They'd still get their big announcement though, even if it's after the big one drops!

*clutching at whatever I can*

Clutch away, Davo.

No-one more frustrated than me after the 'definitely Friday' became 'probably Monday'!!

There are a good number of us on auto alerts for when web pages changes behind the scenes prior to going live.  It's usually a good indicator of things happening behind the scenes however I wouldn't read anything into this as can be minor changes such as rewording a  paragraph etc...

Ah I see... well, kind of.

I work with website content and changes are all made off line before being published.  Even sites with CMS don't usually make any live changes so I'm don't understand what's being picked up.

But I hope your alerts are right! :)

On the plus side, the Cassetteboy & DJ Rubbish set in Glade will have so much material to work with after this endless bullshit.

I guess that they could always withhold Acradia and Block 9 if they aren't ready by next week? I seem to recall years ago that Arcadia was mostly TBC or Special Guests when the main drop came and then there was a separate announcement where the gaps were filled in. I think that LeftField was like that a few times too. Unless my memory really has gone.

Can you imagine how good a new series of Spitting Image would be right now.  TV Gold without any doubt.

I know how frustrating! I guess my line of thinking is that area drops have their own deadlines they work to, and if things get delayed for whatever reason then that's obviously unfortunate - but I would have thought the big drop date would be locked in some time ago and wouldn't shift because of the difficulties that arise in delaying it, i.e. informing all the acts, press agreements, publishing agreements etc. etc. Now of course, that doesn't mean the big drop date is today, but I do believe that it will drop on the intended date, whatever date that may be!

Yeh, I think the final date would have been locked and loaded, and not changing for anything. Certain areas being delayed may explain why in previous years some areas have come later....

It could be argued as well that maybe an area prefers a post big-drop announcement - Glastonbury coverage in the window shortly after will be at maximum exposure! Especially if the areas left to announce have some big announcements of their own...

...looking at you Block9 and Arcadia :ph34r:

Also, I think we had fab info (it wasn't from you was it, Sas...?) that the last three full drops have been 22 days before gates open.

We're currently at 33 days out. That's a big difference, notwithstanding #thereisnopattern

It was indeed. And the rational part of my brain still thinks (knows?) that it's too early, particularly as areas are left to come....but damnit, this thread has got me all giddy!!!

This is far too sensible a suggestion! Roll on next week.

No I don’t think so. There’s no real ‘event’ of releasing the stage times. What can they really do for it? She could just as easily be talking about acts that were announced days prior, or keeping tight lipped about acts to be announced a few days later.

    • Maybe hopeful but get Knocked Loose on the Sunday opposite the legend. Similar to the slot Turnstile had in 2022. Would be absolutely phenomenal.
    • One of my personal favourite bands at the minute - MUNA. Was very surprised not to see them booked in 2023 with their last album but hopefully they'll be around next year. Very fun new album from these guys and, as aforementioned, another standout for me at Big Weekend.
    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today.
