Fleet Foxes doing a secret set on the park stage would be a dream

When Radiohead and Pulp  played it was in the Sun and everyone knew by 9 am Friday morning. By 11 you couldn't get near the park and the mud was hell, so you had to make a decision - spend the day in the mud waiting for one band and forsake all others or miss the "secret" set.

I was up there not long before Radiohead in one of those wooden covered seats, so that was definitely quite a bit later and it wasn't really filling up until nearer the time..  There were quite a few folks, but we wanted to go and see something else and were able to walk down OK.  There were certainly quite a few more strolling up at that point.

It has to be Gorillaz. After the mixed reaction of their show in 2010, pretty sure Albarn wants to have one back.

It makes sense as well, there won't be any pressure as a surprise set act, the crowd would just be happy that they are able to see an act as big as Gorillaz as a surprise act.

I agree with the Gorillaz suggestions, not to mention their whole album announcement was a surprise set so it seems like something Damon would be into. Along with a few special guests as people have suggested.

I'm hoping William's Green Thursday is Metronomy to relieve a clash on Sunday night. 

Wont be, of course. 

They've already done it so i highly doubt it

What's this about secret sets on Thurs at William's Green? New to me! It must get rammed. Who's done it in the past?

We tried to get in for The Smyths. I think that was Thursday night but it was literally jam packed.

The secret sets were literally straight after the Smyths!

People need to stop talking about Gorillaz. I know I'll just end up disappointed.

Agree with this, setting me up for heart break when its not the Gorillaz. One can dream eh!

Secret Sets - I'm all for it, managed to watch Pulp right at the front thanks to one of those tip offs.
