one act at a time?

Haha maybe not quite one at a time, we'd have to start about three years in advance. And who would they be able to announce other than Fatboy Slim and Mik Artistik? 

But a random selection each day. Maybe we'd get a headliner, possibly two?! Na just one on the bandstand, West Holts opener, and third on William's Green today, etc.

To be fair... there's two and they're both a decent size. ?

Just finished work, what's happening? Something confirmed for tomorrow or are people still just reprising surmising?

This feels like Chinese whispers now. 

We're expecting a lineup announcement tomorrow morning purple monkey dishwasher.

it should be a joke ....how many members of efestivals  can you fit in the Mersey tunnel ?

I reckon it’s gonna be 7pm tonight. 8am tomorrow if not.

I like how each of the smaller areas has its own personal poster drop though, and I think it’d be great if they expanded that to be every stage. Do the Pyramid now to get to placate the newbies who want some big acts to prove the ticket worth, maybe Other around balance time. If nothing else it’d give me more time to explore the lower reaches of stuff like West Holts instead of having to wait til June when the whole thing drops.

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

You running VMLM?

[zico martin]

Stage by stage announcements would be amazing. But to be honest I'd accept anything now, seems like the longest wait ever and i almost miss the days of not getting tickets until the resale! Well not really but come on please!

[shoptildrop]

I don't think we'll even get it but everything crossed for tomorrow (I haven't even got tickets yet mind you!)

My favourite part of the Avalon announcement is the acts being in alphabetical order yet some people thinking they've got their headliners on at really odd times.

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

 

I'm strangely not thinking about it too much

[priest17]

They do stage by stage ones every year don't they? Like from mid-April onwards? I get dead excited about little bands playing tiny venues and then forget about it when I find out a band I've seen 8 times already are playing the John Peel.

[Stubbsy55]

8am tomorrow!

One is just over 2 miles, the other is 1.5 miles. 

I appreciate you didn't really need to know this but this stuff is important!

Feels like Christmas Eve! Unless it drops tonight.... but I’d say it wouldn’t be later than 7, and we’ve not been told to stand by our bed properly yet!!!

I've been standing in my bedroom doorway since 7am just incase I need to rush towards my bed.

Well done. I did it last year for my 50th. Was the best day ever. Had to sadly defer this year, but will be back next year. Good luck mate.
