Would Ed and Foos be that much better?

That was technically still a pre-OBTN Kings of leon.

No, although some people will be thrilled no doubt.

And yes, KoL weren't the dreadful band they went on to become back then (other views are available).

I could be wrong about this but don't they usually wait until after the emerging talent competition is finished? Far be it for them to take away the spotlight from the emerging bands by announcing a headliner around this time.

is that on the thingy?

I'd be surprised if we don't get anything this month. Emily did say the 'new year' and you could argue that's already passed. Given the major line up announcement will pretty much immediately precede balance payment week, they'll want to space out their other announcements so I can't see one happening any later than early March. 

I'd say we're in prime territory for at least one big name.

If there's going to be an individual announcement of a headliner (as opposed to it coming out as part of a full line up release) then February is your month.

Three of the ones in May/June where replacements for announced artists dropping out, the other is The Who (for an unannounced artist dropping out).

Do we ever actually get anything from the BRITs? I might be wildly wrong but it feels like it gets brought up every year as a time someone will announce and I swear nobody ever actually does, unlike the NME Awards...

Shits and giggles?

this year is a tricky one because I believe that both Ed and foos will get their own announcements - mainly because Ed is a guarenteed talking point for the news, and the foos are doing that cool thing where they mark a country on the map etc.

I just don't feel like we are that close to an announcement though, I feel like we could get one big name in Feb but March feels like a more suitable time

(this is completely by my hunch btw) just seems to have gone a bit quiet on the glasto front

    • I'm surprised they risked it, especially after nearly missing their Glasto 22 slot under similar circumstances  I did see someome say Ellie didnt sound as strong as recently but I'm guessing playing 3 shows in 2 different continents doesnt help that    On the topic though I can definitely see them doing a Fontaines and having a break over winter before a few final Clearing shows next summer 
    • That's fair on WA - I did recall people thinking Fontaines would take this year off before this was announced.    On the subject of Wolf Alice, they did Lollapalooza in Chicago on Saturday then Kendal Calling last night. Bit of an odd choice, no? Half imagine at Kendal that they would've been just exhausted.
    • Just logged onto the app to start planning my days and there really are a LOT of stages missing. Apart from the Seaside Stage there is no Casemates this year etc. Apart from the Seaside Stage, there are no Casemates this year, etc. Can't see anything about the kids field really. And there's local acts that are normally there like Kojak's Revenge that aren't appearing either.  Normally we get down fairly early but I can't see anything before 3pm I'm keen to see. Only one real clash as well, which is good, but it's thin and it's not thin in the sense of "I've seen a lot of these acts before"
    • Lifelong Carlisle United supporter here.🤦‍♂️ Good luck for the coming Season and see you in October!
