JoeyT Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Fairly certain that Neil had wind of something the night before last year and tweeted half the usual "stand by your beds" or something else to suggest it was imminent?

Without spilling, I think Neil gets a heads up from a contact in the guardian when it’s on its way. (Neil feel free to tell me to delete this if this is something secret).

Metallica signed the dotted line in Feb and they were waiting to get them in the bag before releasing anything. Obviously they couldn’t announce them so they had to generate a poster with “special guests”. This is actually offensive to my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack.194 Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Just had a look at the Thingy The main poster announcement is gradually getting early, from 2010 onwards the dates are - 14.04 - 14.04 - 27.03 - 04.04 - 14.04 - 29.03 - 30.03 - 15.03 - ? - and obviously last year was the earliest ever. This year there were two headliners announced by 15.12 - almost two months earlier than the previous earliest (08.02) in 2008. While I understand there is no pattern - taking into account all this info along with the fact that it’s the 50th and we already realistically have the third headliner, I can’t see it being much longer until the first poster drops.

He didn’t mention when it was getting announced but the fact that it’s all ready and management have seen it is a good sign right? Nah this is making me too excited now.

JoeyT Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 I'd plump for a morning announcement so if it's going to be this week then it's probably better to focus on tomorrow than today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawrsomesauce Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Absolutely no idea where I was for the drops in 14, 15, & 16. However, for both 17 & 19 I was at the bus stop waiting for my bus to work. Clearly I'm going to need to take the bus instead of the train tomorrow. Just to be safe.

august1 Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 There's going to be an FA cup style draw on the One show. A big bag of numbered balls which have no meaning and will be drawn out and announced 'and its number 14 Aerosmith who will be playing the Pyramid stage' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So make of this what you will but, essentially, I spoke to someone last night (a good friend, very nice person who I couldn't really see lying about something like this) who is mates with a couple of the guys who play for Rex Orange County... They said that they'd been shown the poster from the guys. They confirmed it was Kendrick (not that we didn't already know that) and they also named Dua Lipa and The Strokes as playing. Could be complete bullshit, could have just been shown a fake poster and been confused (I didn't think artists were actually sent the poster to be honest), but I thought it was worth mentioning to get people hyped up for poster day. 1 hour ago, Brad2434 said: Just adding to this, I know when I mentioned my mate had seen the poster and a lot of people said they thought the Eavi were the only people to see it until release day, I spoke to someone else I know yesterday who I know is 100% credible and works close with the festival (he’s got a lot of my close mates into the festival on artists bands that get handed back a couple weeks before the fest) and said he’s also seen the poster in the past week and that it definitely needs to be sent to management of artists for approval, hence why there’s a few people saying they’ve seen it now.
