By all known laws of the Thingy we should have something, anything, in the next 48 hours.

First rule of The Thingy is that there are no rules, you know that.

Is there a list of the time of day the previous announcements have been made midweek? 

Straws. Clutching.

Perhaps they’re so embarrassed by their other Pyramid headliners that they’re not going to announce them in advance of the poster drop

Geoff Ellis and TRNSMT would’ve been better doing this.

Is a pattern the same as a rule though? Surely the rule is that there is no pattern... 

Just give us a damn announcement!

There is a pattern. A pattern of taking us to the brink of insanity. 

We're all here Eavii now pull us back before it's too late!

Due to the passing of Andy Anderson, would you think that any potential Cure announcement for Glastonbury will be delayed? @eFestivals

Blimey, was The Streets stock that low in 2009? 

Yup. This is why I’m so surprised that the comeback is being mooted as such a big deal. I am trying to remember what year Mr.Skinner last did Glastonbury (2013?) but it was to a half empty JP Tent.  Neither band nor audience really wanted to be there....

[Zacko]

With The Streets I feel like in the past four or five years there's been a big recognition of how influential the first three albums are.

Remember seeing them at Boardmasters 09 (I think) when I was about 17 and really enjoying it, but not really having a clue outside of Fit But You Know It.

It wasn't until I went to Uni that I really started to appreciate the albums as a whole, and the influence they've had. Almost like he needed to go away to come back sort of thing?

Only 37 hours to go and counting 

[sadimmock]

I do think that there is something in that and that it is becoming more common. I could speculate that this is driven by relatively few “festival type” bands sticking around for long enough to build name recognition. Anyway who knows!

Anyway back onto headliners. Gaga please Mr.E.

Emily looks at The Thingy and chooses a date based on any slight sign of  a pattern. As February almost showed a Friday type pattern she decided to do the next announcement in March. 

I blame The Thingy

All hail The Thingy

She's going to announce on 1st March to spite us isn't she?

There's nothing bigger than a comeback where they say "fuck it, I'm just going to play the hits and not realise a new album no one will buy".

Going by Ian Brown's solo album, and their two singles, probably for the best.

In saying that, I think there are plans for an album:

Longer than I thought too, they got a good 4 years out of that reunion. Faded after 2013 really though. Heaton park in 2012 was still one of the best gigs i've ever been to (not for vocals or anything) but purely for excitement, atmosphere and crowd generally just getting involved- it just all clicked however at Glasgow Green in 2013 and subsequently The Etihad in 2016 they got progressively worse on the same set list.

I made a conscious decision, which with the benefit of hindsight I cannot fathom, not to bother with Heaton, thought it would be shit and full of sad cases in bucket hats lobbing piss around, but by all accounts it was genuinely brilliant. Went to Finsbury the year later and really enjoyed them, never bothered afterwards, really should have seen them at their first reunion shows.

Saw them at Heaton, Finsbury and Wembley in 2017 and performance level wise 2017 may have been the best, but it was looking like that'd be their last gig anyway even at the time so it's possible they worked their nuts off to deliver a great set and it worked. Heaton was still the pinnacle though
