Secret sets 2022

[FloorFiller]

I know it’s a bit early for us to have any proper idea of who they’re gonna be this year, but what with us already having an Arctic Monkeys rumour, as well as info Florence turned down the opportunity to do a Park secret set, thought we might as well have a dedicated thread for this.

So, who do we think/want? 
 

Jack White’s tour dates are pretty convenient, as well as him having done similar before and seemingly liking the place. Wouldn’t at all surprise me to see him do a Park or John Peel secret set, which would probably be better suited for his new material rather than being billed high up and having everybody wondering what the fuck is going on.

Jack White is a good shout actually - he's in the country and has previous (guested with The Last Shadow Puppets when they did a secret set back in the day).

Arcade Fire is unlikely but would please me immensely.

1975 are heavily rumoured

[t0paz]

Arcade fire would be epic, although seems unlikely.

Jack White would be a good fit but may also make the full line up yet.

And after Vampire Weekend did one despite already being on the pyramid line up, it could be anyone.

The 1975 would be my best guess.

Yeah wouldn’t be at all surprised to see them do it. Where did the rumour come from again?

[rubick]

Following another user's point on another thread about LCD Soundsystem being in country in June, I'll be praying to Jesus, Mary, Joseph and associated farmyard animals for this to come to pass.

Paolo Nutini if he isn't on the full line-up

[AlexOvd]

1975 or even Royal Blood.

[the wonderwhy]

Arcade Fire is the one 

[TheGChild]

Unpopular decision but KoL to do a JP set a la Killers?

I know it's in August but only doing a solitary date in Japan seems a bit crazy.

Think someone posted on reddit or something that they'd be doing the JP and their album would be out the same day

That was it. Guess we’ll have to keep an eye on that album release date then.

One of the 1975 band members said this on insta 

 

 

[siblin]

First one to say "Daft Punk" gets thrown out of the festival.

[Billy Shears]

Suggested on another thread but The Strokes have a glasto shaped hole in their tour dates 

[sisco]

I think KOL will be there 

[George1399]

The fact that Glasto has the ability to pull in the likes of Foals, Killers etc. for a secret set is just nuts to me as a first timer.

I'd sell my soul for it to be AM but I think if it were between them and The 1975 the latter would be more likely.

I think both bands are in a similar position of needing to kickstart their UK popularity again (IK AM are and always will be massively popular but they've somewhat sunk into the shadows). Whichever one does it headlines in 2023 imo.

Was vampire weekend a secret set? I thought they were on the line-up twice (or was there a secret 3rd set)?

[Ingobernable]

Ahead of the 2017 festival there were a lot of rumours about Arcade Fire. They'd just realeased Everything Now and, like now, were doing all sorts of special gigs, including that one in a carpark at Primavera. (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-40129456). It seemed to make a lot of sense and it had been three years since they headlined. 

Anyway it didn't happen.  

[Euphoricape]

Where has the AM rumour come from? I'd be over the moon if they were there but surely would have to be pyramid stage or other.

Are they? 

[Matt42]

Harry Styles is probably the only rumour so far with some legs.

The early Park set was a secret set.
