JoeyT Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 After all this it would be incredible banter from the festival if we didn't even get the lineup by Friday, on Friday or for another week or so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Glasto Thingy @TheGlastoThingy May 22 More Sasperella off of the @eFestivals forum has had the abacus out and may have (I can barely bring myself to say it), found a pattern! For the last 3 festivals the full lineup came out 22 days before gates open. 2015: 2/6, gates 24/6 2016: 31/5, gates 22/6 2017: 30/5, gates 21/6 I have since decided that I'm far too impatient for this pattern to be a pattern Plus I'm not a witch and don't want anyone to burn me...so it has to come out today to avoid that!

I'm asking cos I have no idea. If memory serves, it was an evening announcement on Radio 1. I remember because my work shifts back then were 12 - 8 and there was a strict mobile phone policy in place. When I came out it had dropped.. with The Rolling Stones on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSheriff Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 I was under the impression LL does a show in the run up most years.... I always thought it was used as a bit of a test run by the BBC for the coverage a few weeks later. As for the lineup I got a feeling in my stomach that it’s today.... might have been last nights chicken madras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A put Absolute on especially and they kicked off the show by playing Satisfaction. I was in my kitchen if that helps.

Keithy Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 I bet Emily trolls us. No announcement today and Friday is to announce when she'll be making a line up announcement. I really hope she mentions the Thingy too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffy394 Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 I still have it in my heart for today. If we assume that the majority (if not all ) the individual stage announcements have been, then according to the thingy they wouldn't leave us over a week without a single announcement to announce on the 4th! It usually seems like 4 days max from final individual stage announcement. Watch Williams Green get announced today and this idea go to complete shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
