I really hope we get a stages poster before the complete breakdown. I think it's unlikely given their recent trend towards all the smaller stages having their own moment in the spotlight, but at least the main five would be good. If they've really go some big names to drop, would they leave it until the end of May with the stage times?

Realistically, I'm expecting a poster a week starting from the end of this month.

I'm pretty certain it'll follow a very similar pattern (acknowledging that ⌗thereisnopattern AHTT, natch) to 2016.

When they start dropping, we'll get an area every 2-4 days, maybe with the occasional week-long gap. We'll be awash with drops and clashes and all that jazz and happy as pigs in muck.

Then the MOAL (Mother Of All Line-ups) will be dropped and the crying and gnashing of teeth and general despair at the ClashterFuck^® can begin in earnest.

After 47 minutes back at work after the long weekend I could really fucking do with an announcement today.

Seconded

Is the next announcement going to be our beloved PM calling an election so we have another major vote coincide with Glasto? Bloody hope not but all might be clearer in 35 mins.....

Wow, it worked 

[Gucci Piggy]

When did the drip feed of smaller areas begin last year?

I suspect that the other announcement today means we will yet again have a disappointing Friday morning at the festival...

looks like it's 8 June so two/three weeks to digest

Not unless they've moved the festival forward by a fortnight

Joe Hart? I've only just got over there being a DJ called Dave Seaman.

Joe Hart is head and shoulders above Dave Seaman.

That's so horrific it deserved an upvote.

[Franky]

That was a nice surprise ! Now give us more lol

[Gnomicide]

Always pleased to get an announcement but there's probably nowhere on site that holds less interest for me. It is ALL dance stuff in there isn't it? The area looks great and I'd like a nosy around but (and I know I'm an old man shouting at a cloud) I can't be doing with the stuff I imagine is played. At least with Silver Hayes I can see what's on The Gully and if any of it grabs my attention.

Last time I was in there there was some lad playing very loud dub reggae.

I've not been well.

You know what I mean though? If I was to say to you "Let's go to Mad Dave's Metal Bar", you'd imagine what was being played and may, or may not, be doing with it.

I imagine (with some prior warning) that every venue in Block 9 plays 'banging house tunes'. 

Can't be doing with it

Block 9 was good on the Thursday last year, Friday night though I got caught in a horrible crush that put me right off and I didn't end up back there the rest of the weekend. It's a cool set up though

The mud made in horrendous last night in the crowd traffic when you could not see the ground

I'm looking at heading NYC Downlow on Thursday after Rhythm of the 90s as to avoid any Friday onwards clash. Thursday night is going to be ace this year.

But just think, now that's 'out of the way' all the announcements from now on will be hold greater excitement for you!

I saw you wandering round Block 9 once. You stood out like a confused Gandalf at a toddlers birthday party.
