In which case i wouldn't take too much from what he says. Firstly Derek's not involved in the artist booking (as far as i'm aware, anyway) so wouldn't have need to know an exact announcement date (tho that doesn't mean he doesn't hear it anyway, of course), and secondly the individual stage announcements might only get scheduled later on (I don't know how they schedule stuff). I'd take it as a generic thing, of announcements standardly being made in April, than anything with certainty. Plus if I said 'next month' on the last day of a month I don't necessarily take that to mean it'l definitely be April if said in March. If he had said it 1 day later, it'd change the constructed timescale massively. I don't often take comments like that literally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosssss224 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Made in the Manor is a sensational album imo and I'm far from the biggest grime fan. Roadmans Hymn and T-shirt weather in the Manor are great songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The60ftOctopus Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 One thing there seems to be a pattern for is that Full Lineup is announced end of May to Mid June (at the very latest). Until this point the following stages/bit & bobs 'usually' have their own announcement: 2017 Map Leftfield Shangri La The Common Arcadia Kids Field Theatre & Circus The Glade Throw in West Holts and it's not unfair to assume that we can have two/three announcements per week now. Including another this week. Usually the map has dropped by now though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was just based on Alt J only being available on the Saturday? What rules them out for the Friday? Really hoping somehow they are not on the Sunday night as I want to see them! yes, Emily told NME that the Sunday Other headliners are BBK.

I just found it slightly hard to believe Kano is headlining The Park, as much as he obviously is. I think what is probably more likely is BBK not starting to later than normal. I could see BBK just doing an hour, say from 22:15-23:15. grime isn't exactly known for long sets. If Kano did 21:00-21:45 then that would give people time to get up to the Other in 30mins.

I suppose then Alt-J would sub Foo Fighters, with The National perhaps headlining the Other on Sunday. obviously the info suggests the contrary though, along with the poster order seemingly indicating Major Lazer/Alt-J/BBK as Other, along with XX/National/Biffy Clyro subs for the respective days.

I can't be entirely sure, tho suspect the info I had for Saturday was the original plan but things had to be swapped around because of Alt-J only being available on the Saturday.

Funkyfairy! Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I'm so looking forward to the JP announcement - my favourite stage. Has anyone got any inside info on when that may be released ;-) xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How sure are you Alt-J are headling the Other stage on saturday on a scale of 1 to 100%? Is there a possibility they could sub the Pyramid or sub the Other?

pauladam Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Map - I want a map! But assume they are maybe holding this back due to site changes (drive in cinema thing) and maybe some surprises??!?!?!? Maybe they just haven't been able to secure my pitch yet - so waiting on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memory Man Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) not really getting the whole "west holts will get its own announcement" thing. They did not have a stand alone announcement for the 2015 or 2016 festival. They are a main stage and therefore I expect them only to be announced with the big main drop, unless there is a stage breakdown poster before then.

It was so last minute, SecretGlasto tweeted it, but was still too late for most people. Texas have always struck me as right squares too - almost irritatingly professional. I saw Texas supporting Roger Waters in Hyde Park some years ago. She spent the whole set swearing at the audience for wanting to watch the football (euros or World Cup, can't remember which) rather than watching her, who none of us had gone to see anyway. Put me off her for life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
