only certain acts will be able to use the surround element and the rest will just use the standard L & R stacks.

I agree, we cant be all celebrating the Shakespeare and then get annoyed that the youth are making up new words and reappropriating old ones. My 12 year old did say pacific last night though and I did have to correct him but the rest I just let go (fam). 

 

 

For me The Pickwick papers is ruined by characters like Sam Weller debasing the mother tongue.

Nope. West Holts hasn't been separate for a few years. Only Arcadia to go and they sometimes announce after the full lineup.

[Acid_Haze]

Arcadia on Monday, full lineup on Thursday! Here we go!

ah okay so 1 more stage and then full announcement excellent

[SwedgeAntilles]

Arcadia was my favourite of the small stage announcements last year so I'm hoping next week will be a big week for me, whether it come before the big poster or after. I'm going for Tuesday - Arcadia, Thursday - full line up.

[jparx]

Full lineup next week for sure. I don't think we'll get Arcadia before hand, that could well come later. So big poster Tuesday or Thursday. 

[priest17]

 

So the set times exist and some people know them, for some areas at least. Will they bother with a big poster or go straight in with the times next week? I've just got the set tIves for dot 2 dot so I have them to keep me busy for a little while, I struggle to get excited by the initial poster though because of some of the horror clashes I've seen over the last 7 years...

[djcolsen]

Straight in with times etc but release a big poster at the same time i'd have thought

Alabama 3!!! To see 'Woke up this morning' played live would be a moment. My very own Sopranos Glastonbury moment.

I don't mind reappropriation of words. That's genuine evolution of the language. It's both cool and wicked. Makes me feel left behind, but tough titties.

And 'pacific', whilst an error is one I have sympathy for, since 'specific' isn't an easy word to say. I used to say 'pacific' as a child, not because I didn't know any better, but because I simply couldn't say it correctly. I noticed every time and for a while, did Porky Pig like verbal contortions to use a different word.

I hope this leniency won't loose me any friends

when people say pacific , i feel like punching them in the neck

 

I have a young child, he is 8 and when he says words wrong i correct him. then he says them correctly. Unfortunately I have now started doing this to adults. 

 

I may be gaining enemies.

Who so shall telle a tale after a man,
He moste reherse, as neighe as ever he can,
Everich word, if it be in his charge,
All speke he never so rudely and so large;
Or elles he moste tellen his tale untrewe,
Or feinen thinges, or finden wordes newe.
