Dukey Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 There's two gaps for Leeds on the FR stage so not sure whether there'll be something in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end of day "gaps" are just the stages closing early. Reckon the two slots on FR, the one on BBC Introducing and potentially one in the Pit (if the times move slightly, as there is some odd timing in there one day) are the top end of what is possible for secret sets. The timings on Radio 1 are a bit odd on the Sunday, but currently nothing long enough for a secret set gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think she will play a secret set and I think the main secret set is the 1xtra stage on Friday. I have a feeling that it's going be a rap artist maybe Stormzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeddingatReading Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Any chance of Slaves being the secret set in the Pit? The organisers seem to love them and I think they’re about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been going to Reading Festival for years and I've never seen the festival republic stage close early. Last year all three nights had 10:45pm slots.

Quorn Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 The set times seem to be constantly changing on the app ever so slightly, just wondering if it’s possible the relatively long breaks between acts on R1 Saturday for Reading could be squeezed up to make that King Princess-NAV gap big enough for a secret set?

I feel as though any big secret set would have been planned for months (e.g. BMTH last year) and therefore programmed in from the start, like the 1xtra, FR and Pit ones.

Agree its different, but it's still more probable that they are just finishing early than it is that there are secret sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that’s true, thought they’ve been changing up 1975’s timings on the app despite the band themselves evidently knowing the right schedule. Just being hopeful tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinyforestnymph Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 ngl Frnk Iero and The Future Violents might play. they are a smaller band but their uk tour starts the next day and their support band Laura Jane Grace and The Devouring Mothers are also playing reading also i think its highly unlikely to be the killers, even though that would be amazing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jericode Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) They're playing in America Thursday and Saturday so I'd say definitely no. Edited August 14, 2019 by Jericode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKOCF Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 I had a dream last night that Death Grips were the 1Xtra secret set. It’s about time that they appear at the festival. That would be absolute carnage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre91 Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Frank Iero wouldn’t warrant a secret set. He wouldn’t fill the tent if he was announced let alone if he appeared out of the blue. Imagine hyping up a secret set to play in front of 150 people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
