"Really big secret"

[across97]

Has anyone ruled out green day for the Sunday JP slot? 

Rumoured before, BBC made a cock up when foos were announced, available Sunday and not alien to small surprise shows whether it's at a festival or not.

Green day rumour pretty much dead now and couldn't see that happening but who knows. All one can do is speculate

Emily said the "really big one" hadn't got out yet so I would imagine that it isn't them

Yeah, taking this into consideration it's unlikely. 

Just seen the Brandon Flowers interview and that was quite the giveaway for a killers set I think

Far, far too big for JP. I would be fucking loving that but there's more chance of platting piss than that happening.

tbh it's no worse than this Killer's rumour that's going about - that would be scary busy JP if true

[Rylbld9]

If it sounds like The Killers could be playing on the Sunday based on the interview and there is precedence for secret acts playing The Park to round off the festival, that feels like it could make the most sense to me.

[august1]

every year people stand hopelessly at the park on a Sunday, only for the crew to pack away its not happening. Although if I were EE I would put something on 1 year for a laugh to continue the cycle of misery for many years to come

I was told yesterday that Michael has done an interview with the BBC that is yet to be aired and he is still saying there is a big secret for Sunday. 

Probably just further confirms that Sunday JP is it but at least we know that they weren't talking about Liam.

Kraftwerk's tour ends the Saturday night in London, just saying..

Increasingly confident it's The Killers:

1. Unprompted on days, Flowers said that they're in Athens the 'day before'. Why would you say that if your mind didn't immediately jump to Sunday (a day we know there's a prominent TBA). Also would be quite odd not to rule it out if they weren't playing anyway

2. BST exclusivity agreement meaning they couldn't be announced (health and safety argument here too)

3. Shown on BBC over Chic, Haim etc  - definitely a big enough act to justify that. Also think they were labelled 'very special guests'

4. Maccabees being ruled out of that slot and Neil implying Gorillaz are somewhere smaller leaves it open for them 

5. Fits with the 'big secret' - previous headliner, huge name, very much possible that it could've been in the pipeline for 6 months. And now you say Eavis is confirming there's a big secret Sunday, matching 1, 3 and 4

I am not convinced he is referring to the JP TBA. It would be far too dangerous, now he has built up expectation that its something big, the stage couldnt cope, and there would be people cramming to get inside. There will be tens of thousands of people piling from the Pyramid to JP after Barry Gibb. The top of the Pyramid is a real pinch point anyway, especially after the Sunday tea time slot. It would be a H&S nightmare, especially because there is only 15 minutes between Gibb and the TBA

I think, as he has built it up so much as a Big Secret, that it will something on the Pyramid. My money is still on take That joining Barry Gibb or playing after Gibb for a few songs

I reckon half of Led Zep joining Foos. After all, what was Brandon says "It's a whole lotta - I mean it's across the water..."

John Peel - TBA Sunday Slot - Kasabian

Wheres this come from?

[ClementsMike]

Is it just people on this forum that are still doing this? I assume the general public just think  it was Liam G all along?

My point being that the organisers may have created a monster here. If everyone thinks that Gorrilaz or Kasabian are going to play in the JP it will create havoc and chaos potentially, even if they restrict access, it will cause unneeded congestion.

If the TBA is just going to be some like The Coral (who I would enjoy btw) I think they should announce to stop the hassle. 

[henry bear]

But why would the BBC cover the JP TBA slot if it was The Coral or similar?

[ghostdancer1]

doesn't the BBC already film afternoon in the JP? is it going out live or something?

 

e: the really big secret is probably Corbyn.

Would love this, but where does this come from?

If what I was told was correct, the secret is for Sunday, Corbyn is appearing Saturday.

Also, the secret was first being spoken about when it looked like the election would be a Tory landslide. Would he have been appearing if that was the case?

No, he'd have been doing that entertainingly poor job of hiding while his aides tried to pretend he wasn't right behind that glass door through which we can see him nervously looking.

Those days are gone, King Jeremy the wicked ruled his world.

Hmmm. The other day in the HoC was more like the old Mrs-Miggins-Jezza than the new improved version.

I really really hope there's that big change, but we all know Jez has always loved an adoring rally.

[clarkete]

Are there still any suggestions for the secret which are good, or just these crap ones above?

Has anyone mentioned the KLF?

That would fit the bill
