Could be but recently KC have waited until around 7pm for their announcements. Admittedly they sometimes lob minor announcements out at that time. Sure whenever it is, they'll build it up big style

good use of 'lob' and 'build it up big style' there Ram....I like it!  :)  agree though can't see it being the big reveal at 8am but would be happy to be wrong as it's cheer up my commute!

I actually kind of like the drum roll or it, although the leak last year spoilt that. I think it would be great if maybe just for the headlines and 2/3 subs they announced each day every hour on the hour etc. Make a really big deal of it! Of course that doesn't work if they only have the Frank Turners/ Paul Heaton type bookings!

Nah that's just them drumming up support.

They'll be there ! 

We seriously deserve a year off from them ! It’s just embarrassing now ! I’ve never found them funny ever ! But the comedy value has surely ran its course for a few years !

Kendal usually plug it from days before. Wouldn't surprise me if they made an announcement on Monday saying ' tune in live at 6pm Thursday for our initial line up news'

I'd be happy with that......something.....anything! I think sitting it out last year has made me double excited to see what's what for this year...

no, they might have been told the same as i was told. I was later told something else, but maybe they weren't...?

(and that's me winding you up :P)

what do you make of this that was just posted on fb?.....

To throw a complete spanner in the works, someone actually messaged me when I made a comment about the line up being released and said that ... KC were short on capital and the line up would suffer and that's the reason why the 2018 payment plan started before the 2017 festival. Those early payments went towards last year which has had a knock on effect onto this and they know that releasing the headliners is unlikely to cause a surge for tickets like last year. 

I am not posting who messaged me unless they uncover themselves as I do not know who they are, any connections they have and where they could have got such info from.

As business owner myself I would be pretty miffed that was going about even if there was an element of truth in it .

ive see their accounts and they have a healthy balance sheet and a decent working capital.

I always thought ticket money was ring fenced to stop people dipping into it I may be wrong about that though .

Be interesting to see if they start next years payment plan as early as they did for this year.

As someone who bought on the 15mth plan I'm pretty miffed too!

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
