In terms of the 'secret set', how secret actually is it? I.e. how long before the 'secret' band play is it revealed/known....

2017 they were all pretty much nailed on weeks innadvance iirc. They even just changed Liam Gs because it was that open a secret.

Everybody seemed to be saying Libertines on the day, but I didn't trust it until I checked on here. I suppose if you don't know what's a trustworthy source, you're not going to fully buy even the most rampant rumour. The Killers seemed to be a different matter though, didn't the King Gizz chaps even make an obvious reference towards the end of their set? Everybody knew it was The Killers.

Do people think The Cure could headline the Other Stage? The Strokes could then headline the pyramid 

The Cure are far bugger than The Strokes aren't they??

I always though the strokes were a flash in the pan. Nit sure why there is so much hype surrounding them.

It's true that it's often leaked a bit, but I was at this one and most of the folks there had no idea who was coming on...

I wasn't at that stage, but I didn't find out who it was until the following morning when others in my group told me.  Not that it would have changed what I was doing - I'm not a fan.  I did however get told - and totally swallowed - a wonderful yarn about who was playing by some random in the West Holts field earlier in the day.

Frank Carter mentioned them during his set. There was a bit of booing at which point he told the boo-ers to fuck off until they'd written a banger like Mr Brightside.

Got a good laugh out of me that did.

Where have these Stroke 'rumours' come from? Is it just one person saying it would be cool followed by 3 pages of how it would happen/when it would happen? Or is there something to it?

Grimmy said it twice on the nation's favourite apparently.

yep.

The Cure sold out BST last summer, and pretty quick too.

I'll be mildly surprised if The Strokes sell out their APE show which is less than half the size and with a lot more support too, based on how the APE shows sold last summer.

With that undercard I’d be very surprised if The Strokes couldn’t shift 40k tickets.

The last time the strokes played Hyde park, I got a couple of those £2.50 tickets they were knocking out

He's a bit of a special case though (in more ways than one), before his solo comeback he was barely selling out academies with Beady Eye (and they actually had members of Oasis too) but somehow generated a huge wave of enthusiasm for his solo album by sheer force of personality and novelty factor alone, which is pretty impressive. Whether the second album and future tours will be met with the same degree of enthusiasm now he's been around a bit and everyone's had the chance to see him is another question altogether.

I think the Supersonic documentary helped build enthusiasm and led to Warner brothers signing him and investing a million pounds into his solo career which definitely helped. I'm surprised there was so little made of that video of him assaulting his girlfriend last year though considering the current era we're in (NME didn't even report it and they print nearly everything he does).

My prediction is the strokes doing a set in a tent, a darkish uninterested tent, acting like they’d rather be in a smaller darker even more uninterested tent.

Doing it for real.

Thing is as well, the buzz behind The Strokes doing a secret JP slot and The Killers won't even be on the same level.

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…

      Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.

      Citizenship via investment programs basically work by saying if you invest this much in our economy (say buy a property worth x) then we will either grant you citizenship or residency with a route to it. The EU has rules on how low countries can set the bar. Montenegro was one of the easier ones to get and they've had to tighten it up.
