How was it @zak14? 

Gorillaz were amazing and have to give a special mention to Danny Brown's set just before which was insane! Definitely wasnt prepared for the sun though and turned into a bit of a salmon

I was there Saturday and it was fantastic, I'd be over the moon if they ended up as a TBA at Glasto!

I know it seems like we're all chatting shit about random stuff on here, but it all comes back to Glastonbury in the end. Even in normal life, I'll compare the most inappropriate things to Glastonbury. Like when it rains on a Thursday but clears up for the weekend, I'll say "that's so 2008"

Or when there's nothing but landfill indie to listen to... "That's soooooo 2008".

I was there on Saturday.  Gorillaz were fantastic.  The whole event was pretty great really.  Nice crowd, no toilet queues, hardly any bar queues, amazing weather, lovely location.

Good to hear

[Mattty]

So now that Liam is definitely playing that Other slot, where do we reckon that this possible Gorillaz secret set (mentioned by Neil but not 100%) could be? Park?

Neil said it wasn't necessarily a TBA slot so could be anywhere tbh.

Yeah I know, same question still applies

I hear you. I've still not fully recovered from the time time I compared my ex's sexual performance to Oasis's headline appearance in 2004.

How credible are the Gorillaz rumours? Can I get excited or should I prepare for disappointment?

Not sure there is much more to it than 'they are active, Damon has been to Glasto before'. Am happy to be proved wrong though!

Neil said he's heard they're going to be there.

Truth Stage Sunday night?  

Got a feeling I'm gonna end up missing it if/when they play

Yes was a great day, although did you try and get any food? queues were huge, took me 40 minutes to get a wrap

I have someone whispering in my ear that Gorillaz will be doing a secret set.

I can't guarantee that's right, tho the person telling me has a perfect (tho only recent) history, so i reckon it probably is.

the tip did include a suggestion of where (not necessarily a TBA slot), but I've chosen to not share that info in the interests of sanity, safety, and making sure what I say doesn't cause something to get cancelled.

Blimey, that is a long wait. I wonder whether it was a timing issue.  I got food just after De La Soul, so at about 5.15pm, from by the outdoor stage where they had some sword swallowers etc. Queued for less than 5 minutes.

I knew I didn't have much time for food in the Little Simz - Kano - Gorillaz run so ate early.  Maybe I missed the rush.

[somecoolusername]

Queues for the merch were the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Hundreds of people! They must have made a fortune.

Brilliant day Saturday. On our way home now. I agree there could have been more food stalls. I am happy I saw them Saturday so if I was to miss a secret Glasto set I wouldn't be too disappointed, but if I manage to see them again I'd be buzzing

Yes i think you got your timings right, i checked out the various food options after De La Soul and there were hardly any queues, but later on every had either run out of a lot of stuff and/or had massive queues. I wasn't going to bother, but hadn't really had anything to eat all day and half way through Kano decided that i needed something to soak up the cider.

If they were to play what sort of set list do people expect them to play?  New album heavy i guess? Would they still play there bigger hits from the first 2 albums?

I'd expect 50/50 new/hits. Which wont allow for all of the hits of the first few, but they will be represented.

Cheers for that, will probably go an check them out if they play Sunday.

[Tommy101]

No evidence for that mind. Just my feeling after playing so much of their new album (and B Sides, bonus tracks etc) at recent shows that it's unlikely to be a hits show. At the same time Damon knows what he is doing, and how festivals work so a set balanced 50/50 makes sense. Still proud to show off his new stuff while giving the crowd some familiar stuff. It may also be influenced by what guests are on site and willing to perform as a guest.
