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?

 

2000 - 2008 none, however in 2008 two announcements were made that day after a bank holiday 25 March (Tue): Alabama 3 and 27 May (Tue): Additions to John Peel

How about a Good Friday announcement? 

They should announce the Beat Hotel at the exact time Jesus was carrying the cross and being punched and kicked. Midday ish.

And then announce The Wood at the time he was nailed to the cross in the late afternoon.

 

[Gnomicide]

Announcements on the Tuesday after Easter:

25-Mar 08 -  Alabama 3
29-Mar 16 - 1st Poster
18-Mar 17 - Block 9

Question for @eFestivals, does the festival retain control of when each individual area announces or do they allow each specific stage to announce it whenever they like?

I'm just about certain that the festival tells them when they can announce.

Not as much as I thought.

There have been 5 announcements on Bank Holidays but none at Easter:

25-May-09 - Spring Bank Holiday - Full Line Up
30-May-11 - Spring Bank Holiday - Bourbon Street
25-May-15 - Spring Bank Holiday - Leftfield
02-May-16 - Early May bank holiday - Leftfield
01-May-17 - Early May bank holiday - Shangri-La

Never one at Easter before? If TINP then it's possible...

I mentioned she was keeping us on our toes with a Sunday announcement and then...

Not that I have that saved or anything.

If memory serves I watched Billy Bragg's headline set at Leftfield and got to Avalon for The Mavericks in plenty of time in 2017.

Me too.  But I reckon Frank is going to have a bigger audience than the Mavericks so it was getting in rather than getting there which I would be concerned about.

I'm hoping it's framed and has pride of place in the front room.

There have been wonderful advances in the realm of pre-fab pier construction in the past decade, as far as I know.
