Hasn't there been an impromptu secret set each day on the BBC introducing stage the past few years generally bands from the main doing an acoustic set? If this is to happen (which it probably will) who does everyone reckon will do it? My money is on Lower Than Atlantis, possibly Courteneers and the Vaccines. 

The bottlemen did this at Glastonbury. Bit of a shout to be fair. Could only see 1 or 2 doing it though.

Weezer still have a gap in their touring schedule...

Why would Weezer fly from America to the UK with all of their crew and gear just for an unannounced 35/40 minute secret set?

Would have thought last shadow puppets are the most likely for a secret set if there is one. Could fill in on Saturday or Sunday.

Any reason? Other than that they're free for two of the dates of the festival, which would make them just as likely as Catfish

On the FR, The Vryll Society, Ezra Furman, The Magic Gang, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, DMA's and Eagulls

Several of these on my list. Good to know I'm on the right track.

Last year I caught Peace and Wolf Alice, can't remember who the third was but the two I did see were great! For this year, while remaining realistic, I'd like to see (Reading):

Friday: Nothing But Thieves
Saturday: Sundara Karma / Blossoms
Sunday: The Wombats

 

Unrealistically:

Friday: Foals
Saturday: Two Door Cinema Club
Sunday: Biffy or 1975

I think the stage would collapse though.

I've pretty much got my whole weekend packed already so as much as I would love for any of these to happen (realistic or unrealistic) they'd all leave me with massive clashes probably haha.

STORMZY is playing Reading and Leeds

[nickybu]

I'm arriving at the festival at around midnight tomorrow. Will the campsite be open to enter? We will have our tickets and there is no mention of campsite being closed, but only being open from tomorrow.

They've done well to replace the 1xtra headliners that dropped out with Wiley and Stormzy. Happened at much shorter notice than Mastodon being replaced by nobody last year.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Yeah and Haim weren't replaced. I know they added Fatherson to the start of the day but I'm guessing they were going to be announced anyway.

[OscarEB]

Is the HAIM slot the most likely place for a secret set them if we get one?

[she bangs the drums]

Ratboy (aka poor man's Jamie T) has confirmed he is playing Leeds NME tent at 5.20 on Friday so clashfinder is about 25 mins out!

Ratboy is the biggest load of shite I've seen in a while. Absolute garbage.

I'd edit but all the times are imminent.

No it's the most likely place for Nas to play.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Apparently Rat Boy hates it if you tell him he sounds likes Jamie T and apparently isn't a fan.

Probably because he knows he's a poor mans Jamie T!

Someone's leaked some of the Leeds stage times

having done this to his face, I would know

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

So Foals and Biffy both closing Leeds then so seems pretty likely they will close both. 75 minute Biffy set sucks.

[conroy17]

if those times are legit then it looks like there's gonna be a secret set between Heck & Milk Teeth

[Gozpot]

Some bands missing on that list of bands, not sure if it's real or not

Who's missing?

Look's real to me, volunteering with Oxfam those were the programme's we were given last year. I think that's the programme all staff get given and as there are some staff there already I'm not surprised someone's leaked them

[6daviesdr]

yup, there's an open 40min slot on the pit (sat reading/sun leeds) between about 3.40 - 4.20pm.

I'd love some jimmy eat world or YM@6 slotted in there. Or another skindred set.

[VinylDelusion]

There aren't any FR stage names in there
