Saturn5 Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Are there any more lineup announcements due or is that it? I kept reading 'very soon' but that was 3 or 4 weeks ago and it's all gone a bit quiet. Or have I missed it?? I'm ok with who's playing so far but like many, feel it's just missing something.

timeforheroes Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 They announced a few for the glow tent but there's plenty to come. Won't be many big names but a few yet for every stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comfy Bean Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Does anyone remember when the 2nd announcement was last year ? We must be due the rest of the main stages.....hopefully :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The third and fourth announcements (Main, Calling Out & Woodland) were 3 March & 14 April...guessing it's gonna be rolled into one sometime over the next couple of weeks. Then we can expect a few drip feeds (including comedy, jagerhaus, lost eden etc) over the next couple of months as per last year. Last year Chai Wallahs wasn't announced until the week before the festival! Edited April 4, 2017 by Mr_Grump Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year the full Chai Wallahs line up was left until the last minute...wasn't aware that a handful of performers had already been announced...last year there were around 25/30 performances so more than half yet to be announced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn5 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Perhaps they are still trying to confirm acts? Was hoping Jamie T would play but doesn't look likely now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloopJohnB Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) Is anyone else getting pissed off by the constant barrage from the KC Twitter feed? It's sold out....We know there's a waiting list.....And the headliners are now engrained in my eye lids from the 273 tweets a day.....STOP!!!!!

'Very soon' for fucking weeks whenever anyone asks for an announcement. I can't work out if they're being obtuse or just amateur but either way it's really frustrating. Gets even worse when people ask simple questions like what day are soandso on and they ignore them. It comes across as really childish I think.

ramragon Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Seems like a tactic that's rolled out every year for a majority of festivals, there's a lot to be said by the way glastonbury do it, one announcement with every stage, band and daily split on it.

LOCHLAND5 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 I've been reliably informed that they have announced more to date this year than they have in the past ! Think it's a case of calm your passion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's a case of calm your passion! I don't disagree - like bottonrob said would just be nice to know, if there are more announcements - what date would that be instead of weeks of 'very soon'! It gets irritating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloopJohnB Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 I'm not bothered by the lack of announcement.....It's the constant bombardment of pointless tweets....."wish we were in the fields"....."the headliners are...." We already know FFS!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port-a-loo Pete Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 The suspense is killing me now, not expecting any huge names but would be nice to know who else will be performing. I know I should be more patient, the announcement is coming "soon" after all ;-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
