Lawks! It's only the 2019 Next Announcement Thread!

[Gabi_says]

There goes my day, then. I had this big plan to actually work and get a lot done today, but I guess now I'll HAVETO spend the entire day jumping between this place, Twitter and the festival website while listening to Lauren Laverne's show just in case ...

As I'm being too lazy to consult the thingy, wouldn't this be particularly early for the first poster?

[jackmerton]

I’ve joined the party late and can’t scroll back through all the pages because of shite internet, can anybody kindly summarise just what the hell has happened this morning please!! It seems like everyone here is losing the plot (even more so)! Thanks!! ?

Fond memory of freaking out in Halls when The National were on that poster

Irrational hatred of The Simpsons there 

Forgot to mention that he also told people off for guessing the hour that the tweet would come

For some odd reason, The Thingy is blocked on my work internet. I seem to think that the last time it was this early it had the Stones on it. I'll happily be corrected though.

#ObligatoryThereIsNoPattern

 

Outside chance of 7pm tonight then? Otherwise tomorrow morning

[Doug85]

Just now, Hugh Jass said:

We haven't quite had enough in comparison!

Plus we haven't had as much hysteria as that year unless it's been spread out over 2 years! 

[mufcok]

I'd love an evening drop tonight to properly take it in, rather than 8am tomorrow morning and all work sacked off

[Hugh Jass]

I'm going to try and only post 5 times today(including this one), would like me 10,000th post to be in reaction to the poster.

Although, looking at those times above... is a reveal this evening out of the question?

Not out of the question but in my opinion due to the friendship between Lauren Laverne and Emily I suspect tomorrow morning so that Lauren can interview Emily on her radio show.

Neil did tell us all to stay home today...but that's probably just Neil being a big old Neil.

7pm was in the days when fests used to frequently announce their lineups on Zane Lowe’s Radio 1 show, those days are long gone

yeh that was what I was trying to say, forgive me I’ve been up since 4am  

tbf they did announce Kanye on that show just after Annie Mac took it over but I don’t think either Reading or Glasters have touched it since then.
