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

[Krisesk]

I hope I wasn't the only one refreshing this and Glastonbury's social media accounts frantically the last half hour.

Can you get the Killers on vinyl?

I bought Hot Fuss on vinyl when it was about eight quid in HMV.

Same here, solid purchase, I hate not buying from indies but their sales are great, got Eels debut for 12 quid the other day 

[karaseen]

Bargain!

Officially I'm "working from home" tomorrow. My actual plan for the day:

7am - Get up (I don't actually have much say in this, it's dictated by when my one year old daughter chooses to get up)

07.30 - Breakfast of porridge (this will be important later)

08.00 - Pour over poster, check out the initial reactions on here, bore Mrs Jass with talk of potential acts

08.30 - Hastily assemble playlist of featured acts

09.00 - 12.00 - 18 mile run (the porridge was fuel)

12.00 - Review poster, check I haven't missed anything, check back in here for more reaction

14.00 - Conference call for work (be online whilst this is happening)

15.00 - More poster chat, maybe stick a few relevant vinyls on

7 - wake up

7:15 - fall out of bed

7:30 - drag a comb across my head

7:45  - find my way downstairs and drink a cup

8 - look up and notice I'm late because I'm too busy perusing the beautiful poster

Love the assumption you're going to hate the poster so much you're expecting to pour your porridge over it.

Reading it back, that sentence does sound all sorts of wrong

[morph100]

Cannot wait to be underwhelmed tomorrow ? 

[priest17]

8:00 look at poster

8:01 come on here to talk about when the next announcement will be.

[srb]

Why do we think tomorrow? I think evening time has been a popular poster drop time. WOuldn't shock me if was about 7pm or so

Most things look better covered in porridge.

Friday night doesn't sound right to me. I know that #thereisnopattern, but you tend not have PR at the weekend.

I'm on daddy daycare till school duties and then at the quacks. Hopefully I'll be able to peruse in the waiting room.

#ObligatoryThereIsNoPattern

 

 

[Badlands]

There's a pattern of no big poster drops from Friday afternoon across the weekend 

[JoBalls]

Historically the most frequent times of an announcement is 7pm or 8am. 

As 7pm is the time of the brexit votes this evening, I think 8am tomorrow is the most likely bet.

Do we know/remember whether 2016 was an intentional 8.20am or there was some kind of delay?

Which surely makes Friday more likely.

They were waiting until I got to the tunnel. 

[Badlands]

2014 was when it was a 6 Music announcement if i recall correctly? They'd trailed news about glastonbury coming up but not in the manner that it was going to be a full drop of acts.

Lauren breaking it wouldn't be a surprise.

[nikkic]

For somebody who is ticketless I am still far too excited for the poster drop.

I second this. 

[Lubic]

Gonna turn off my work alarm, and wake up tomorrow to the beautiful 'ping' of the efestivals "stand by yer beds" tweet alert. I'll have the Official Glastonbury lineup announcement tweet as my emergency snooze, just in case.
