BeddingatReading Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 So, is there any chance of a potential secret set on the FR or Pit after the headliners on the Post day? I’ve never know them to have a secret set that late but then I’ve never known both to finish that early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the secret sets are usually early in the day as a way of getting people into the arena, put them on late in the evening and it loses that advantage for the festival.

Was thinking it would be stupid putting a headliner up against a secret set but it seems the only way to get someone like Catfish to do a secret set. Them in the middle of the day in the FR would be carnage. I just don’t see why they would not book them for so long after how popular they are.

Only reason I can think of is they fit into that strange phase of being too big to sub and not big enough to headline and also probably don't want to co-headline, would be odd if they've not even tried to get them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know which I'd choose. Next year co headline I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If rumours went round about the SLP secret set I can’t see too many people rushing to get there. Maybe would have been good as a “special guest” opener but not as a secret set.

I think they just need to give touring a rest for a year then come back and they could definitely do it. --- Love Fame Tragedy a shout maybe for a secret set? Would be a good way to kick off the solo thing but I doubt it maybe as the Wombats did a secret last year and are already back for a second year running. I am assuming he will be playing lots of their songs as well as the new singles so it would kind of be overkill, 4 sets in 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a fan of the Wombats but even for me it’s getting a bit much them being absolutely everywhere recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radi0Head Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) So our previous guesses as to the time of the secret set may not be complete. Just been reading an NME article which states. ‘Secret set because: This is unconfirmed, but a prominent Clashfinder website has spotted an abnormally large gap on the BBC Radio 1 Stage between 4-5pm on the Saturday at Reading.’ guessing if NME is talking about this slot this is THE secret set. It’s quite late in the day and clashes with Billie Eilish so I wonder if it’s....?

Nah compare Saturday to the other days (which have pretty much identical set times) with a quick changeover they could fit someone on for half hour.

There's no 'quick changeover' on the other days. I just checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
