LAWKS! It's the next announcement thread

[BlueDaze]

Isn’t it about we had another Headliner announcement..!!??

👀

Im fairness to Elton his ‘fairwell tour’ is 350+ dates and has been going on for years, it’s a bloody long tour but it’s the same one. He’s 75 so it’s not like he can repeat that again. No doubt he’ll do the odd show, but it’s highly unlikely he does another tour.

Hence Final Tour.

First time experiencing an announcement as someone without a ticket, and it's like sticking pins in your eyes (I'm not particularly into EJ)

If/when they drop AM, that is going to be one dark dark day

Hate to say it, but start prepping for it now

That's nothing, just wait until they announce some good acts.

yeah you can. You've overcome your compulsion to declare almost almost every act that is mentioned on here shit. This is the next step

I’m not really into AM either. For me they’re the least exciting of every rumour so far. I like a couple of their more mainstream songs but generally find most of their work to be a bit soulless and boring. 
 

Looks like a done deal though, so would be a good night for me to be elsewhere. Although, whilst I think they’ll definitely be popular, I’m guessing lots of others, who either aren’t into them, or more likely, have seen them several times before, will be having the same idea r.e being somewhere else.

What's the shortest time between two standalone headliner announcements? Getting (unfairly) impatient already

This has all the info you need. There has been as little as a week but that's usually after Christmas when the announcements can come thick and fast.

You’ve moved from the ‘I don’t care who is playing as long as I get a ticket’ phase to ‘I wonder who is playing phase.’  Soon after follows the clash nightmare phase.

Clash nightmare phase also known as massive Glastobating giddiness phase. Love that phase.

ANd of course  the "obsessive checking of weather forecasts in the Pilton Area" phase

that news is from the night before, that's just a good-ish write-up of what i'd reported the previous evening.

Always worth a read. Did the villager who claimed the festival was offensive to Muslims explain why?
