dead board this year for lineup rumours?....

[waterfalls212434]

is it me or is it dead quiet on here this year? Im sure this time the last few years towards the end of the year we`ve all been obsessing over the announcements possibly dropping soon soon soon etc, yet this year  hardly a peep out of anyone, Nothing even rumouring to have anymore announcements anytime soon let alone anyone seeming to expect one. I confess I barely check these boards as of late because there`s just `nothing`  

soooo must be time for a shock announcement from the `eavis`s`

It's quiet because it's Christmas.

Emily said there won't be anything announced until into the New Year, so would you rather come here and read people making up false rumours of line ups dropping?

[mjsell]

Yeah from a marketing perspective why would anyone consider this time of year a good idea for an announcement? 

But on the topic of announcements I'm assuming the next two will be one artist each - Foos and Ross (in no particular order, as per rumours) 

I would assume Ed will be the one kept for closer to the main lineup

`posting` since april.

fixed it for you ;P longtime lurker.

Bear in mind that this far away from the Festival, it's usually the 3 headliners and the legends slot that are getting the majority of the speculation.. If the talk is quiet that's probably because everyone thinks those slots are nailed on already.

The discussion about lower slots, other headliners, pyramid subs, etc tends to kick in more in January / February.

Because everyone already knows the headliners?

I'd be inclined to agree with this. Headliners seem pretty nailed on early doors this year (whether we like it or not )

I mean fair play to Neil for providing as accurate as possible news as fast as he did, though I'm guessing establishing that it was going to be Ed and Foos so soon has poured cold water on a lot of the frenzied rumours and website hits there usually is at this time... a site with less integrity might be teasing random rumours to generate hits.

 

edit: ... and it's Christmas

As much as I agree, we had already whittled the options down to ed and foos - with a couple of other alternatives (Gaga) several days before Neil did all but confirm it. Admittedly we still would have been looking for a way out of ed/foos at this point had it not been confirmed but we were most definitely there or thereabouts

Don't expect much by way of announcements in January, according to TheThingy's all new Calendar section there's only been one act announced in the coming month.

Like most, I was a lurker for a few years on here, then started posting... To be honest I think most years have a thread similar to this. 

Or a comment in the headliners thread.

A year ago we were pretty confident of the 3 headliners. Same this year. I think from a "non pyramid headliner" point of view - there is a much wider choice than usual. Alsorts of names knocking about.

Sorry for that outburst.. I must have been on the drink lol
