Much more to be announced

[H4N5peter5en]

Does anyone know if there's many more acts are to be announced and when the lineup is normally finalised?

Do you think most of the big slots are now filled or is it likely there will be more announcements for West holts, other, jp, park etc.?

For me this seems to be the worst lineup for years and is lacking behind alot of the other European festivals so I'm hoping there's plenty more to come

Also, depending how allured you by the stuff on the dozens of smaller stages pretty much all of that (other than the Kidz, Leftfield and Common) is still to come.

Hi Chestwig.

Good and bad day for TheThingy today. Got retweeted by BBC Glasto so picked up a lot of new followers, then realised Pyramid was spelt wrong in the tweet.

I've had words and TheThingy promises to do better in future.

My thingy has a mind of its own too, sadly.

Already so excited... Then you post this.. 

[dentalplan]

I feel as if The Libertines and The Strypes shouldn't count on that list, considering they replaced acts that were on the poster.

[verrymerry]

Nah that's it, Glastonbury isn't that big you know 

 

 

 

 

 

.... Sorry

It would never happen, but how great I think it would be if the lineup was never announced and still maintained the size. You'd show up to the fest, pitch your tent and everyday and every act would be a total surprise. 

 

Just sit back and ponder how that would go. I think it would be spectacular.

We get lots of people saying this every year but in reality it'd be rubbish.

You'd miss loads of acts you'd have enjoyed because you had no chance to check out acts on the lineup beforehand, and you'd lose a fair amount of those first couple of days working out a plan of who to see.

Actually judging by your post do you mean we wouldn't even find out while we were there until each act walks out on stage? That'd be absolutely terrible. Imagine being at the Other Stage when Jake Bugg walks on and you find out later on that Radiohead were on the Pyramid Stage at the same time.

yeah but how would you decide which stage to go to?

-turn up to a stage 'oh fucking hell, Two Door Cinema Club!?' -run to next stage- 'oh for fuck sake i missed all of the Radiohead secret set' - run to the next stage 'oh CHRIST, TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB AGAIN!?'-

Nah. Imagine getting home and finding you've missed a load of bands you like cos you were watching something that was alright on another stage.

Besides, investigating bands on the bill you don't know before hand is all part of it.

Haha you do make fair points. At the same time when Foo Fighters did their secret act last year as just a random one off concert I kind of pictured it more like that. If you happened to be lucky enough to be hanging out and Radio Head jumps on stage it would blow your mind. Kind of like when Daft Punk showed up at Coachella in 2007.I did indeed mean you'd never find out. I was more picturing a lot more community involvement and such. Regardless it'll never happen.

The biggest downfall as I think about it more is people would be more glued to their mobiles than they already are trying to check social media and stuff rather than goign with the flow.

It depends on whether you prefer them to the bands they replaced though.

It won't happen, as you say, but you could do what I do.. A cursory look at the lineup, forget most of it, crack on regardless.

I heard from a source close to the festival that there are at least 7 acts yet to be announced so I wouldn't worry.

There are probably about another 900 acts to be announced, that's why you may have detected some subtle sarcasm
