Why would those acts warrant secret sets rather than just a normal slot?

Its on a need to know basis

Yer actual Madness showing up somewhere discreet and dusting off a few ska covers and early bangers is something I could get my baggy trousers on for.

[Gnomicide]

Didn't they do it in 2009? Somewhere in Shangri-La.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Club Dada rings a bell, aye. Same year as Gaga maybe?

What a time to be alive.

(I missed it)

[Mash2]

Out of curiosity, during the festival, what's the best way to find out about Secret Sets?

It was 2007 in The Ballroom, in the final ill fated year of Lost Vagueness.

Allegedly it was one of the factors in the relationship between Roy and the festival disintegrating, essentially because he wanted to put them on at 1am after everywhere else had closed which would have created a seriously dangerous crowd problem.

In the end I think they went on at about 11:30, and it was still utterly rammed.

If they can be tempted into it once.....

Would even let Chrissy Boy do his AC/DC karaoke.

Wouldn't be surprised if Derek Acorah popped up somewhere

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Or just keep it secret...

Can't theorise for the other two, but maybe Royal Blood have new music on the way but just not in time for glastonbury, so might hold out for the third album and a headline slot next year (complete guess)? I know QOTSA did R and L secret sets the weekend Villains was released I'm just going along the same vein as that.

Well according to JJ Royal Blood aren’t playing so I think he needs to touch base with his “sources”.

Bombay told me they aren’t playing. At all. They never got the call, they weren’t asked.
