FloorFiller Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 18 minutes ago, Time Being said: Didn't Emily hint that we would get the lineup sooner this year than we have in past years? Are we not placing much value in that one comment anymore? I can't remember where the quote was from. Yeah think that was said shortly after Radiohead were announced, and she's made comments since about the lineup coming out in March so we can't be far off.

Yeah at the NME's - "line up in march maybe a little something before" we got the food fighters announcement - so I am hopeful for it to be this month.

What were you referring to, if you don't mind me asking? I was referring to what Glasto Chat supposedly said. I made no mention of anything else.

Matt42 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 does seem rather quiet the weeks before the drop are always the toughest, time just seems to slowwwwwww down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Maybe it's because I haven't got a ticket and so am approaching the lineup reveal with the knowledge I might not even be there but it feels surreal that we could be getting it in the next few weeks. I probably say this every year but, headliners aside, it seems like we know a lot less about who's gonna be there than usual, especially topping the main stages etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) The Guardian twitter has mentioned that some Ed Sheeran news is about to drop. Edit: False alarm.

simian_mobile_mushrooms Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I'm going to make a bold statement and say Friday 31st, 2 pm - the poster will drop and we'll all be going Gaga from then until the festival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Landers Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 There's always next to no info re full lineup at this point. This is perfectly normal. A couple of years ago didn't it take until late May to get a full lineup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 As much as I'm excited for the announcement it's so fucking annoying having that first poster and not even knowing whether you can get excited over individual acts due to clashes. I remember the two big, great surprises on that first poster last year (for most of us) being Sigur Rós and Beck. I spent that whole day listening to Sigur Rós and Beck getting excited. Saw neither in the end. Granted, I knew Sigur would probably clash with Muse, but still. I think at that time I was planning to see em instead of Muse until I got Citadel tix (I'd inevitably have gotten drunk and gone to Muse for some Dead Inside on the night instead, I know).

JoeyT Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Back in 2015 If I remember correctly we found out the announcement date from Neil who had got the info at the emerging talent competition final. With that in mind when is that this year and are you going @eFestivals? Edit: Having checked it looks like the emerging talent final is 22nd April so I'm putting faith in us receiving the first poster prior to that date!

Yeah that's what I am thinking of ... I thought it was something along the lines of 'earlier than usual in the new year' Anyways I am sticking with some point after the emerging talent competition concert. 4 minutes ago, JoeyT said: Back in 2015 If I remember correctly we found out the announcement date from Neil who had got the info at the emerging talent competition final.

I doubt it'll be as late as April for the poster. I think you'll get Legend by the end of this week, Ed by the end of next week and the poster by the end of the follow. I don't believe it was that long between the final headline confirming last year and the first poster, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy101 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Are the Ed O2 dates news to us? Perhaps these need to be announced and sell out before a festival headline announcement? Not that he'd have trouble selling it out a few times over at this rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, unless he's doing an extra 10 (minimum) shows at the O2 before the Festival, Glastonbury won't have any negative impact on ticket sales.

Ronald Roundhouse Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 The only negative impact will be on Glastonbury Festival itself - who could possibly accuse the Eavis' of selling out when Ted The Atomic Busker is on Sunday night prime time TV. What absolute dross- I'll be down the John Pell Stage thanks very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
