Yep, however.... it has been getting a little earlier over the years... last year was the earliest yet I think, on 15th March...

They should be really nice and release it end of Feb this year I think  

I’d love it but I’m not holding out much hope. It’s very much in Glastonbury’s character to let everyone forget about them, let the other festivals sell their tickets, then remind them that they still exist.

Remember it has to get really really really quiet before it gets loud again. That’s just the Glastonbury way.

Think we'll get kendrick added this month. Can feel it in my loins

Woke up thinking today was NME Awards day and we might get something later. Now I realise it’s next week. DAMMIT.

Started reading your post and could only picture this.

Having floated the idea of Emily giving us some names at the NME awards i'm buzzing at the thought she is equally as likely to use her acceptance speech to tell us about how many extra long drops or water refill stations have been installed for this year.

But having said that anyone want to guess on the female artists names she may give us which haven't been confirmed yet?

The first paragraph will excite some almost as much as the lineup drop

Last night I actually had a dream wherein a european festival lineup was announced that included Lana Del Rey even though it was the same weekend she is supposed to be at Bonnaroo. Then I kept trying to google Bonnaroo but I kept spelling it wrong and no results would come up.

That was it. That was the dream.

From this I can summise that 1) my subconscious really, really wants LDR at Glasto even though it is looking hella unlikely 2) I am spending too much time here and thinking about this stuff and 3) we are greatly in need of an announcement. 

I had similar dream in the build up to ticket day, except I was spelling Glastonbury wrong and couldn't get onto the sale page 😅

[Wellyboot]

I rekon we'll get something by the end of Feb

 

(I know nowt, just wishful thinking cos I'm SO excited!!)

[AlexOvd]

I can fucking wait for the poster. March, come to us please.

Nah, I couldn't be dealing with that. I generally know so few people in the line-up, I need that April-June period to do my research.

This is what I really think but part of me would appreciate the chaos.

I've found loads of acts I love from listening to them prior to Glastonbury and other festivals.

[Wellyboot]

I think I like the idea of it, but really I love to plan too much so I'd hate it

[Fish Bulb]

As long as there's an announcement that there's not going to be an announcement.

[Matt42]

I’m gonna say March because we are getting through feb and I think Kendrick needs a bit more time to sell his dates.

I reckon we might get the poster drop earlier than usual in March... but it will still be March.

I can’t believe we are nearly at that time again!

Lineup on 24th of June, let's go!

I can!! It's been a loooong time coming for me after missing out on tickets last year, and the fallow in '18 it cant come round quick enough for me!

Can anyone remember why 2002 was so late? or was it just a case of that was the first time it'd been officially released beforehand? I went in 2002 but like most Glastonbury memories from back then, its all a bit hazy...

They didn’t have a license for the festival until quite late.

Back in those days, a lot of it was tied in with the print deadlines & street date of whichever music publication they were partnered with at the time - I'm not sure but in 2002 I guess it would either be Select or Q.

In 2002 specifically, I think they also had to keep one of the headliners (Stereophonics) secret until the gates opened because of some form of exclusivity agreement at V Festival.

Nah, they had the licence in January.

I'm pretty sure it's because Michael had made a bet with himself that he could sell out the festival without announcing an act.

Imagine the torture.

I’ve always wondered if I’d love or hate for them to announce absolutely nobody. You don’t find out who’s playing until you get through the gates and get your lanyard/programme.

That would definitely help the resale team

This would be insane but it's kind of fun 😂

Somewhere, @bennyhana22 has felt a great disturbance in the force at the barest mention of this idea.
