H4N5peter5en Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnomatic Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

dentalplan Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I feel as if The Libertines and The Strypes shouldn't count on that list, considering they replaced acts that were on the poster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoBallGames Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priest17 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
