I know one of the bookers.

Not a clue which one just that they've been touted for it and it's most likely going to be them.

must be the last act on then as they're a pretty big name

possibly - Vaccines did it when they were quite big but from what I can recall they messed around with the timings (on purpose, I think) as it was getting too crowded

[mungo57]

might hand round then and try and catch TDCC. Presently I will be missing them for Protoje on Friday....... if its them of course.

[Gucci Piggy]

Seriously hope Savages do it. Gonna have to miss them on Friday on account of Foals and Muse. They'd absolutely destroy that tent.

Has it ever been someone due to play the Pyramid before? Seems a bit off an odd thing to do

Yeah - Vaccines in 2013

and The 1975 in 2014 - both very similar sized acts to what TDCC are now

Also, know they weren't Pyramid or even playing at all, but Bastille did it last year and even then they were probably just as big as those two

Bastille played on the Friday last year so not really the same thing. TDCC are definitely the right sized act to finish off the three secret Thursday acts though. hopefully Unknown Mortal Orchestra will be another

There's only 2 

Two Door would be fairly shit, but I guess its good they get bands of that size to do it.

ah my bad - just remember there being three one year. aye wouldn't have any interest in Two Door at all, but would be nice if the band beforehand was good (although if not, all the better - i can avoid it all together)

I'm pretty sure one of the TBAs is Two Door Cinema Club.

They were going to be my guess. Blossoms are a good shout for the other one.

[pastorofmuppets]

They've always tended to be mainstream Radio 1 indie type bands, haven't they?

TDCC and Blossoms sounds about right, maybe Catfish.

Chvrches are the only realistic possibility that would get me down there

So... who do we think the 'Live Bands' will be on Williams Green this Thursday?

I was planning to stick Hinds in for one but as they're playing Sunday, can't see them sticking around that long so guess it will be someone playing Friday or Saturday. Normally it's an act on the cusp of breaking through to the bigger stages but I've drawn a blank at the moment!

I was stood near one of Hinds during FWF on the Sunday last year - and they played Friday - so I wouldn't rule it out!

Moshi Moshi Records posted on Facebook that Nzca Lines, Wesley Gonzalez and Rozi Plain are playing secret sets over the weekend. Could be any of them.

Crow's Nest for all of 'em, probably.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra 

They had Thursday down on their dates for the longest so maybe.

[Mardy]

Never mind all that shillyshallying around. The actual gorblimey canyoubelieveit wonderful once in a lifetime ROCKINGBIRDS are playing Williams Green on Sunday afternoon.

I'll be the fat bloke down the front, bawling like a bairn.

Actually, that'll probably describe over half the audience (12 men, 2 bored girlfriends and a 3 legged dog)

this is just about 25 years old, still the sound of my fucking life

YES! Great suggestion  

[Festival Liam]

If it turns out to be Chvrches or Grimes I am going to be super pissed. However, it's usually the current Radio1 indie hype bands..

Also how early do people turn up to get in?? It always looks disgusting whenever I've walked past.

Last year I got there during Drenge and couldn't get inside the tent, but once they finished it was easy to get in for Wolf Alice. Ended up about 5 rows back for them.

They stuck around all weekend after playing on Friday last year and it looks like they'll be doing the same this year so I wouldn't count it out.

 

[FloorFiller]

gutted to have to miss Hinds this year so i'd love if they played another set at some point. Leave Me Alone is a top album

[Gucci Piggy]

My first two guesses before we got day splits were Blossoms and Savages, so with them now both being Friday they're obviously both still looking good bets for it.

If the TDCC info is true that's a bit lame.

Daughter and Hinds also good shouts, and maybe UMO based on them having Thursday down on their tour dates for ages, but they do seem an odd fit for it. It's usually pretty Radio One fodder acts, isn't it? Although I don't listen to Radio One so not sure if they play Savages, Daughter or Hinds at all.

yeah it is usually more Radio One fodder so i'm inclined to go with Two Door Cinema Club and then Blossoms or something similar, rather than something good like UMO or Hinds. in fact has it ever been a non UK based act? UMO must just have the Thursday down as a default day

Yeah Blossoms were always my first pick so at the moment I'll go with them and TDCC.

Oh well, means I can do something else Thursday night. Sad that I won't get to see Savages at all, though, if that's the case.
