Agree, do it

When does The Thingy suggest the next announcement is, 3 days or so perhaps??

It does look like in 2015/16/17, once the first area announcement came they were doing an announcement every 3-5 days. Now, there were not necessarily many area announcements before resales, but that's because the resales were quite a bit earlier. In one year there was an announcement between the coach resale and normal resale....madness (no pattern, blah blah)! So, with that in mind, I'm gonna err on the side of caution and say we'll get one between the 22nd-25th April :)

Sounds reasonable to me but I hope that given how close the new map dropped when Silver Hayes was announced I live in hope of a sort of pattern even though it could never be a pattern obviously.

So although not usually paired with an announcement going by the last 3 festivals the new map should be with us within the next 2 weeks.

Alongside a 2 x weekly stage announcement for the next few weeks excitement definitely ramping up for me!

There have only been 5 announcements on a Sunday before today.

14/06/09 - The Snug
22/05/11 - Shangri La
23/06/13 - Arcadia 
30/11/14 - Lionel Richie 
14/05/16 - Poetry & Words

Presumably, the stages will now come out before the full line up? 

Will the map drop during this time too? Usually start of May?

So... which stage / area is next?

I'm going to go with Avalon.

Although they were the 2nd to be announced in 2017 and as there's no pattern i'm probably wrong ;)

I'm going for the map (as not announced before resales since 2011 so that's well overdue) and then kidzfield (not that exciting, but fuck it, we'll have the map and we won't care)

In 2017 Cineramageddon details came out after the festival, we know that's back plus I'd expect Glastonbury-on-Sea to also get its own announcement so they could have to cram in 14 area announcements before the full lineup. 

1 down, 13 to go.

Silver Hayes
Block 9
Avalon
Kidzfield
Shangri-La
The Glade
Leftfield
Unfairground
Pilton Palais
The Common
West Holts
Arcadia
Cineramageddon
Glastonbury-on-Sea

Yeah I'd love it if Avalon lineup came out soon, always a good bunch of acts for me and my pals there. Such an amazing area too, having its announcement will bring back happy memories (so long ago now, two years!) and get the juices flowing all over again

Last year (2017) I got to chat with Jeremy Hardy in the Avalon café - he's always been one of my favourite comedians, and I'm so glad to have said hi to him before he very sadly passed on. He'll be very missed at the fest this year, hope they do something to remember him
