Fridaynight sub clues - outsiders help?

[budvar]

Fair enough not announcing the act, but would be useful if they announced the set time - there's a sizeable gap to fill

[Lubic]

Strokes or Libs would be glorious

[Comfy Bean]

Have Franz ferdinand ever played the pyramid?

[johnny-yen]

Here's a question, "why are they keeping it a secret"?

By informing people of who is playing and at what time they can make an informed decision on where to be?

Having loads of people trying to escape the Pyramid Field when One Direction appear will cause chaos. Likewise, if word gets out that Prince finally has made it to Glastonbury and is on stage, think of the panic when everyone is racing towards the main stage from all corners of the site.

It's got to be The Libertines! I am certain, it all fits. Best news ever?

[stuartbert two hats]

They've done well with the secret. I properly have no idea. If I had to guess, maybe The Strokes, but I wouldn't put money on it!

[cheesey_toastie]

This thread is not helping me go back to sleep! Really wanted to see Sharon von Etten but now do I want to be up at the Park?!

[Chrissif]

My daughter is placing her money on Bastille

[jobleakley1]

It came from a back stage chap who was sure it was Pulp.

I hope that's a figure of speech. It's not them.

Announcement to be made at 11am

Where did you hear that? Getting Worthy FM on...

[Mark Pooler]

Can I just add a pretext to my comment. I was only listening to Radio 1 because my DAB is playing up, it was on Radio 1

Could Charlatans be playing? Just seen that Tim Burgess's ticket states:

Tim Burgess - The Charlatans - Pyramid & Other stage

That's just the backstage compound isn't it? As its shared, or at least it looks shared from here!

[Pbird81]

Isn't that just because it's all the same compound?

[TheNewUnion]

Pyramid and Other share a backstage area, I would imagine that would account for both stages being on the ticket.

[The Other Steve]

Most likely... I didn't really have a clue to be honest!

[laps100]

Tim Burgess would have given more away on twitter if they'd have been playing The Pyramid as well.

[DizzyRum]

It's not Pulp...

"However, organiser Emily Eavis did reveal that it is a band who have never played the Pyramid Stage and were not otherwise due to play at Glastonbury this year.

"There is definitely something filling that gap but under no circumstances will it be announced," she said. "Luckily it's been a proper secret, a proper surprise, which actually is quite hard to do now because things get out.

"But there are only about four people other than the band that know about this. Even people that work on the festival don't know about it.

"They're coming because they want to play Glastonbury and they've never done it before on the Pyramid Stage. That's all I'm saying.""

 

 

it also rules out the Manics who have played it a number of times.

...and Ash too.

 

Royal Blood seem to fit the bill.....

 

Maybe followed by a 45 minute acoustic Foos set - there is no way one act is filling a gap of that size, there has to be two.

 

Or maybe I am dreaming....

[Mark Pooler]

The only band with a back catalogue to fill that spot is The Strokes

[tom22]

Has this level of mystery ever happened before at Glastonbury? Wonder what the 99% of people at the festival who don't read this site or follow @secretglasto will be doing with themselves

[Martin Ashford]

I'm fairly sure it's Fleetwood Mac. I saw official weather and news updates yesterday near the Park saying the Mac flew into Bristol airport. This was yesterday evening. Also spoke yesterday to a girl on a merchandise stall who turns out to be Emily'S niece. She said it's not Taylor Swift but would not be drawn on the guests. Be so chuffed if it's true.

[DDave]

It's ABBA.

[stuartbert two hats]

Unless Neil swoops in, I don't think I'm going to get this one. So many people are 'sure'. So, so many names flying around.

Well played Emily.
