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.

      I'm surprised they risked it, especially after nearly missing their Glasto 22 slot under similar circumstances  I did see someome say Ellie didnt sound as strong as recently but I'm guessing playing 3 shows in 2 different continents doesnt help that    On the topic though I can definitely see them doing a Fontaines and having a break over winter before a few final Clearing shows next summer

      That's fair on WA - I did recall people thinking Fontaines would take this year off before this was announced.    On the subject of Wolf Alice, they did Lollapalooza in Chicago on Saturday then Kendal Calling last night. Bit of an odd choice, no? Half imagine at Kendal that they would've been just exhausted.

      Victorious Festival 2026

      By eatingglitter · Posted

      Just logged onto the app to start planning my days and there really are a LOT of stages missing. Apart from the Seaside Stage there is no Casemates this year etc. Apart from the Seaside Stage, there are no Casemates this year, etc. Can't see anything about the kids field really. And there's local acts that are normally there like Kojak's Revenge that aren't appearing either.  Normally we get down fairly early but I can't see anything before 3pm I'm keen to see. Only one real clash as well, which is good, but it's thin and it's not thin in the sense of "I've seen a lot of these acts before"
