It's not impossible from the midwest, but I'd be surprised. Be an overnight flight after their set on the 15th and play in London the afternoon after they land.
Then again, it could easily have been part of the deal when they agreed to support 5SOS that they'll have this date off, and even that their transport home and back is paid for. Quite a lot of effort for a one day festival, but who knows!
Think with the two stages you have to pick which one you prefer, go with that and accept you won’t get a good spot for the next act/miss a couple of songs of the previous. I’ll be leaving Blossoms early today for a good spot for Wolf Alice, no doubt about that.
To be fair, there’s always been clashes with the NME tent so changing it back won’t change that!
If they’re actually announcing them tonight then they are not exactly secret sets are they? When the likes of BMTH, Foals and Jamie T did it a few years ago there were hints, but nothing actually confirmed until an hour or two before. I’m seeing the likes of Jake Bugg and Sherlocks as replacements for acts that have pulled out rather than genuine secret sets
I went for a wander along the river in Reading on Sunday and it looked like they’d added a second checkpoint further east from the green entrance. Looked like they’ll do the covid check first before the normal ticket queue, which would be consistent with the couple of gigs I’ve been to lately
