2020 Next Announcement Thread!

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

If it's true that people have seen it then I'd suspect the drop must be imminent. Can't see them producing it and leaving it laying around for a few weeks. 

I imagine that the ink's still wet on the poster when they announce.

The big agencies will definitely enforce contract rules whether it’s Glastonbury or not. They all have written in that artwork needs to be approved before announcing. Yes Glastonbury is probably the most prestigious festival in the world but at the end of the day it’s still a paid gig. 

Yeah I agree with this. I can imagine agents arguing that their act should be on the 4th row, not the 5th row, and they should be above so and so etc. There must be some back and forth, not necessarily with the artists but their representatives. Perhaps not with acts on the bottom half of the poster, but yeah I imagine Aerosmith's people have OK'd it to some degree.

Yeah I agree with that as well. If agents/artists do have to OK it, I imagine they're given a very quick turnaround.

It's coming isn't it......

No

I remember someone said for 2014 that the reason the poster looked like this is because they made a quick decision to release the lineup.

Metallica signed the dotted line in Feb and they were waiting to get them in the bag before releasing anything. Obviously they couldn’t announce them so they had to generate a poster with “special guests”.

I mean it might be...

This would be the earliest poster drop so far though right? Seems unlikely but who knows

Need to log out of this one first, 2 mins.

All this talk makes it feel like it's coming. Would love a nice early drop but I really can't see them doing it until at least March!

I have heard from someone "in the know" that if we keep this thread hot for five consecutive days and then repeat "Michael Eavis is our Lord and saviour" three times in a mirror whilst listening to Fix You, we'll get the poster.

I'm not at liberty to say, but the individual in question was wearing shorts.

To anyone who remembers the run up to 2013, nothing was more exciting than watching this unfold.

Maybe because it was my first glasto. But the stones + these clues made the atmosphere on these forums electric! Can’t believe this was 7 years ago now!

edit. All in the wrong order but who cares!

first sign of madness pal 😉

So do we know what time the first posters have dropped in the past?

I know sometimes its morning, sometimes evening, what about afternoon? Is it on the hour? Or half past? Why not 10 past?

 

[Crazyfool01]

im going for a swim at 3 .... reckon its going to happen between 3 and 4.30 

[Greenelk]

I'm going to be in The Royal George pub tonight.  For one of the previous first poster drops, I was also in The Royal George.  Surely it's a sign? 🤪

[a6l6e6x]

Every poster drop I remember I've been in the gym. Just got back so it won't be today

[jparx]

I think I've been walking to walk for the last couple. I've sinced moved and now I drive - does that mean I have to walk 3 hours to work to get the poster?

Don't often post here but I thought this was worth mentioning. So make of this what you will but, essentially, I spoke to someone last night (a good friend, very nice person who I couldn't really see lying about something like this) who is mates with a couple of the guys who play for Rex Orange County... They said that they'd been shown the poster from the guys. They confirmed it was Kendrick (not that we didn't already know that) and they also named Dua Lipa and The Strokes as playing. Could be complete bullshit, could have just been shown a fake poster and been confused (I didn't think artists were actually sent the poster to be honest), but I thought it was worth mentioning to get people hyped up for poster day.

Hey! Joey JoJo!

[Crazyfool01]

another sure fire sign of its arrival is people posting what they are up to now ....and  saying it will and why it won't be arriving

Yep

I was on the loo for 2015. For some reason I remember hearing my phone receive the notification from outside the room. 
 

2017 I remember waking up to see that the lineup had been released. It must have been early because I remember waking my flat mate up and then going back to bed.
