Resale not until April 28. That poster isn't coming anytime soon ladies and gentlemen. Stand down.

Balance is due on 1st April though. Don't we normally get the poster before we start paying?

Don’t think that makes much difference, it usually comes in or around the balance window.

It’ll be around the same time as normal.  Guessing it isn’t the week before as it’s Easter Sunday.

Still anticipating the lineup towards the end of the month? Or will that be moved back a little as well? 

Also - Is there usually a slight heads up, or do they just drop the poster online? 

[briddj]

Probably right. Going back under my rock.

I think Neil gets it in advance so he can populate the site. He usually gives us a warning an hour or two before it drops.

The longer this is going on with no additional announcements makes me think they have booked something big. Who, I don’t know.

Who could they book that nobody thought of?

 Who would hold back on announcing

I hope it’s not the who

I’d be surprised if that was true. I think his sources give him a heads up about when to locate our beds, but I reckon he sees it at the same time as any of us. Just a theory.

Yeah they normally release something before the payment window otherwise they get people complaining all over social media about being expected to pay up without knowing the lineup.

Part of me is always like “well it’s Glastonbury, I’d go even if there wasn’t a single name on the lineup I was interested in” but then I do get it... if I was about to go to my first ever Glastonbury and was being asked to part with £250 off the back of Stormzy, Kylie and Janelle Monae, I’d be a bit... concerned... too.

I’m still holding out hope for Gaga. At this stage, headlining the Other Stage seems like her only possibility, but while my heart says yes my head can’t see it.

 

Can’t help but feel like the Eavii will have missed a trick by passing on Gaga after A Star Is Born.

Any chance that her and Bradley grab a secret set on Park? There's rumors that her Vegas residency prevents her from doing any announced gigs outside of Vegas for the duration of the residency.

However, they could both easily show up and do a secret set. Especially since Lukas Nelson + Promise of the Real will be in UK (they were the backing band for A Star is Born) during glasto.

Looking at those dates you've got to fancy 7th or 14th really, but they're both Sundays so...

They wouldn’t release it too late in April because Game of Thrones is going to dominate all media. Also they won’t release it at the end of March because of Brexit. So it has to be coming tomorrow

who likes this logic?

There will be an announcement tomorrow.

[dentalplan]

They’ve been trying to release the lineup since January but been waiting for a day with no news or other festival announcements.

Gnomicide, you are so wise

I wonder what the reasons are for the years the announcement comes after balance deadline.....due to issues with contracts, a perception that the lineup wont be received as favourably (can't see that being an issue) or just because they like to reiterate that there really is no pattern and they can fuck with us at will.

I also stupidly read some comments on the balance reminder post on facebook - "Why wouldn't you expect us to pay without a lineup??" etc etc. Really drives home the fact that some people just don't get it!
