stuartbert two hats

19th June

Absolutely loads of time. It's still ages off.

Weather wise, every year I've ever been to was. That includes 97,98,05 + 16. And 10, 17+19 if we're going to include hot ones.

He's bound to turn up at some of the smaller ones. Didn't he exchange tweets with Babylon Uprising, or was that someone else?

Is it likely to stay secret, or are they going to be announced in due course?

I've not read every page of this thread, but it seems to be just people guessing? Does anyone have anything firm as yet?

That was my thinking. It's just the wind.

Fair play to Graham, actively touring with two bands simultaneously. When I saw Waeve on Jools, I assumed it had been recorded ages ago or was an old episode, but he's actually doing them both at once?

Not if who is playing is a secret. Then it would be a "secret set" The Libertines in 2015 was a secret set. Just because nobody would have batted an eyelid if the were billed to play that slot, doesn't mean it wasn't a secret set.

It's a good job we only do sets, not guest appearances.

I had absolutely no idea it was going to happen and not did anyone I was with. Mad that it was in a newspaper article, yet word still didn't get around.

I can understand wanting to do away with the fuckers distributing spoilers though.

They used to have the links, but they were just anchor tags that took you to a specific part of the page didn't they? You could click links, scroll, or search for text in the page. This is a significant step back IMHO.

The replies from people who managed not to miss out on their favourite band, so hot footed across the site to see them. Yes, not as big a surprise as if they'd been on front of the stage, but still not something they knew about that morning - and they actually got to see them. I'm heavily conflicted about the whole thing, always have been, but when you read those replies from overjoyed fans, it makes it worthwhile.

Bastille have also played WG "in secret" twice.

Horses for courses, there's sod all I want to see on there, but three or four on this year's which may be a record for that stage, at least this century.

I was listening to that Badly Drawn Boy set in the queue for my first pair of hats.

Not usually. Apparently The Stones did and McCartney did in 2004, but in general it's the festival's business.

One day 😉 I was trying to think of a witty way to drop in this line, but I can't so I'll just quote it "So ahead of my time, I wasn't born in the past" Fucking love that line!

Johnny Marr and his lawyers would beg to differ. So would someone else, but we don't talk about him anymore.

Actually I'm sure I've seen loads of Park subs in the dark. Doesn't the sun go down during that slot.

You have info?

I bring non forum mates along all the time. Edit: never mind, just realised you were talking about maceos

There was quite a twist if you keep reading!
