If you don’t need to “reveal your source” why bother posting in the first place? Honestly just pathetic trolling/attention seeking. 

When I turn out to be correct later on will you come and say sorry? This isn't a troll I just wanted to share the news.

I don't need to reveal my source, but as sad as it makes me right now, it is a good source. Feel free to slate me and my reputation right now, but do please come back to me to take back your criticism if I turn out to be correct.

So on the same day Neil had word more than one act would be confirmed, thereby assuming the poster could well be on the way, you had word it’s cancelled. I know which one I’m more likely to believe.. 🤔

I’m on a 1400-2300, and can only check my phone every now and then if it’s not busy, so this is horrendous for me if it doesn’t come before 1230, would’ve made my train journey in much more interesting listening to people I know are playing.

Maybe share it in the Corona thread if you must? I believe this thread is about artist announcements.

If you’re correct I will. But my point still stands, why bother unless you actually can provide evidence? I’m sorry but that’s why you’re getting a lot of grief here. Unsubstantiated and uncalled for really, if that’s to be the announcement later then just let it happen. There’s really no need to be “first”.

[gmb1992]

I reckon it will be after the COBRA meeting, in a sort of "Keep Calm" kind of way.

As much as I hate all the Corona bollocks, I have to say this thread seems to be about the next announcement, of any kind...

But, yeh - fuck him.

First post in a year at the prone of nothing, no past history of having any sort of prediction regarding this, no source and it goes against what 2 trusted sources are saying. 

Nice.

With the announcement that all schools, third-level education and public facilities are due to close in Ireland - along with recommending cancellation of events of over 100 - as of 6pm today and Boris presumably making a similar announcement later today..

 

.. I don't see as announcement on the cards today unortunately.. and if there is, it's gonna be baaaaaad news!

Shite!

Again, I would be very surprised if Bearded Theory who just announced this morning that everything is still going ahead that it then turns around and gets cancelled a few hours later.

Events and schools wont be stopped for 3 months. 

It'll be a 2 week-4 week stop at most. 

[Divein]

How can the festival come out with a cancellation notice when there’s been no official comms from the government to in regards to the delay phase? 
 

At the minute they are probably in the dark as much as everyone else.

Agree with this, perhaps with regular review.

They aren't going to cancel Christmas while they're at it.

Anyway, back to the anouncements. 

How big of a poster are we thinking? Smallish one like last year or a bigger one like normal? I'm hoping for a nice chunk of 70 acts with a surprise or two in there.. 

Whats everyones biggest hope they see on the poster to get them excited mine has to be Billie EIlish.

All squid are damp, they live in the ocean, maybe you're thinking of squib?

I think Rob is more likely to be right than wrong, time will tell.

I'm aware.. it's only in place in Ireland until March 29th.

I'm just saying that I'd say they're unlikely to announce the lineup on a day where that news has surfaced.

In my opinion, they're potentially more likely to reschedule that cancel if it comes to it, but how that'll affect performers is another thing.

I want some hidden gems that we haven't already thought of lower down the list!

I feel like it's extremely unlikely but an IDLES announcement would make me very happy
