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

[JoeyT]

I could be entirely wrong but don't the individual stage / area announcements tend to come late morning / afternoon rather than early doors?

I think with social media these days word gets spread so fast ... so would it really matter ?

Would love a Glade-shaped Easter egg this weekend...

We are also talking about one of the only festivals in the world that doesn't need to announce a line up to sell out......they march to the beat of their own drum!

people are still much less engaged with the net at weekends, tho of course the head-in-phone-when-walking types are always plugged in.

Wouldn't we run out of announcements of that was the case?

On another note, am I right in thinking that we won't find out anymore acts from the five main stages until the times are released at the end of May? That seems a long time given that there were so few names on the first poster!

I think theres enough announcents left to see us through to the back end of May.

 

Leftfield

T&C

Kidzfield

Cineramaggedon 

Acoustic stage

The Glade

Truth stage

Shangrila

Arcadia

Block 9

Possibly blast one out for this theatre stage

Cant remember, do the main stages get one? West holts, the Park, JP. I know Pyramid/Other haven't, cant remember the others. Second poster as well though.

That's upwards of about 15 more announcements in 6 weeks, 2/3 a week till then seems a good number, happy times.

[Gnomicide]

The Capaldi thing was never going to be Glastonbury. If he is playing it will be on one of the main stages and I don't think we'll see anything from them until after all (or at least most) of the smaller areas are announced.

Saturday announcements are even rarer than Sundays, there have only ever been 4 before:

17 February 2007: The Killers
6 June 2009: The Bandstand
4 June 2012: Arcadia
7 May 2016: Theatre & Circus

[Crazyfool01]

there is also the new pier which has a stage I believe .... failing that announcing some new longdrops would be enough to get many on here excited

West Holts does, The Park has once (when first launched).

I reckon we'll get them for these:

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

Then they'll release the full lineup.

2 down, 12 to go.

So 2 a week for the next 6 (basis of nothing today) means the full lineup with times sometime during the last week of May.

Seems logical enough.

To be fair, we do need adequate time in between announcements to check out the things that have already been announced. I'm still only on the D's of the Silver Hayes announcement!

Are we expecting the pier/Glastonbury-on-sea to contain a stage?

Yep. There's a bandstand on it so presumably there'll be bands.

Or if it’s anything like the bandstand in the town I grew up, there’ll be kids smoking, riding their bikes and swearing at people that walk past.

The sketch shows the pier 40' (~12M) wide at the entrance, so I would guess the bandstand area to be about 20M diameter. It's not much space considering the crowds we see around the 2 existing bandstands.

Also looking at the map the pier is totally surrounded be public camping, not sure if this would work.

Given Emily thought she'd beaten the Thingy with a first Sunday announcement, perhaps she'll drop a Saturday one to up the stats?

Is it going to devour a large chunk of pennards campaign? I presume for health and safety they won't allow you to camp under it, or along the edges in case people throw stuff off

I'll ask her. Now that we're bezzies, I'm sure she'll let me know.

Oh God. How much work would go into checking the dates of all bank holidays since 2000 and seeing if any had an announcement on them?

being on the Es would be more relevant to silver hayes  

[Northtim]

How about a Good Friday announcement?  Elvana have teased some announcement for tomorrow and I am hoping they will be there as I have yet to experience the Elvis fronted Nirvana and it looks amazing.

Probs be tour dates for them but heres hoping we get more soon - getting greedy after the lull for the last couple of days!
