    Ah OK. I think theyre still very much in inflation and cost-of-living-crisis mode this year too though.

    I think you'll be surprised. Obviously i don't know all of the ins and outs, but i don't think they are cutting any corners this year, and want to make it bigger and better.

    It’s not Pulp.

    Nick tweeted to say he knew nothing about the rumoured reunion last year, so I’m not sure you can 100% rule them out because of that tweet

    Just out of interest why do you feel the need to do this at all?

    Wouldn't be even more fun/exciting if "secret sets" were actually secret

    In this day and age, secret sets are never secret, so we just thought it would be a good way to try and help fans of acts get an early heads up to try and get to see them.

    Have the Secret Glasto team got volunteers running it this year?

    I think we are sorted. I'm not running it for the first time in 3 festivals as i'll be in Ibiza for a wedding, but we have a new volunteer, and we will all chip in as and when we need to.

     

    Just to echo what @august1 was saying above. We take the health and safety side of things very seriously and usually tweet a more cryptic clue earlier in the day to allow fans of the act to get an early heads up. we follow that with a confirmation which is usually so close to stage time that if you aren't close to the area you would struggle to get there. As mentioned, we didn't tweet about Paulo Nutini last year, as could see the issues it would cause.

    It was basically the storyline, each area could be completed and you'd be awarded a card for doing so. You have to talk to the actors to try and piece together what's going on. I only completed one area as it can only be done during the day and I was struggling with the heat too much to walk around all day

    Personally I think it's too confusing and it should be a bit clearer as to what is happening/what you need to do

    Yeah, it's basically a secret storyline/mission that you have to interact with the actors over. You can end up in some weird and wonderful places that aren't usually accessible unless you have completed the earlier tasks you are given.

    I’m bringing a water gun this year

    I had my two young sons on site this year for Saturday afternoon, and we had a push buggy for them to make getting around easier. They both had little water guns, and i had to explain to them that today is the only day that you can go and spray adults with water guns and get away with it! 😁

    definitely could still do it

    not sure they'd want to spend so much money on him though vs a lot of other options

    This is my point. The same thing happened around an electronic duo who have become very big in recent years. There comes a point where Boomtown have to think do we really want to blow a lot of our budget on one act. 

    Suppose the small caveat on this is we don't know how the live nation thing will pan out. I have no idea if that will make the budget bigger, or if it will make touring artists more likely to perform at Boomtown

    Looks like Finsbury and most of the other dates have sold out now.

    Sold out pretty quickly for a band that a lot regard as one that aren’t big enough to Headline Glastonbury these days

    In terms of setlist I'd expect it be mainly taken from His n Hers and Different Class with the big hitters from This Is Hardcore and maybe the odd We Love Life and/or pre HnH song thrown in.

    This is what i'm expecting. Similar to the last reunion. Although I did wonder if it might be more This Is Hardcore heavy as they seem to be pushing the fact it's the 25 year anniversary in some of the announcements.

    Is it too early to do dream setlists? 😁

    I cant fathom how anyone enjoyed that weather. I spent all of the Friday in the shade and still managed to get heatstroke. Most of the indoor venues were too hot to stay in, couldnt do any storyline.

    This has taken some thinking... but I would genuinely have preferred rain for 4 days straight.

    I kind of agree with you. I spent the Friday and Saturday just chasing shade and longing for the sun to go down. I also found that everyone seemed shattered by 4am, which usually isn't the case. I think the same weather but mid 20's rather than mid 30's would be perfect.
