Not long now...

Would Hacienda Classical make a good Pyramid opener one day? I could see that.

Manics  hard to place - were they third or second on other last time? JP  headline seems reasonable.

Third on the other, I'm pretty certain. Could feasibly open it on the Friday if nothing on that day though? A short sharp slice of old school Manics would blow the cobwebs away.

They were third, Pixies and Jake Bugg were above them.

That's right, Jake Bugg. Never forget.

oooh, I'd love a Manics JP headliner slot (like Suede a couple of years ago). Career spanning headline set stuffed with the classics would go down a right treat.

Manics v Radiohead or Ed on the JP would be superb

[FloorFiller]

Doubt all four of those acts will be at Glastonbury and I'd bet that Manics will be the one to give it a miss.

Yeah was thinking a bit like Suede. But given the lack of new material I agree it seems unlikely.

[Gnomicide]

I was lookung at the 2013 poster earlier and pondering if we'd get one like that, stage splits, Avalon and Acoustic included etc. Based purely on the lack of Twitter activity of any of the stage based accounts though, plus the deemed success of revealing one area at a time over recent years, I think it will be similar to recent years with just a load of acts on it.

This week I shall mostly be standing by my bed.....

Somebody's put it to Emily that she previously said March. Her reply: "hold fire!"

Suggests a poster next week. 

Yeah that was me Didn't get anywhere though did it lol

[jparx]

They'd followed the same announcement pattern for a few years now. I reckon we'll get something a bit different this year. Purely a guess though.

I'm not really a fan of the three column poster deal. It can be hard to decipher. I want to know what stage each act is on.

Agreed - no help with clashes - some help for starting to discover bands at least

Which in turn then leads to more clashes - the circle of life goes on

Yep!  At least when I have a breakdown I can deliberately not listen to the clash-losers

In a glass half full manner, I prefer to look at it as opening a door to a broader musical horizon!

Well poster or no poster this thread will certainly be a rollercoaster this week.

I both love and hate this forum around this time - a perfect mix of giddy excitement and crippling frustration.

Shout out to all the employers thinking any work is getting done this week!

I use the discovery of new bands and the love of others to decide which gigs to buy tickets for - but often end up watching  the same at GF as I buy tickets for and missing the others ha ha

Top notch "dad joke" at its finest there.

[CALAK94]

On night shift tonight would be amazing walking out of work tomorrow morning looking at the poster ! 

If not the anticipation alone should get me through the shift....

[brettredmayne]

I would like it  totally unexpected as normally we have had some warning

[across97]

Has anyone got those page notification monitors set up? Has there been anything triggered?
