CaledonianGonzo Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 The only one that would really get me interested would be Mavis Staples, but I don't see it. If it's early in the day could I see Noel G pulling on his guitar for the new single? Sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Music Girl Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Haters gon hate. I for one would be happy to see Gorillaz again, having enjoyed them last time. Still think Gaga fits the bill for huge secret better but this seems reasonable. Where would people put them though? Above Saturday sub? Earlier?

zeppelin Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 The Gorillaz headline set years back really ruined them for me, and then the new album definitely hasn't helped. And in fact Albarns headline set at Latitude made me dislike him more. All in all I would be a tad disappointed but can't deny it would be a hell of a booking.

Slugworth Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 How have we come to the assumption it's the Gorillaz? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyT Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I'm sort of hoping that the festival don't announce who it is before the stage / times poster. I just want a big fat TBC or SPECIAL GUESTS in whichever slot it may be so this whirlwind of rumour can continue for longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watergirl Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Don't have time to wade through this entire thread, but are we sure now it is Gorillaz? I actually liked the gig last time around; I must be about the only one that did. I wouldn't classify that as a really big secret though...

A proper massive suprise act on the pyramid that doesn't get leaked. (so long as it's not Gorillaz) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deaf Nobby Burton Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 This thread can be compared to a balloon that's been inflated to nearly bursting point, let go off, then it's whizzed all around the room frantically bashing off walls and flying all over the place, before ultimately deflating and landing in a calm realisation that it's probably just Gorillaz.

OddRon Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I was the secret London show in march and they played the new album in full with Most of it being unheard and everyone had a blast. I think the 2010 slot was so long ago it's unfair to judge them based on that and if they are the secret, whilst I'm not too fussed as seeing them at their own festival, it'll be a fun set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartbert two hats Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Despite my wishes, it's odd how this consensus appears to have evolved around Gorillaz. Arcade Fire seem just as likely to me, without the problem of loads of guests and a generally badly received headline performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some weird group psychology going on where a totally unfounded and unsupported consensus has been reached.

ConorC Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) Not sure where 'Gorillaz aren't a huge surprise' is coming from. Biggest 'secret' booking they'll have had since about 2011. Edit: Still think it's Elbow/LG/Gaga though. Edited May 17, 2017 by ConorC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that they'll have arrangements in place for tourdates that guests can't make e.g. some hired hand rapper to take the place of De La Soul, Del TFHS, etc. 7 minutes ago, John the Moth said: I was thinking the same.
