They deleted the dates off their website. Either they’re not doing it or R&L have had a word with them

I can't see them pulling out, they're in the UK so no reason for them to pull out (well, they're in Glasgow on Monday and Slam Dunk next weekend) - I reckon R&L have just contacted them reminding them what "secret" actually means 🤣

Have to say its honestly really stacked for me this lineup, 7 acts on Friday/Saturday and 6 on Sunday now blossoms have been announced plus secret sets potentially. Really happy with how this year has turned out, since the original announcement a lot of good stuff has been added which didn't really happen last time I went. Not even filler acts too, about 80% of what i'm seeing I would consider/buy a gig ticket for.

Yes me too 🙌🙌🙌

Frank Carter has to pop up somewhere, right? 🐍🐍

[WStoner]

So at the mo the thinking is that the secret sets will be: Don Broco, Frank Carter et al, and Waterparks?  Is that all of the secret set slots filled?

looks like 4 gaps, so 1 more

[jumperofftheshelf]

The Vaccines?

[m4tt]

If Don Broco and Frank Carter are possibilities theres no reason why Architects arent also a pit possibility. They all play the same venues in London (Ally Pally, Wembley, Brixton).

Also, ALT LDN might want to use them to try and sell some more tickets to reading goers (doesnt sound like its doing very well).

You Me At Six looks increasingly likely to be the fourth

there’s no room for them is there?

I’m fully expecting Oli to come out with YUNGBLUD but not a Horizon set.

I saw somewhere else say that Oli will be showing up in Yungblud's set, so this could explain why he's there

Based off of clash finder, there's a couple of gaps on the festival Republic stage the day Yungblud is playing and there is nothing on the BBC introducing stage late on the evening. Possible but I think it might be wishful thinking.

isnt there a main stage slot somewhere? or am i wrong 

They’ve added The Snuts to the Main that day so that slot has gone. 

[m4tt]

They probably could have got BMTH..... but gave the slot to Biffy instead

Bring Me have been promoting their UK tour as their only UK dates, I doubt they would want to go back on that after selling them to their fans.

There's no telling if Kellas is ITK or not anymore, he suggests that many acts that a lot do end up playing, but obviously a lot don't as well. If BMTH do turn up though I'll never curse Melvin Benn again

I’m with you. Saw them a few years back, awful band. 

[Andre91]

The dumbest thing about Waterparks is that their annoying af frontman spells his name AWSTEN. What a pleb.

Josh from YouMeAtSix just tweeted loads of 👀 emoji so wouldn't be surprised if he's teasing a set.

I’d like to see it.

Don BROCO, FCATR, YMAS and it boosts the festival by a zillion % for me. Don’t get me hopes up 😂

Very valid point. Can only hope so

Oli will come out for Obey with Yungblud - they’ve been doing that on the YB Tour.

I wrote some potential secret slot ones down earlier but the only spot on main was the one blossoms have took 

[Gerard the Fab]

I really can’t be arsed to check, I thought it was probably 3 LO/pit and a FR. If so would say:

Waterparks

Frank Carter and then Rattlesnakes

Don Broco

the Vaccines

[jumperofftheshelf]

There’s loads of space on the Introducing too isn’t there?

Yh that’ll be artists already on the lineup I assume

Theres in fact 4 across the 2 days on LO/Pit, so always potential for BMTH, more likely Idles and Architects surely. 
also the Hara don’t go on until 12:25 it says, potential for a set on the other stage to open up that day

4 secret sets on LO/Pit seems unlikely, i think we'll get a couple of smaller names tonight/tomorrow. Then a couple of secret sets
