I just think they'll want to maximise the book sales right now and not take any attention away from that. That said, there might be a couple of minor reveals during the book tour. Minor like Taylor Swift headlining Sunday and playing 1989 in full? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't a headliner announcement contribute to promoting the book though? My thought is the media won't be too bothered about announcing the book is out today, but if a headliner is announced they'd be all over it and also throw in that this announcement coincides with the release of the new book.

Totally agree. Might not happen today, but I do think announcing something actually helps promote the book. "Emily Eavis was at an event to mark the launch of the Glastonbury 50 book when it as revealed..." Etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyfool01 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 There is too much Glastonbury 50 stuff going on over the next few days for no information to get out ... we should get something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparx Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 So Emily is with Jo this afternoon, then the event tonight with Ed, Mary etc? We must get at least a vague hint from these, surely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyT Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Given this statement from the website there might be a campervan / worthy view announcement to come today... Quote Campervan tickets for 2020 will cost £125 for a standard pitch or £225 for a large pitch. Further information about booking campervan/caravan tickets will be released, alongside Worthy View accommodation information, later in October.

priest17 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 The book is getting some press though from excerpts being in the paper and such, if they wait to have another announcement further down the line that's another bout of free publicity for the book when people have forgotten about it.

Yeah, I guess so. That's a fair point. I would just imagine they wouldn't want anything to distract people from buying the book, that's all. Maybe it wouldn't? As someone has said below, there are so many events happening over the next week or so, something might leak out at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 so is this afternoons info a precursor to anything to come in the near future .... a bit like the warmup act before the headliner ... cant see anything on the webcam ... its a grey and drizzly evening ...
