I also decided to WFH today because I have the mildest of mild sore throats but didn't want to get frowned on by my colleagues. Normally I HATE WFH, but today it seems like an excellent choice

Didn’t read it like that. Just that he hasn’t heard confirmation yet. No contrary information. 

[ticketboy69]

That was exciting...a wonderful opportunity to take our minds of Coronavirus for a few minutes!

I'm also WFH today as I recently got laid off and dont have another option 😂 I am working though its just all contract work.

I cant see how a large scale event can possibly announce at the moment

[squirrelarmy]

It’s probably best not to announce it right now in the middle of global panic. There would be likely to be huge social media outrage if Glastonbury tried to carry on as normal. 
 

The signs say that the poster is ready but they are waiting for the right time to announce it so it doesn’t cause a media shitstorm.

No way they can make that call yet. I work in critical care in NHS. If this gets bad it won’t be fixed by June. 

Of course it won’t be fixed by June, but equally lockdown measures can only be implemented for a certain period, if they go on indefinitely the country and the economy collapse. If they release the poster today I’d be fairly certain it will be off the back of conversations with the government confirming the point that social distancing will end.

Agreed. It’s BAU until they’re told otherwise. That includes all the usual activities - starting the build, dropping the poster, paying balances...

Yes although it would be wise to hold BAU until as late as possible. In 2 weeks we will know a lot more. I am surprised for such an early potential announcement. 

[Chrisp1986]

Meh

I'm expecting the announcement to include a comment of " we are still working and planning as if it's going ahead, whilst closely following advice of Public Health England" 

[Jakeyboi135]

Obviously it's tomorrow, hence why Neil can't turn up the volume. Where can I collect my prize?

Other festivals are announcing. BST dropped one last week without too much outrage.
