Can anyone remember who it was in 2017 who gave us the nod regarding the lineup poster dropping? I've tried to find the thread but it's seemingly disappeared. 

Last time, we knew it was imminent because The Avalanches shot their load early:

Then, a mere 100 pages of feverish excitement later, Neil tweeted his traditional "stand by yer beds" warning:

There is a series of days over the next month where Brexit will dominate the news, and it can happen at any time. Not that we’ll actually leave the EU on time on March 29.

The Maybot is currently in negotiations with ME trying to persuade him to drop the big news at the same time as May's plans for Brexit go tits up so as to bury the bad news.

May's negotiating skills do not come even close to ME's legendary skills.

Another epic fail.

Can you imagine the scenes when that tweet comes this year?!

2 years of build up, it'll be reminiscent of England scoring in the World Cup last year

We could get something next Wednesday with the release of Rob Da Bank's new podcast which features an interview with Emily.

that'd be a first time an announcement had gone outside of the companies with central involvement (beeb, guardian, etc).

So I doubt there'll be anything but if there is I expect it to be a small new act that Emily is excited about.

Or perhaps explaining more about the map changes highlighted by the traders last week?

She tends to talk more about infrastructure changes than acts in her interviews i've noticed.

oh, that's very likely.

I took what I replied to as a comment about band announcements.

[Gnomicide]

Yep, I was thinking maybe a small band announcement or maybe site changes. If Rob Da Bank is collaborating with them in an area of the festival I'd expect it to be something about that. 

I can't see it being a headliner, as soon as the first person listens to it and shares the info, it negates the need to listen to the podcast which I presume is the whole point.

Is it possible we might get an announcement from GF before Wednesday? Rob Da Bank was on the farm a while ago (perhaps recording the podcast) so could the podcast be discussing an a headliner/poster announcement? Wondering if there's a reason it doesn't start until next Wednesday.

We only speculated he would be collaborating on an area because we knew he’d been to the farm and was working on something, now we know of the podcast I doubt there’s anything more to the visit.

I think a headliner will be announced today.....no reason I just do

I can certainly get behind blind optimism!

Although I still think we're in a place where the next announcement we get will be the big poster than an individual act.

I am with you on this, either  headliner , map or poster

 

 

I can feel it in my waters

[Art Vandelay]

I've read the tea leaves in the bottom of my cup and drawn the following conclusions:

• there will be a headliner announcement a week today #bewareTheIdesOfMarch
• the first lineup poster will appear on 2nd April
• I need to buy better teabags

I was the first chicken, the best chicken and currently a chicken with no knowledge of what's happening. I'd guess first poster in late March and nothing more before then.

I already said a while back.
