Decided to move plans forward and move in with my partner, who lives 150 miles away just outside Manchester (I live in Essex). Currently looking for work. My biggest worry... that I get the last week of June off ? pre booked holiday is a wonderfull thing ... I thought jobs had to honour that ... well at least thats what I said when I returned after my redundancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most companies will honour it though, it's just if you're required to go on a specific training course that clashes or something similar that would potentially cause an issue.

shuttlep Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 I get the feeling that this year we will only find out the lineup when we get our lanyards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if that is the route they are planning on going down then they really should put all the punters in the picture before expecting them to part with their cash! It wouldn’t deter me but I know there’s an awful lot of people that dont understand the festival fully and lineup is key to them going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uscore Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 peak "haven't we already had the lineup by now?" gets earlier every year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 No lineup revealed at all this year. You just turn up to a stage and either hope you like who’s playing or sprint between all the other stages before you finally land on somebody you’re a fan of upon realising that it’s their last song and you’ve gotta do it all over again. Total chaos. Everybody knackered. Nobody satisfied. And then The Killers don’t play Mr Brightside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priest17 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 I bet they've gone one further and not booked any acts. Just a weekend of Water Aid adverts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it’s because they are really confident of the lineup and know it’s gonna be received really well as opposed to being bad and slightly embarrassed by it ??♂️ Edited March 11, 2019 by Razza_bezza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
