The former are more exciting, but the latter are much more common. More common I'll agree. But when Emily talks about secret sets in the run up I think that'll mean a band not already listed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense since they'll be debuting new stuff at two gigs in the UK, starting the week of Glasto. See thread here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkic Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 When The Libertines played before Flo in 2015 there were loads of people who genuinely had no idea who was about to come on. Always so much better for "shock value" when it's like that. When everyone knows about the secret sets a la Radiohead and Pulp it takes away from it IMO.

I think it probably is for them playing, tho I've no way of really knowing at this moment in time. The info I was given is that they're definitely playing, and that it's probably a secret set, probably at Williams Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know the Libertines had played until a day later. Which suited me fine, tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadendfriends8 Posted April 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I was thinking how nuts it would be if Muse did the secret other stage Friday morning set... Stripped back, no production. Similar to the small venue UK tour they did a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiohead was kept a pretty good secret until the day itself. Lots of suggestions e.g. Arctic Monkeys were on here before. I was following things pretty closely on here and would check the atease Radiohead boards now and then and certainly things weren't that public until the day of the gig - but news travelled fast. Pulp was pretty well known about for weeks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just wondering around and saw the sign out the front. I feel these are the proper secret sets, they don't really ever get out. Even after the sets happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 it could be bullshit - i've no way of knowing unless it actually happens - but someone has just told me details of a secret set by Ed Sheeran that'll happen over the weekend. It's going to stay secret as far as I'm concerned, sorry. There's no point posting the details I've heard, cos if they are true it'll only ensure it doesn't happen. But anyway, if it happens and you're there at the time, enjoy (or run away ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
