Best Kept Secret 2017

[rawaudioinput]

Girl Band have just cancelled every upcoming date this year due to health issues, meaning they're at BKS no more

Right shame, they were one of the acts on the undercard I was looking forward to the most

Shame, I was looking forward to seeing them too. I'm told it isn't the first time they've done this as well.

[Tijn]

Three or four times already if my memory serves me right. Loved their show at BKS '15, their cover of Why Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage is pure bonkers.

This'll be the first time I've been to this Festival and am curious about a few things. To those in the know, when will the actual times for the shows be announced?  Typically, what time does the headliner play and overall how long does music go until? What things must I make sure to see while there? 

Super excited to see Radiohead and Arcade Fire again (it'll be my 4th time seeing each), and discovering some new music.

Take a look to the 2016 clashfinder http:///s/bestkeptsecret2016/

I'm scared of clashes...I'm going to see

[mellowmaniac]

Only a couple of clashes, but some strange scheduling choices (like a 45 minute set only for Thurston Moore).

Damn Toxe has cancelled

Where's Thurston Moore? I can't find him...

@mellowmaniac can you update the clashfinder? I can't understand nothing with the website layout.  

 

Edit: you've been quicker than me

Radiohead after Soulwax is a bit of a comedown. Should have had Soulwax end the festival.

[DDave]

SOULWAX AND THUNDERCAT CLASH!!!

 

Are you fucking kidding me!

[Tijn]

Thurston Moore only getting 45 minutes is quite bad, but really happy how the friday and sunday have shaped up. Saturday not that good, but Arcade Fire headlining makes up for a lot. 

[alan_ts]

Clashes for me are:

Thurston Moore vs Cigarettes After Sex but I think Cigs because Moore wil play near me in July;

Joy Orbison vs Laurel Halo (then I'll go to Vatican Shadow).

[Tijn]

Friday:
Kelly Lee Owens (3)
Real Estate (2)
Agnes Obel (1) 
Mannequin Pussy (5)
Jenny Hval (3)
Run The Jewels (1)

Saturday:
Froth (5)
Chris Cohen (3)
Cloud Nothings (2)
Mitski (5)
The Wytches (5)
The Thurston Moore Group (5) (or early to AF)
Arcade Fire (1)

Sunday:
Kikaguku Moyo (3)
Canshaker Pi (5)
Zeal & Ardor (5)
Arab Strap (2)
Strand of Oaks (1)
Junun (2)
James Blake (1)
Radiohead (1)

My plan as it stands now. 

[spudling]

Also can't believe soulwax and thundercat clash!!!.. 

[clasher]

Moore vs Cigs is bad, but I'll go see Cigs. They have not one but TWO gigs within one hour's ride from my house just before BKS, but I'm already in Amsterdam and that pisses me off!

@alan_ts where is moore playing?

King Gizzard vs The Mystery lights 

Gonna spend most of Friday on stage five it seems. 

Oh, and Yussef Kammal is just Yussef, whoever was wondering what's gonna happen after they split.

Stage Five. In the mobile version I can't go down with the stages so I'm not able to see all the schedule for five.

Have a look to @mellowmaniac clashfinder is very accurate.

It won't get dark until around 11pm. Having Soulwax play afterwards would mean Radiohead playing practically their entire set in daylight.

True. I'm too used to the late finishes at Pukkelpop. Need to get it into my head that it's a totally different type of festival.

Could we expect a secret djset by Kelly Lee Owens?

If yes, is it announced before or is it totally unexpected?

Most years there have been "secret" or small additional live sets. In the early years e.g. at the beach or at bungalows (2015) and in later years at the secret garden stage behind Stage Two. I don't remember secret DJ sets, except Stage Four sets announced very late (but this happened in the early years. In the last couple of years Stage Four was booked and announced properly - even though there might be a surprise set or two).

[DDave]

Friday -

Amber Arcades, Sundara Karma, Real Estate, Metronomy, King Gizz, RTJ, Japanese House, Kornel Kovacs

Saturday - Andy Shuaf, Amazons, Whitney, Circa Waves, Wild Beasts, The Wytches, Cigarettes after Sex, Arcade Fire, Stuff, Joy Orbison, Vatican Shadow

Sunday - Marlon Williams, Rico DJ set, Kaleo, Arab Strap, Cass Mccoobs, American Football, Soulwax, Radiohead.

In light of the atrocious terrorist act in Manchester yesterday, I was curious if anyone had any info regarding security at the festival? Im sure the organizers are taking extra precautions. I didn't see any security guidelines, prohibited items, bag size limitations etc. Has anyone seen any info on that? Or know how past festivals have operated? I'll be traveling quite a ways to attend the festival and would like to be prepared.
