So a female act announcement is imminent within minutes/hours, then?

I took it as Emily was talking about a surprise appearance at the award ceremony, which would almost certainly be Taylor Swift.

Sounds to me like the next announcement is the poster, not Kenny first then poster. Think we can stand down for a couple more weeks.

Surprise acts was interesting. Reckon we'll have a couple "TBA"s on the Pyramid. Don't want to get too hyped for it, but two of Radiohead will very likely be there anyway...

1 act booked at the awards...

Poster next, probably not an individual Kendrick announcement.

I’m not surprised given that his BST tickets are not exactly selling like hot cakes. The ‘launch GA’ (cheaper than GA) are still available

Hmm I really don’t think BST is an easy gig to sell unless you are an absolutely huge ticket selling act.

When was the last time we had a TBC on the Pyramid, if at all?

Surely this can't happen? I mean, obviously I would absolutely love it, and couldn't conceive of anything better, but...surely it can't? Can it?

Radiohead and a Simpsons gif. That's the sweet spot right there

[Guy Incognito]

It's not gonna be Radiohead.

It'd better not be. They'd be the new Coldplay.

[Doug85]

Libertines were the last TBA/TBC on the Pyramid that I can remember and that was due to Dave G breaking his leg so I'm not sure when/if we have gotten all the way to the day and the festival still haven't announced an act on purpose. 

Could be why they have extended the field this year. 

Hopefully it's not just because of Aerosmith as we all "know" that one.

Metallica were special guest on the first poster drop to in 2014

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

Referring to the thingy, broadly speaking the first lineup poster has gradually got earlier over the past few years. Certainly last year was the earliest ever being 15th March, so hopefully it will be early March.

[phimill]

I have a feeling it's coming earlier than we expect! next 10days maybe? No news - just a feeling!

They were revealed before the festival though. A lot of people reckon it was for contract reasons.

We've had the poster in March for the past 7-8 years so I still expect we have a fair few weeks left.
