You might not be far wrong there.....

Keep an eye out for the Avalon stage lineup.

Remember, you didn't hear it from me ???

Hold on...WHAT?

[Gnomicide]

Number of days between the first big lineup drop and the start of the festival. I worked it out as the festival starting on Friday until 2010 when I switched to Wednesday being the first day. I can't remember when they started advertising as Wednesday being the 1st day.

I'm bound to have cocked something up so don't look too closely.

The final headliner (Stereophonics) were announced on the 26th. They played on the 29th!

*Waits for wanting to keep it quiet gags.

Especially as back then, times for most of the stages wouldn't get announced in advance.

Q Magazine would publish the times for the 4-5 biggest stages, then The Guardian website would add another 5 or 6 - you wouldn't find out the times for anything else until you read the programme - or given that back then some places had a habit of missing the print deadline until you read the chalkboard / sign posted outside the stage.

you can find out by looking at the dates in the yearly efests Glasto listings.

So looking at that we’re looking at another 2 to 3 weeks.

Just had a look. It was 2009 you 1st started including Wednesday in the festival dates so it must have been then.

[giantkatestacks]

Yes - its often when I'm away for Easter hols. Not expecting it until then. With Brexit the only spanner.

Is it not normal for a chicken to be at its best after it has been killed?
