nban2010 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 I don't think we'll be getting an announcement until another couple weeks - they'll be holding out to see what the asitch is with Covid-19 and if they need to delay/cancel before getting everyone excited about a line-up - they'll only reveal that if they're certain it will go ahead.

Nah, cos they can't be certain it'll be going ahead until the gates open. As the announcement date is around the same sort of time as the UK is expected to switch to new measures they might hold back to see what those are - but I can't really see them holding anything back for more than a week or two from the dates they've planned, as the possibility of cancellation is always going to be there at whatever point they announce..

jparx Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 I think we'll get the lineup around the usual time, with a short statement reiterating that they are preparing as normal for the festival, monitoring the situation and working with the local council to make sure provisions are in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you expect any kind of statement in the near future or with the poster/resale? Even just an acknowledgement of the situation, with a reminders it’s out of there hands but currently going ahead at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With this in mind and with our 2020 Festival still 16 weeks away, we continue to plan and prepare for the event, whilst at the same time closely monitoring developments with the coronavirus situation.” Poster is coming tomorrow BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk of coronavirus is slowly leaning into every thread on this site (which I completely understand given the situation) we need a poster drop to rekindle everyone’s optimism!

The Nal Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 105 days away. Work to begin in earnest in the next few weeks. They need to make a call soon. The next announcement is going to be the cancellation of the festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparx Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 BST announcing as normal. Another reason to think Glastonbury won't be delaying announcements, at least not drastically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drunk pumpkin Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 not sure if its been suggested before (apologies if its already been debated) but do we think there is any chance they may delay the balance payment date by a few weeks. If they need to cancel it may make the process earlier. (not that they are cancelling ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DareToDibble Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 I love how many predictions there are for the next few days. Just shows we all hang on Emily’s every word and people have fallen for her “Poster will be with you very soon” line. Suckers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they gonna argue BST isn't a festival it's a concert, or something? Maybe they mean it as "they're not playing Glastonbury" 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
