I'd expect a fair amount of backlash on social media when they do announce him (as usual) although they get that no matter who is headlining! they could have got prince and fleetwood mac in the same year and people would have still complained Edited January 31, 2017 by Memory Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan_Glasto Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Even if it is just Ed Sheeran that's announced next, hopefully they'll also confirm the day and we can see if there may be some truth in the Green Day chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like a good whinge though I must say! It's the people who have never been and think just because a duff headliner is announced it's going to ruin the festival and everyone is going to have a shit time who get to me though. The amount of people who asked me how pissed off I was about having to see Adele last year... No I was in the adjacent field having an absolute blast at New Order! 6 minutes ago, Tartan_Glasto said: Even if it is just Ed Sheeran that's announced next, hopefully they'll also confirm the day and we can see if there may be some truth in the Green Day chat.

morph100 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 I think a new map will be out soon, because we all love a good map especially when its an animated gif with last years one flipping back and forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithy Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Well Gaga's tour dates are slated to be released after her Superbowl performance on Sunday to capitalise on the publicity so I'll guess we'll see if there's a Glastonbury shaped hole in there...

When the full line up with stages is released I like to look for the few names I want to see, realise that most of them clash, close the webpage and hope the real, much better organised line up is released the next day. #betterhipster I like to turn up at Worthy without having seen any lineup announcements at all. Then I like to walk up to the hill behind the Park, and read the full timetable lineup while enjoying my first full view of Glastonbury that year. Then I decide to only see bands that no-one around me has ever heard of. While drinking a craft gin & tonic. #ultimatehipster Edited February 1, 2017 by Quark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou1983 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I reckon we're going to get something soon, elo were announced on this day last year and the changes to the website (sale page going live, kindof) make me hopeful! Probably just the confirmation of Ed though.... meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellboy Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Pick up litter, whittle kitchen utensils – luxury!! I walk 3 miles from the car park carrying as much stuff as I can physically lift to camp in a muddy field with 120,000 other people, then do the 3 mile return trip back to the van the following day to pick up as much warm beer (that tastes like p*iss) that I can carry, wade through mud and other peoples waste for 5 days, contract some stomach bug that really kicks in on Sunday and then pack up soggy camping stuff and walk back the 3 miles to the car park and spend the rest of the week ill and depressed and worried about getting tickets for the next year. Tell that to the kids of today and they wouldn’t believe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyT Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 As it's the NME awards on the 15th it's feasible we'll know a couple more acts at this point in 2 weeks time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
