I feel it will only be an announcement of Ed Sheeran, so definitiely not worth waiting for.

pretty much! so whenever it is... meh.

I'd expect a fair amount of backlash on social media when they do announce him (as usual) although they get that no matter who is headlining!

they could have got prince and fleetwood mac in the same year and people would have still complained

Even if it is just Ed Sheeran that's announced next, hopefully they'll also confirm the day and we can see if there may be some truth in the Green Day chat.

You can please some of the people some of the time... I do like a good whinge though I must say! It's the people who have never been and think just because a duff headliner is announced it's going to ruin the festival and everyone is going to have a shit time who get to me though. The amount of people who asked me how pissed off I was about having to see Adele last year... No I was in the adjacent field having an absolute blast at New Order!

It will be good to see some momentum!

I'm just looking forward to tomorrow so I can say "next month is the first poster announcement"*

 

* I don't know this for sure

** based on last years being 29th March

*** I know there's no pattern really (all hail the thingy)

**** blind hope

I think a new map will be out soon, because we all love a good map especially when its an animated gif with last years one flipping back and forth.

Well Gaga's tour dates are slated to be released after her Superbowl performance on Sunday to capitalise on the publicity so I'll guess we'll see if there's a Glastonbury shaped hole in there...

one of the two already known pyramid headliners or the sunday legend.

They're not known.

[EamerRed]

After the initial excitement this week from Green Day things seem to have got quieter.

Can someone make up a rumour please?

[JoeyT]

God damn this thread. Every time I see it at the top of the page I think there's gossip.

I again leave disappointed...

I have the exact same thing but with the Daft Punk thread.

What I like to with the initial poster is to scan it and realise there's an awful lot of crap out there.

When the full line up with stages is released I like to look for the few names I want to see, realise that most of them clash, close the webpage and hope the real, much better organised line up is released the next day.

I like to turn up at Worthy without having seen any lineup announcements at all.  Then I like to walk up to the hill behind the Park, and read the full timetable lineup while enjoying my first full view of Glastonbury that year.   Then I decide to only see bands that no-one around me has ever heard of. While drinking a craft gin & tonic.

You see bands?

I go to whittle kitchen utensils out of trees found only in Outer Mongolia.

Huh.  I appear to be up against a pro here.

Although hipster one-upmanship aside I am intent on going to at least one craft lesson this year

[Lou1983]

I reckon we're going to get something soon, elo were announced on this day last year and the changes to the website (sale page going live, kindof) make me hopeful! Probably just the confirmation of Ed though.... meh

You do activities? I just go to pick up litter and tut that its not how it used to be.

[bellboy]

Pick up litter, whittle kitchen utensils – luxury!!

I walk 3 miles from the car park carrying as much stuff as I can physically lift to camp in a muddy field with 120,000 other people, then do the 3 mile return trip back to the van the following day to pick up as much warm beer (that tastes like p*iss) that I can carry, wade through mud and other peoples waste for 5 days, contract some stomach bug that really kicks in on Sunday and then pack up soggy camping stuff and walk back the 3 miles to the car park and spend the rest of the week ill and depressed and worried about getting tickets for the next year.

Tell that to the kids of today and they wouldn’t believe it.

funny you should say that as I have been informed by a family member who works in the festival industry that there will be a glastonbury announcement this week. I think she said Wednesday or Thursday so 01/02 or 02/02.

 

Tick tock....

Someone emailed me last night, to say that they knew Robbie Williams was playing.

However, there was something about it which I just didn't believe. Maybe they'll get back to me and say something that makes it more convincing.

So there's your perhaps-made-up rumour.

Just out of interest, how often do people send you rumours like this?

Not necessarily what I was hoping for but a rumour is a rumour 

[JoeyT]

As it's the NME awards on the 15th it's feasible we'll know a couple more acts at this point in 2 weeks time.

Think this goes in the pile of I hope it's not true so let's ignore it

i did qualify it by saying don't shoot the messenger
