I listened to that sentence in Supernintendo Charmers voice...

Lads and ladies, just to put a slight spin on things but doesn't this happen every year. We're all sat ever so slightly despondent on the lacklustreness of the predicted headliners then BAM Glastonbury does something from leftfield (not the tent) and announces something unexpected or have I got rose tinted glasses?

I'm a dreamer. For me the dream is still alive. 

La la ooh la laa ga ga ooh la laaa

On the contrary I find that we're always dreaming pretty big in the lead up, usually knowing two out of three headliners but foolishly hoping the third will be Bowie/Prince/Fleetwood Mac/Stone Roses/Madonna but then in the few weeks leading up to the poster drop come to the realisation that it's actually gonna be Mumfords/Kasabian/Coldplay/Muse/Ed Sheeran.

The Killers seem significantly worse and even unbelievable than that lot because they're an act we often laugh about as being a fill-in headliner when they're announced for other festivals as they're seemingly never not at a UK festival, but from the sound of it that's exactly what they'll be doing for Glastonbury this year. We've had our hopes of Madonna, Fleetwood Mac etc for this year - it's time to come to terms with the reality that the festival, due to no real fault of their own, dropped the ball a bit this year.

Damn it, you're right. NOW I'm convinced by the Killers rumour

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'm not sure why people are so down on The Killers.  They'll provide a great drunken singalong for people who love a song performed by a slightly taller Kelly Jones.

SIC: Good lord what is happening in there?!?

JJ: Bastille?

SIC: Bastille?!? At this time of day, at this time of the year playing only in your kitchen??

JJ: Yes.

SIC: Can I see them?

JJ: No.

Yes I love this ?

I've been away for a week and somehow we've got through nearly 50 pages which I wont be going back through ?

Now we've got the balance payment window (1st - 7th April) and the resale dates what do we think the chances are of getting something (anything!) before 7th April ?

I’d say there’s a pretty good chance of the first poster arriving before then.

I mean I get the whole this is how Glastonbury do it thing and so much more then the headliners etc. but throw a dog a bone. 

It feels like its slow old progress for getting any form of announcements this year.

This is said a lot mid march literally every year ahah.

Is it just me or does it seem like we have way less solid info this year than usual?

[Cockney_Jesus]

They blew all the budget at the last festival. Stormzy, Kylie and Janelle Monae is all we're getting.

Definitely seems like we have less of an idea of how the top of the main stages are gonna pan out other than the likes of Liam G subbing which we’ve known for ages. Not sure if that’s just because people have been more tight lipped or if it’s just usually easier to guess. Both excited and nervous about this in equal measures.

[Crazyfool01]

I think everyones just desperate for any news after a fallow year ... we are just scratching around in the mud at the moment

I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently, we don’t seem to have as many self confirms and TBC’s this time as we have done in previous years. 

[Quark]

I prefer it tbh. Injecting a bit more anticipation into it.

[morph100]

American acts are harder to predict as they are more distant with less leaky links ?

[Madyaker]

I'm not normally one who gets impatient about lineup announcements but it's time to throw the dog a bone I think! Is Emily supposed to be doing some radio interview this week?
