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

Do I detect football chat? Now I'll admit to finding the absurdity of the Fancy Bears trolling these boards with parody accounts somewhat amusing lately, but when the off topic chat goes to football I just get confused and upset.

Tomorrow is Friday. The first day of February. 

Fleetwood Mac Friday the First of Feburary. 

Some nice illiteration and it would be a missed opportunity if nothing else. 

I'm going with:

Fist Fleetwood Feet First Friday

[Gnomicide]

Well it's Friday. Reasonable chance of something today.

[gherkin8r]

Fleetwood Mac (second) Friday in February

[CaledonianGonzo]

Didn't realise that Mac and the lads are doing European festivals.  Come the fuck on, farm fam.

Gaga finished the first stint of her residency this week. On a break from it until the end of May now so I'm still sticking with 6th album and European summer tour to be announced this month, lead single too and Feb/March to be the promo. And obvs Glastonbury to be announced. 

[gherkin8r]

One way or another its definitely being announced today

You of all people should know not to make those sorts of statements!

She's already pretty busy with the Grammys and The Oscars this month (performances at both iirc). I expect she'll wait for that all to be done before trying to promote something new

[Bovla]

As we slide into the second half of February, based on previous years, we have a pretty good chance of an announcement (usually a headliner) in the next couple of weeks!

I was under the impression we were expecting all the remaining announcements in one big dump this year? Although I now can't remember why I thought that.

Emily has previously said that this year they're 'returning to the big poster like in the past'. I'm taking that as there not being the multi-coloured 70-75 act one we've had recently, but having the one where some of the areas' acts are separated.

Hope we still get the drip-feed of the small area drops though...I bloody love those!

Now here's a thing. Since 2009 we've had a headliner announced in February in all but 2 years.

2013 (post fallow year )- No headliner announced in Feb - All main stages announced at once on 27th March

2014 - No headliner announced in Feb, we'd already had Arcade Fire in December - 1st poster 4th April, minus Metallica.

I doubt we'll get it all in one hit.

Someone on here said she’d said that, but I was listening to the same interview and she still said they were going to put out the “taster” poster.

I don't have any sources or know anyone ITK, but I have a feeling this years poster will also drop minus Metallica.

But...

2013: nothing of note was announced before the big drop (certainly none of the headliners) but this year we've had Stormzy, Kylie and Janelle

2014: by all accounts Metallica was a replacement for someone. Can't remember who, maybe Bowie? So they maybe held off the poster/another headliner announcement because things were very up in the air

It's quiet. Too quiet. I don't like it, all that seems to be happening this week is bands being ruled out. I'm starting to lean toward the next announcement being the first poster some time in March.

I thought they’d throw us some scraps this month

[JoeyT]

First poster 18th - 22nd March is my thinking.

[Gnomicide]

Statistically, tomorrow is the most likely day for a February announcement. 

[priest17]

This is the first year in years I'm not gagging for the line up so if be pretty happy with the whole shebang being dropped in April or May.
