It'd be ace if there were no poster at all, and the first you heard of the lineup was on the Thursday of Glastonbury when could collect your little guide.

This is quite literally a recurring nightmare I have. Once it turned out alright (for me) and Taylor Swift was one of the headliners, but another time the only band I'd heard of was Hadouken! One of the things I love about Glastonbury is that period between April-June where I discover loads of new bands, and end up front row singing along.

Where do I queue to tell people that saying "haven't we usually had the line up by now" isn't as good as it used to be?

It’ll be N*E*R*D. 

Every*Single*Fucking*Time. 

By being on every stage at the same time is the only way they could come close to playing the crowd they thought they played to last time.

I'm glad it wasn't just me. I felt like a right git for liking the post, as if I was saying this about Gnom being out of a job:

Thats why he's always posting that picture of the dog that's being taken to get neutered.

Lads, lads, lads, lads, lads. 

You two may refer to your penis as a thingy but some of is are a little more grown up.

 

 

Anaconda, seen as you asked.

Thanks all but, no worries. It's been a long time coming. I've still not had my official letter and they have to give me 3 month's notice. I'm hoping it'll come on the 31st and I get at least 1 month's gardening leave.

Sorry to hear that. Make the Thingy a subscription service...your new career!

[Avalon_Fields]

At the very least can’t we have an Announcement stating there is no Announcement yet 

[shuttlep]

if they have given Rob da Bank (fucking silly name if you ask me, even worse if he chose it himself. if it was given to him he was being bullied and needs to report this to a teacher) some information, I doubt we will hear anything until after his podcast

Don't make out like this is any worse than anything that's gone before.

Significantly more subdued in here than previous years to my memory. Maybe it’s the lack of new/exciting rumours or just having come to terms with three underwhelming headliners, but this place is usually popping with newbies and nonsense by now - just a little of both this year.

This is as far away from betting slip gate as we've ever been in terms of buzz in here for poster drop.

[Nobody Interesting]

Have faith, look back at 2013 when not a lot at all had been announced by now and then bang, 27th March it landed in all it's glory.

2013 was after the last fallow year so if they repeat it now then there is a pattern.

Thanks for the info to The Thingy.

I'm more excited for the new map than a Killers confirmation, tbh.

[Doug85]

Agreed, there is a high chance that the map (or part of it) may be out tomorrow or at least discussed if there is anything linked in with that podcast. Interesting to see if the Map drops before the poster.

[HeyPorter]

Have noticed that only in the last week or so that the link on the main site to the 2017 map doesn’t appear to be working. Gotta mean something right? Or is it just me.

Working fine for me

[HeyPorter]

I’ve got an old link that works for it but searching through the site and doing it that way fails for me which is usually the way I go to it.

Well obvs!

I think most on here are more excited by compost toilets than they are of the Killers being confirmed.

These are the kind of posts I live for. Sod the line up 

[Gilgamesh69]

So once the poster is released, does discussion then turn to figuring out who's playing which stage?

Yep with tons of debates over positionings and how one act would never play above another etc and a lot of sleuthing for tour dates to try and narrow it down ourselves. Months of fun.
