First poster release date sweepstake 2025

[giantkatestacks]

It is often while I am away somewhere unsuitable on Easter hols so on that basis I am going Tues 8th April as I will be between flights with no idea what time it is or where I am.

[Fred Zepplin]

I'm down for jury service next week so probably 10am on the 7th March so I can't see it till I've finished

You paint a great image of yourself sitting in a cubicle with your pyramid hat just on view above the door, desperately scanning the poster on your phone, shouting yeesss when you see a band you like😊😉😊

Not a date prediction but if they do not put the poster up and then reveal it one square at a time over the next few days like the final round of Catchphrase then its a missed opportunity - thats all im saying

Then it would put us out of our misery speculating who might be a headliner.

 

Although some would argue that's part of the fun.

How does it actually work, the poster release...

 

Do they notify the news and social media outlets prior and that's how we get an idea?

[CaledonianGonzo]

The BBC and the Guardian definitely get an embargoed press release so staff there know it's coming and it sometimes word gets out.

[Someoni]

We need a little insider info

Humans Of Techno have had a go lol - sadly this poster wasn't obviously fake enough despite being created by a satire page - people are already kicking of lol.

Is that even the right BBC logo these days?

Not sure -  Im pretty sure this comes from that app that turns your Spotify listening into a festival line up - the dropping a few sponsors on top of 

[Crazyfool01]

Still thinking next week seems likely

I mean, it would put it out of our misery. How long did the headliners thread get last year?

Yeah, a couple of outlets find out so they can get their stories ready but then prob 2 mins before it drops theyll get the info so they can just insert key names into their story and thats that. pretty common. Its just smaller events give you the whole thing like a full day early and with Glasto it would be a big no no to do that cause somebody could get that out.

 

Its not like we wont know its coming. I give it 10 days.
