2020 Next Announcement Thread!

I really want the poster to be announced. You guys are right in saying that we need positive news especially for the summer.  
 

What I’m afraid of is too much negative social media and pressure being put on GFL to cancel. Coachella was getting petitioned to cancel which forced the organisers hands. The last thing I want to happen is Glastonbury to appear on the SJW’s radar. 
 

It’s a giant game of whack-a-mole and right now is not time to be sticking your head out of the ground.

OK ....

So I've heard there's a bands announcement today - what I was told suggests the big poster (but it might not be) - and that info should be good. I'm pretty confident in it, but it doesn't have a time for it.

I'm normally able to verify a tip like that and perhaps get the time but I've not been able to do either on this occasion, unfortunately.

I wonder if we’ve got another situation like 2014 where they are throwing together a poster and calling acts to see who they have permission to announce.

It’l drop when they are done.

The absolute balls on Glastonbury dropping something on a day when the public are going to go mental about the government moving on to the next stage of dealing with Covid. 

Comments on social media will be a joy. Can't expect the world to stop for the next 3 months though. Deal with it now and we will be partying in June.

On what scale will the social media meltdown be for Kendrick Lamar, I'm expecting worse then the Swift one from the we only want oasis and the Arctic monkeys group

Pretty high cause he is black. Along with “who is Kendrick Lamar?”

 

Girlfriend has already made the blood sacrifice to the concert gods for missing Snow Patrol in October for Coachella, so this all has to go right for June.

They didn’t listen to the petition to cancel Jay-Z as headliner, they certainly aren’t going to listen to a petition to cancel the festival!

Maybe they will wait until after the govt announcement later today as to what will happen next?

I can get behind this. Let the government set out their plans then add some positivity. Right now everything in the media is focusing on cancellations and lockdowns.

    • I am very possibly wrong about this but I do think that the pitch you get allocated appears to be related to your time of arrival, (i.e. you get the next one available) rather than the price you paid for a small, medium or large pitch.  They all appear to be the same size to me.

    • Liddle: "Drop a small nuclear bomb on Glastonbury to immediately remove from our country almost everybody who is hugely annoying.”   Farage: Free speech!    Polanski: accepts a collaboration on 20 innocuous looking set of photos on instagram but doesn't notice that one that says 'making plans for Nigel' with a guillotine image.   Farage: I expect the MET police to arrest him.
    • I take my lad to the local non-league club - Royston Town - not he's 13, he goes there with his mates and he plays in their youth team.  Not many people there - lucky if they hit 800, but lovely supporting the town team.  I've took him to some league clubs too - Cambridge and Stevenage are great to visit and not crazy prices - his first one was Cambridge v Sunderland (I'm a mackem) when they were in league 1, so a great experience for him.  The England matches aren't too bad value either at Wembley - it's just the parking that stings you. Problem is, he's a City fan, so at some point have to bite the bullet and get him up to the Ethiad. Have done the tour, but he'd love a proper game....my wallet, less so!
    • Said it before, but if Annie Lennox is available next year, then it would be an absolute crime to instead book anyone else. She's rare and legendary enough that you drop all other plans.
