Any ideas regarding secret set, how big an act can we expect? 

Probably someone who has been 3rd or 4th down on main in previous years or headlined NME who could sub or co-headline next year 

[dentalplan]

Could be anyone, could also be no one.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

La Dispute and mewithoutyou are supporting Coheed on their warm up dates so quite likely to be added.

Black Peaks and Arcane Roots touring, that'll do nicely ty

They're both around for ATG anyway so not necessarily. Would be cool though.

8th of July in York. Don't know about everywhere else, it might just be a one off but presumed it was a tour, might be wrong but got my ticket straight away. Only a small gig mind

 

[OscarEB]

Just googled it and looks like it's just a one off, my bad

What's the likelihood of a Beck secret set? Would love to see him at some point

Same price as Leicester to win the league then. Might be worth a cheeky 10er 

 

Chances are the secret sets will just be people already at the festival to be honest. Jack Garratt and Frank Turner are two likely options.

I don't agree with that, especially at Reading... there's been an act do a secret set for nearly each of the last 6 years that weren't already on the lineup.

2015 - Foals (NME)
2014 - Jamie T (Fest Rep)
2012 - Green Day (NME)
2010 - NOFX (Lockup)

In addition there are plenty of acts that perform a secret set elsewhere that are on the lineup...BBC Introducing always has them (last year was Wolf Alice, Jack Garratt and Peace).

I'm hopeful for another huge 'future headliner' secret act or even a Biffy secret acoustic set!

[rivalschools.price]

Have they got the wrong Rag n Bone man on the official Reading Festival site?

cant imagine this on the Dance stage

This is important

Rage Against the Machine / Public Enemy Collaboration by the look of things

Tom, Tim and Brad from RATM forming a supergroup with Chuck D of Public Enemy and B-Reel of Cypress Hill. Zach has no involvement. pretty disappointing and a bit shitty to clearly mislead people even if they haven't explicitly said anything about a RATM reunion

Fair point. Im just struggling to think of which large band /future headliner could fill a secret set slot this year to be honest.

Tame Impala would be my first natural guess but they are in the USA during the festival. A band like Catfish or Royal blood could be an option though I guess.

Already heavily regret this choice of screen name. Knew I should have gone with Hodor

 

 

 

 

 

 

[hamishrankin]

Yeah I'd agree, very disappointing, especially when the website is very "rage" looking.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I think Enter Shikari are a decent shout for a secret set especially seeing as the one festival they were playing was cancelled.

My point was that the website would suggest a rage reunion which as FloorFiller said, would be misleading, therefore for myself it would be disappointing. I shall remember to spell out every point I make so that's it's crystal clear for you Yellow_Fellow
