What hidden places / secret sets did you find?

After reading about the hidden venue in the toilet, did anyone find it? 

 

We found the piano bar but with about 10 people queuing and a 90 minute wait we didn't bother. My friend managed to see Peace in the Rabbit Hole dressed as a wedding party and did covers of Power of Love, Parklike and Teen Spirit amongst many others. Had already watched them at the JP stage so didn't go because I presumed they'd just play the same set again.

 

Spotted the naked hot tub next to the Rabbit Hole and had a boogie at the Crow's Nest which was cool. One of my favourite moments was when Fruitbat from Carter USM (and now Ferocious Dog) got up on stage with Hobo Jones and the Junkyard Dogs to cover Shampoo's Trouble in the Avalon Cafe.

 

Anyone else find some gems?

i didn't follow secretglasto or anything like that, so it was a genuine surprise to see Jarvis and the Michael Clark dance co were on in Stonebridge just as i walked past, dancing to a Bowie vinyl, before doing yoga.

 

then the following lunchtime sticking my head into Williams Green and seeing the Dalai Lama up on the stage!

I was at Jarvis too - here's a grainy vid I took of him leading a stretching session before we could start dancing: https://instagram.com/p/4cVlF7RC2t/?taken-by=aliabarrow

 

...I got to the underground piano bar and into the 'secret' rabbit hole bar which was pretty cool. As I walking in I looked up to see a big screen showing a porno. I'm open-minded but it did startle me a little!

 

I wanted to find some hidden stuff in the SE corner but didn't manage to. The Shrinal Richie bar certainly made up for it though!

Well I was searching for hidden venue behind a toilet but no luck. But I did find Piano Bar before it was too obvious where it is and people were queueing before it. You had to even climb over little fence! Inside there was drunk guy playing on PET bottles. Really weird :)

 

But there was also laying on ground these special Glastonbury plastic cups which were available only in backstage so we at least found little memorabilia :)

We snuck into the deserted secret bit at the rabbit hole about 6am on Monday after it had closed and once in there were able to walk behind the stage into the bit with the hot tub and piano where there were still quite a few people. I think they were all special people though because they all had weird wristbands on and lots of them were really arrogant and self obsessed. Does anyone know if normal people are allowed into the hot tub area during the festival? It wasn't great with all the special people but I can imagine it being really fun otherwise.

In copper dollar in the common there was a secret passage to a shed , when you got in there you were asked to jump out in as dramatic way as you possibly could , the entrance was off to the left of the shed behind a hinged wood panel , the place was extremely odd , but great fun with the dancing skeletons and me dancing on stage in my Glastonbury suit at one point :)

Found one place which wasn't really hidden as you could walk straight in through the entrance but you wouldn't expect to find it there.

There was a Pizza place in one of the food areas that was playing DnB. The staff and the people queuing were dancing but if you walked around the side inbetween the pizza place and the coffee and cake van next to it there was a DJ playing playing the DnB in a tent with some decent seating around the edge. Also a small stage inside as well.

Like I said it wasn't a secret area. You just wouldn't expect to find a 'club' and DJ in amongst the food markets.

Found the Piano Bar on Saturday night just before it was too late. Got there at 11:30ish and there were only about 30 people in the queue ahead of us. We were bored with Kanye after about 3 songs and some dicks where we were stood so decided to got pretty lucky! Probably the best part of the weekend, spent nearly four hours in there with my girlfriend!

 

Kate Tempest's set on the Saturday was another highlight, she seemed genuinely humbled to be there and absolutely killed it.
