NIcely done.

The Avalanches posted their confirmation at 8:05am this morning. They're from Australia, where it would have been 6:05pm. I think it was a mistake, and that they were told the lineup was coming out at 6pm so they scheduled their post to come out at 6:05pm, but obviously that's 10 hours before in Australia. My theory.

I think they are waiting until it hits 250 pages (so 9.30am)

I wish 3 or 4 years back Neil had tweeted a slightly different army wake up / inspection call and now everyone was urgently scurrying around looking for socks.

Back into the office, back on to this thread....

Could really use some Glastonbury cheer today

20 mins....

I'd have thought the other way around. Drop the line-up at 9am and it's almost immediately overshadowed. Drop it at 6pm, and it's like a ray of sunshine behind the news today.

And I'm pretty sure last year's festival dates were scheduled before the EU referendum was.

Yeah spose that's sound enough logic!

Re: the dates, of course but from a PR perspective nothing on A50 will overshadow the fest as much as last year did.

"Selby was delighted with his form as he looks ahead to defending his world title in Sheffield next month.

"I played really well," he told World Snooker."

It's totally coming today. Smashing stuff.

There goes the "never on a Wednesday" theory.

I LIKE this theory. I seriously need to get on with some work today.

I like that theory, apart from having to wait until 6pm

[Justiceforcedave]

If it's not here by 9am I'm standing down and getting the hell outta bed.

Depends where in Australia they are though as there are 3 different time zones !! So could be 10, 9 or 7 hours ahead! 

[Lucy92]

Having a crap day today. A line up announcement would be lovely!

That Avalanches confirmation is interesting.  Isn't that the normal way to announce people are playing on announcement day??
