Well I chose Feb 20 in the sweepstakes to hopefully entertain me at work today but reading this thread this morning (NZT) has already killed two hours. Thanks for the hype!

I don't really understand how it works though. Do I copy and paste it and add myself, or is there a special admin who does it for me?

The guy who created copy and paste died today. Just a random piece of news there. Imagine where we'd all be without copy and paste!!

You telling me there's a pint in it now? I'd have put more thought into it if I'd known..

OMG! 

I've never even thought to consider before that someone must have invented copy and paste. Mind blown...but then it has been a very long day

Yes. But I tend to do it more often in milk or coffee.

We found out that if you eat green olives and then drink a pint of lager it tastes like toast. 

I don't know why, but I felt the urge to tell you that.

I'm running it so don't worry about that, haven't thought as far as a prize. A jpg of a medal from mspaint should do the trick

Oh, cool thanks! I think some dates are maybe missing from the most recent copy and past, but that's ok, I'm gonna go with the 5th March please  

Despite knowing there is no pattern, I still just spent a good ten minutes on the Thingy before I selected that.

I was about 10 pages behind this thread so was convinced we had a poster and my twitter notifications for the festival had failed me.

You all have a lot to answer for.

Will add you on. I don't update it every day or it would just be a thread of dates and usernames, there's a few additions that aren't showing on it yet including Neils pessimistic April 3rd

The irony in you cutting and pasting that. A fitting tribute.

Great minds, Sas. Apparently, if we win we get to see the lineup an hour before everyone else.

And this way I only have to share my beer with one other person! 😛

@a6l6e6x - I hope Neil isn't right!! Right now I think we're all dealing with the nervous anticipation quite well, but imagine late March if we hadn't heard anything at all??? There would be conspiracy theories about coronavirus all over the shop

I am entering a digital blackout from tomorrow through February 27 so I am rooting against these super early poster drop predictions at least for the next week. 

But March 3rd? First Tuesday in March? That super-early drop feels good!

Had a dream Kid Cudi self confirmed and The Who played a secret set at JP.  Thanks for reading.

Still expecting an announcement this week (probably only going to disappoint myself but I can hope)!

I’d be absolutely thrilled if Cudi was there. I’m not sure he’s ever properly done a UK tour since he was supporting Kanye back in the MOTM days. I was lucky enough to see him there alongside Santigold, Mr Hudson and Consequence.

Sadly, I can’t ever see him play Glastonbury. He’s one of those rappers that seems far more interested in a US audience. I go to the US for work occasionally, so will put some effort in to lining up my dates with a show next time.

9am it is then.

Yes, but every hour.

The dedication in this thread is remarkable. Not even a suggestion of an announcement for a few weeks and there's about 10 new pages of posts a day. Impressive.

I just wish I could stop looking at this thread.
