Sunday Park secret headliner?

[Trebor]

Damn right. One of my greatest Glasto moments of all time.

[miss_renegade]

I'll prob pop over to see who's on, wasn't looking at going seeing anyone after smashing pumpkins anyway so may as well.

If there's a secret act on up there it'll be a band that the Park can accommodate without H&S fears. If there's a bigger act in the same league as Pulp or Radiohead there's a very real risk that the place will become as overcrowded as in 2011. That would be enough to make MDC very unhappy, and if there were an injury due to the overcrowding they'd do their pieces. And with the best will in the world there's no way that secrecy can be absolutely guaranteed for the event - there's just too many people involved. So why would the organisers risk the license for a big act when they could put on a secret set elsewhere without the H&S fears.

So my guess is no big act.

Grinderman it is then.

I thought I'd read they're just going to try and keep the names under wraps better? So if you want to see the secret gig then you need to turn up and see who shows up on stage. Everyone on the site knew the day of the gigs in 2011 who was playing the secret acts.

Hoorah! A double helping of Mr Cave for the more discerning festival goer.

I doubt it'll be AFP. Thom and Nigel will do a DJ set somewhere in Block9/ShangriLa/Common. Can't see them doing a band set as well.

DAFT PUNK

What are you bitches on about? What time is Cat Power on? If it transpires I don't get to see her and The Pumpkins I will cause somebody immense pain.

I wouldn't dismiss the possibility of some kind of cock-up with the times. Let's wait til Monday before getting excited.

[Vieuphoria]

Where has this Monday thing come from? Has it been officially confirmed for then?

[GlastoSimon]

^ West Holts FB page announced that the set times were coming Monday.

If there is a 'secret Park headliner', I'm going to stir the pot regarding Atoms For Peace. They've announced a full band club gig in LA which is taking place on Friday. So clearly Thom Yorke's comment about them not getting their act ready for Glastonbury was a big fat lie!

[caroldecker]

The postal service.

As good a guess as any. I'm pretty sure they've been touring lately.

[LondonTom]

Daft Punk or Franz Ferdinand

[makhulumo]

I might keep a tally of how many times I hear 'Daft Punk' and 'secret set' while I'm at the festival.

As much as I'd love it to be MBV, my money is on AfP.

I was at the Radiohead Park show and hadn't seen them since Reading 99. I managed to get a spot where the sound was good and because I had not kept upto date on their stuff. For me it was like discovering an amazing new band. Afterwards I lingered about and caught Caribou who were amazing. 2 superb shows completely chuffed. Annoyingly I chose Elbow over Pulp grrrrrrrr

[Bisque]

Bloc Party?

Can't be announced due to Iow & Latitude. Might have a tie in for R&L then though.

[august1]

fully booked for the weekend

[DJL]

A surprise headline slot on the park would be perfect for atoms for peace. It would make the sunday headliners a bit stronger... Likewise MBV

[nollie]

Stone Roses not playing at back end of June according to their website, Eavis has already said he'd love 'em to play....
