On that theme I think they get offered their pitches by end of this month at the latest so we might get some soon.

do any of the usual suspects have a twitter account?

I've got more but can't access at the moment for some reason.

itd be nice to be tonight, hell itd be nice to have some form of announcement this month.....it really does feel like its being dragged out this year, sure we knew more then just 1 headliner by this time as of late as far as years go.......though I will consult the thingy unless wrong on that note. 

Nope. It was the same last year. Penguin was wailing and stamping his feet around this time last year too IIRC.

I miss pieminister 

Check out 'Tom's Pies', set up just around the corner from the Bread & Roses, bloody marvellous fodder; every bit as good as pieministers I reckon :)

Going by the thingy the October announcement of Radiohead was a particularly early one compared the last few years, so maybe they think they gave us a bit of a treat with that one and we can wait for a bit longer. Also February announcements seem pretty random but more weighted towards at least the middle or end of the month, so seeing as we are only the 10th I'm thinking a week or two at least yet before we get something (that we already know anyway)

The NME awards have been good to us over the last few years , we normally get something. Blur, U2, Foo fighters, Dolly have all gone that night.

There have been five headliner announcements made on Fridays in February including two double announcements.

What do you mean by double announcements? Two acts in one announcement, or two separate announcements about different things?

Double trouble.

Didn't Emily say there "will be something in the new year to keep everyone in the loop?"...which is suitably vague enough to  raise hopes for an announcement any day now or at any time in 2017.

I'm calling it - full poster is coming August 15th.

Yep. Would expect something sooner rather than later. Only thing that remotely interests me about this announcement is potentially finding out the days of the final two headliners. And even that is just so I can feel more confident when posting my stage predictions.

Two acts announced at once.

The Verve & KoL and Muse & Stevie Wonder 

So seven headliners have actually been announced on Fridays in February :o

    • So we've signed a Horny Czech, and Bruno's turned up the training camp instead of doing Isak's nonsense.   Still not sure I believe Bruno's staying mind, but glad he's not doing the sh*t Arsenal are asking him to do to lower the price. If they want him they can stump up.   My suspicion is that whichever of Madrid/Man City don't start next season with Rodri will go for Bruno, and one of them will come in while Arsenal have f**ked about trying to get him cheap, which while I absolutely want to keep him, would still be good enough bants and a nice middle finger that I wouldn't mind it so much. I just wish we'd report Arsenal for tapping up.   If rumours are to be believed, we're after 2 more defensive signings, and an attacking player, on top of a replacement if Bruno leaves, having already signed a LW, 2 CMs, a GK, and some youth players. Huge churn, but apart from a couple of Bazou Toure's games for Ivory Coast at the world cup, I've not seen any of them play. Over 2 summers we've basically changed our entire team aside from the CBs.
    • I think the level of headliners Bloodstock get is varied    There's been bands who have gone on to play Download in quite a low spot like Meshuggah, Behemoth, Opeth etc.    Then they've had years like 2025 where you can argue that all three headliners are download main stage sub level    Knocked Loose right now i'd argue are 3rd down on main/opus headliner level while EC and FFDP are borderline main stage sub
