Gnomicide Posted February 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I'm wondering if, given Emily's comment about an announcement in the new year plus the lack of anything on note since Radiohead, plus her saying a lot of acts are booked, we might get an early poster.

Gnomicide Posted February 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I've done some more wondering and that's not going to happen. Still think we'll defini5get a headliner this month though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surf's Up Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 My prediction - Tuesday 14th February for the next announcement. It's Valentines day and Glastonbury will share the love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkey1989 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 my hunch (which means nothing apart from i got arctic monkeys right years ago) is that they are going to hit us with the poster next and not a single headliner or legend. Boom poster THE FORUMS go wild ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkic Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) I was thinking similar yesterday, how good would that be?! I'm going for March 1st, initial poster. Edited February 12, 2017 by nikkic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 21 hours ago, Matt42 said: 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 My guess is that Ed will announce himself at the Brits, and the foos won't be announced until the main announcement in April.

Boom poster THE FORUMS go wild ! Not sure about that. I would expect them to split it up slightly for more publicity, otherwise it's a lot to announce at the same time. I'm expecting either a Brits related Ed announcement or Di-Ro sometime at the end of the month next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely, I reckon. Bands are usually booked on the basis that they won't be announced before April. It wouldn't be impossible for Glasto to go back and ask if some bands if they can be announced earlier, but it would create a lots of extra work with double-checking, as well as an amount of awkwardness for bands that had put together an announcement schedule for other stuff based on Glasto announcing in April - as it all tends to be linked together in the background for marketing purposes.

Ipayne Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Like last year, I think we'll probably get the first lineup poster the week before the payment window. Maybe get Ed announced in amongst all that and Foo's separately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomicide Posted February 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 The earliest a poster has been revealed was 27th March 2013, the only other time a poster has been released before April was 29th March last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all very worrying as it seems to indicate there is a sort of pattern to it all with headliners coming one by one with the legend also announced separately and then the first poster end of March/Early April. I am not sure I like there being any kind of pattern however loose it may be! #AHTT #thereisnopattern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMac Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Apologies if this has already been asked and I missed it, but is this a specific next announcement thread or a generic one? i.e. after we get the next announcement, do we need a new thread or can we carry on in this one?
