2020 Next Announcement Thread!

[Chrisp1986]

Eavii: you do not need panic, yes Coachella was postponed today but Glastonbury will go ahead and herd is the proof, the poster.

[Wellyboot]

I've picked Thursday but I'm on a work course today 10 - 4 and wont be able to check my phone so hope you're all excited for the poster today at 10am x

I'll catch up at 4 I suppose

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..

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.

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

They did give an official response and i dont think anything has changed so they would just be saying the same thing again.

 

“Glastonbury Festival thoroughly plans each year’s event, and puts in place all necessary measures to protect the public and maximise safety,” says Adrian Coombs, Glastonbury Festival’s Head of Event Operations.

“We work closely with all of the relevant agencies, including Public Health England and the NHS, and always review our plans as any circumstances change. 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

Let’s go.

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!

finally, sense prevails

No Gwen for Glasto then?!   "Gwen Stefani joins Duran Duran at Hyde Park as a UK exclusive for 2020."

[The Nal]

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.

[jparx]

BST announcing as normal. Another reason to think Glastonbury won't be delaying announcements, at least not drastically.

Duran Duran / Gwen Stefani and Chic - thats so cheesey its tempting

god dammit

[drunk pumpkin]

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  )

If it wasn’t the night of the Euro 2020 final I’d be tempted.

Maybe it'll be delayed/cancelled considering it's hosted all over europe this year.

I though DD were exclusive at IOW? Does this put them back in the frame for a slot?

God knows where they would go mind...

Get them on pyramid after D.Ross

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

Isle of Wight DO still have Duran Duran down as a UK festival exclusive on their website.

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" 😂
