Doug85 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Just now, eFestivals said: Actually, what I heard is pretty definite that there's a Glasto announcement today. I can't guarantee it's about bands but everything about it looks like it is. That makes me slightly concerned it may just be a statement of some sort. Hopefully it's ok and it's a defiant message of we are going ahead and here is out lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett_Salas Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 would be quite funny if they posted a blank poster with "glastonbury is cancelled" in small font at the bottom. Heartbreaking, but still funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetaKate Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 K just so everyone knows, the Glastonbury is cancelled announcement HAS BEEN CANCELLED. Impending actual lineup announcement DEFINITELY HAPPENING and there is no need for discussion otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmb1992 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 This thread is a roller coaster... do we think we're getting something today? Also after this announcement do we get to give dates for the next announcement? I want to be back in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they will. You can only relay what you have been told. Might be sensible to wait until after the Cobra meeting. Would be silly to announce a lineup at 8am and then cancel the festival in the afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Do we think there'd be an accompanying statement with the poster, stating business as usual, in consultation with the relevant authorities, etc? A calmly worded note might help soothe some seriously frayed nerves, if only on a temporary basis while this situation peaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackDoesDrawing Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Apologies if this has been mentioned already, but didn't Emily say the next announcement would be the poster? Doesn't bode well for today's announcement if it isn't going to be the full thing...although I suppose given the circumstances they might have been forced to change their plans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deaf Nobby Burton Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) Glastonbury is either cancelled or not cancelled, at the moment it’s not cancelled. Its such a big undertaking along with all the other hundreds, if not thousands of individual events that are scheduled over our summer. Our government isn’t perfect, bit IF the lineup drops today then I’d be confident it would be off the back of consultation with the government that it will be ok to go ahead in June. We are no doubt heading for a period of social distancing and cancellation of similar events, but there is no way in hell that can or will last for three and a half months.
