Are they gonna argue BST isn't a festival it's a concert, or something?

Maybe they mean it as "they're not playing Glastonbury" 😂

I remember a few years ago rhcp were announced for reading festival as a European exclusive, by the time of the festival they were a South of England exclusive. Was quite laughable

Just had word that the announcement is infact what we feared, its likely to be a cancellation notice to come.

I can't wait for you all to apologise to me when the postponement/cancellation announcement is finally made.

someone posted that the IoW exclusive thing was a bit of an issue in getting them booked, so I guess they came to an agreement of some sort (and I guess ioW sales are somewhere around what they'd hope for at this point).

It's unlikely they're available for further shows unless IoW agree.

Haha. "We promise it's their only show in Berkshire"

generally claims of exclusivity turn out to be true. For the occasions that they don't it's probably mostly because the plans of the band change (and the place that has exclusivity wants to keep good relations with the band).

Having been sat here for 20 years seeing these claims go past I'm not thinking there's any deliberate piss-taking going on with exclusive claims by festivals.

Have seen plenty of exclusives be true so didn't think otherwise, just thought it was quite a funny step down

I love how many predictions there are for the next few days. Just shows we all hang on Emily’s every word and people have fallen for her “Poster will be with you very soon” line.

Suckers ;) 

I'd love a 6 part Netflix series so we can go back and see what was going on behind the scenes and why things were announced on certain days or delayed!

I wouldn't be surprised if they log on at tea break to see what we all went crazy and overanalysed each day

Well I believe Emily does read these forums so I wouldn’t be surprised if she sits there laughing at how we assess every little comment she makes and what it could possible mean :lol:

Thanks for the upvote @Freddyflintstonree - it appears we have a troll downvoting all my posts 🙄

No worries...seemed a bit harsh so thought i'd even it up. No idea if it works like that...

 

Anyway, today was my prediction for the poster, and that seems to be rapidly becoming less likely. What's the latest it's ever dropped before?

We should definitely get a double announcement to make up for January.

      Interesting to read. It's mostly why we stopped going a few years back even though it's the nearest big festival to home. The post-exams timing and location makes it a rites of passage first festival for people in a big area. Understandably that leads to a bit of giddiness. Think lineup would need to be a lot more my cup of tea to be enticed back. Friends who are there are having a good time tho and no rain is a good thing for up there.

      I honestly didn't know it had, I still thought it was where the view overlooked the lake and view.   I think my decision not to attend this year at least was justified. Biffy was the big draw but after Finsbury I knew they wouldn't play what I want to hear again and well work also got in the way. Believed interesting to hear if Libertines were any good as they were also a pull but Sunday did nothing for me really with all my acts on Friday and Saturday.
