As you can see above and below, the LHC is doing great. It is collecting data at an unprecedented rate and has long surpassed last year's batch. The question is now, are there discoveries in this summer's data? The next big conference with official announcements is ICHEP2016 which will start August 3rd. If there are startling discoveries, there will likely be a seminar scheduled at CERN before that.
So far, the rumours don't indicate any surprises, which is a bummer, especially since everyone was hoping that the slight excess seen in last year's data might hint at a new heavy particle, which would revolutionize the field
