Next Announcement 2017 Thread

[EamerRed]

I feel like lots of announcements were on Tuesday's last year. Could be making it up mind.

Yeah though muse and adele both got announced on friday's so nothing impossible...I imagine Foo's will announce around the NME awards time

I think the main days last year were:

ELO - Monday

Coldplay - Tuesday

PJ Harvey - Thursday 

Muse - Friday

Adele - Friday

Updated Map - About 10pm on a Saturday

First Poster - Tuesday

There is no pattern. AHTT.

I did some analysis once and had it all written in a book, I'll have to see if I can find it. 

If I remember correctly, Friday's were quite rare but they broke all rules last year, after 7pm, Saturdays...

Maybe one day I'll add the days to TheThingy, I was thinking about it the other day, shuddered and decided against it.

I tried to go to their wesbite for show dates, but it sadly doesn't lead anywhere.

Oh, nice. (In my defence, so did @The Red Telephone...)

I also like that someone suggested changing it to #HTTT.

(Not for one minute inferring that The Thingy is shit. I was attempting a joke by writing in a style spoken by young Americans)

This thread really needs an announcement soon

Even though we all know what the next three announcements are likely to be, it would be nice to get something soon. Surely next week?!

[Tuna]

Yeah there's yet to be a twist like in previous years. Will Mumford headline? What's this Depeche Mode talk? Can Elbow just fuck off? Is this the year we get Prince? Is this Metallica fiasco for real? Why isn't Florence a headliner? Why the fuck are The Who playing now? I think this place can't function when we know what's going on. Surprised we haven't descended into Simpsons yet, really.

This one is still accurate. And will always be accurate in my eyes.

I once decided I wanted to see Elbow (I was at Beni at the time) to see what some of the fuss was about after Seldom Seen Kid came out.. None of my mates wanted anything to do with them so I went alone. About 15 minutes into their set I got a phone call from a mate saying that he thinks another mate had passed out in a portaloo and needed help - I had a lot more fun trying to work out which portaloo the mate was in and then ripping the door off and seeing the friend passed out than I was having at Elbow.

 

Edit: When I say 'ripping the door off' - I mean getting a sucurity bloke to open it for us.

I need to get a life....

TheThingy updated to include the actual days announcements were made.

Seems I was wrong about Fridays.

Mon - 34
Tue - 47
Wed - 34
Thu - 40
Fri - 41
Sat - 6
Sun - 27 (Sundays are skewed because ticket sale dates are included)

So there you have it, who'd have thought it, #ThereIsNoPattern

There is a 4 in all week day numbers.
