iistroudley Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Anyone think MGK pulling out may change who we see as a secret set aka they just get bumped up to an actual announced act? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much so. Also, half the Architects stage at ALT+LDN is booked for R&L, can imagine them bringing some more in if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyrhodes24 Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Controversial pick but Maneskin would be a decent Pit secret set. They draw in a few Pit stage regulars but also the Tik Tok crowd Melvin has clearly targeted this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion its unfair to say they are booked because of tiktok though - they are big upcoming acts that have blown up - it doesn't really matter where they blow up. not saying you are saying this but tiktok gets treated with such a stigma but its acted as a platform for so much alternative music to grow from, stuff that just wouldnt come through normally as its so un-chart. Maneskin is a massive booking right now, just a few weeks back they had 3 songs in the top 20. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got no beef with TikTok, it’s proving be be an amazing tool for music promotion and is only going to get stronger and stronger moving forward. I wasn’t digging any of those artists out 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4tt Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 A hint at a Frank Carter secret set? Probably not 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r55N Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Well... going through through this tread, Frank Carter and Architects really seems to be one of the most obvious candidates for surprise set. To be honest, I was hoping for more bold or interesting acts... ever since I bought tix for the festival a couple of months ago I was hoping for Thom Yorke - either with the Modern Boxes show or The Smile. Still, I hope FR have some interesting surprises we didn't thought of there:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WStoner Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Could Lets Eat Grandma be a shout for a secret set? They're doing a late night DJ set at Reading. Seems an odd thing to come all the way to Reading for if they aren't performing too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukey Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 So we potentially have: FR tent between Bloxx and Baby Queen Main stage between Demob Happy and Inhaler Lockup between Bad Nerves and Grace McKagan Also the 3 BBC Intro sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 The Snuts have been added to the Main Stage on the Catfish day so we won’t be getting a secret set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
