She seemed like she was gagging to say more about it.

Why would Zoe Ball know though?

Radio 2 djs seem to be best mates of the Eavis family. It’s always them lot who let it slip.

Because she’s the breakfast show host of the BBC’s biggest radio station...

[kalifire]

What does she whisper very quickly after saying it's possible today? I can't make it out.

Any chance of a transcript for those pretending to work?

My unqualified opinion is that they're announcing slightly earlier than they had planned to, because WHO declared a pandemic, triggering the government into the next phase which will put social distancing and potential mass gathering cancellations back in the news, just a little too close to balance payment week for comfort.

So they're jumping the gun to get the message out that they intend to hold it, pending any government decision not to, before the headlines turn too dire and potentially put ticket sales in doubt (which seems extraordinary, but isn't beyond the realms of possibility).

I'd be surprised if any poster didn't come attached to a statement assuring people of all the usual stuff.

You may well be right, I’m just guessing myself. It may also be that I’m very naive, but I just can’t see how this wouldn’t a coordinated response... I’ve no basis for this but I would assume not just Glastonbury, but people in charge of all events scheduled would’ve been on at the government for a bit of guidance. Glastonbury would probably be the least affected by this, but there must be events that could be completely crippled either way, do they plough on? Do they cut their losses?

Again I might be very naive in my thinking, but I find it hard to imagine the government would just completely ignore any such enquires. My completely unqualified opinion is that they have plan which was always going to happen when the case numbers hit a certain level, that will be implemented for a certain period of time all based on their in depth modelling. I think behind the scenes events like Glastonbury will have been involved, some will have been told they won’t be going ahead and some will be told they are fine.

I just can’t see Glastonbury dropping the poster on the same day the Government switch to the delay stage without some prior consultation.

Sit back and enjoy it.

I've never seen them in the same room

[priest17]

Dyou think the eavises are frantically refreshing the ePolitics.com forum for leaks about the cobra meeting this afternoon? Surely that's what they're waiting for at this point.

[Matt42]

Efestivals and Zoe ball both hinting is enough to convince me it’s coming. Two pretty strong sources.

When... fuck knows. I guess all I can say right now is

 

7pm x 

 

or.. well 

 

whenever x

[chazwwe]

Really need this to get my mind off it all. Been in a bit of a state the past 12 hours.
