The Tolkien Society today released additional information for Tolkien2019, including the Guest Speakers, the full slate of presenters, and the evening activities for the August gathering in Birmingham.
Tuesday: Bacchus Bar (unofficial social gathering at the Hotel bar)
Wednesday: Leaf By Niggle by the Puppet State Theatre Company
Thursday: Tolkien Inspired Music by the People's Orchestra
Friday: Banquet, followed by Ceilidh dance
Saturday: Masquerade and party
Over 90 additional presentations will be made over the five days by a great list of people (too long to reproduce here, the TS has the full list available including paper titles.)
For anyone who is thinking of attending and not heard of Leaf by Niggle by the Puppet State Theatre, then please watch this, so pleased that I can see this excellent performance again
Four (or five if you count the kaffe klatches) tracks! Already sad to be deciding which of many choices I will have to skip in order to see other things, but excited in any event! And (so far, two panels unannounced) not going to have to miss any must-see presentations when I am up.

The one advantage of being in the upside-down hemisphere is that the only choice is to miss ALL must-see presentations...
