Not sure if this is the right thread but any one know if Paolo Nutini is playing as he’s playing in Bristol on the Thursday 

Yeah he's playing

[Matt42]

Feels very wide open at the moment. Lots of acts I think could show up. Arcade Fire at coach may indicate they are doing a run of festival secret sets. Also with the rumours of Harry showing up there are lots of possibilities.

Just seen that Peter Kay is doing his DJ danceathon shows. Potential secret set at Glasto?

Full faith they'll do JP/Park now.

I am crossing everything because that set looked like an all time great. The setlist was fab even the new songs.

The secret sets are usually printed in the daily newspaper, aren't they?

Free Press isn’t daily, just Thursday and Sunday from memory.

Anyone willing to speculate further now we've had a load of lineup drops?

I know he likes his festivals but the sole purpose of them events is raising money for charity.

You could wheel him out between legend slot, and the next act set up with a text number on the screen.. highly unlikely tho

There’s a Shangri-La act called Miserably Dressed who do not appear to exist.

Hmm, secret set or the area organiser has a mate he wants to give a slot to?😂

Even the smallest of the smallest acts usually have some sort of online presence. Not to exist at all is pretty suspish.

Miserably Dressed certainly has the pseudonym feel to me.

Re: miserably dressed.

Aren’t pseudonyms generally used when the stage days/times are announced to cover up obvious gaps?

Why on Earth would a pseudonym be on the poster?

In case we noticed that a new unknown act had appeared with the stage times. Isn't that a dead giveaway?

Doesn’t it happen every year though that the stage times include previously unannounced acts? Including pseudonyms on occasion?

Not saying you’re wrong, just trying to wrap my head ‘round the logic of it.

I guess there are always some late additions, but they're always more conspicuous. To be honest, I don't know that the logic does make all that much sense, it's arty people doing arty things.

But Miserably Dressed? It just sounds so fake. It's like a crossword puzzle, not a band name. Even if there was a mild web presence, I'd be suspicious. 

[blutarsky]

I’ve just done a bit of digging around using search terms including “miserably dressed” and variations of music, album, critic, review, as I can imagine a band using this as a pseudonym in response to it being used as a criticism and do you know what… 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I turned up nothing. Apart from the synopsis of a Steve Buscemi film 🤷‍♂️ 

[stuartbert two hats]

Didn't Doves once complain that people said they looked like dustmen?

[Hugh Jass II]

“Miserably Dressed” suggests some goth/EMO band.

Bit of unlikely but fun speculation… My  Chemical Romance’s European tour finishes the week before.

[blutarsky]

Sounds like the sort of comment Stewart Lee would make. 

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

Tried some anagram solvers but nothing takes those two words.

[blutarsky]

Maybe the act is very art school? 
 

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

Miserably Dressed = Black Lace?

Agadoo would go off.

[blutarsky]

My money’s on a black parade around the SEC

Never mind Agadoo, can you imagine a massive conga going through the SE corner?

We’ve had the worlds biggest peace sign, maybe we could have the worlds longest conga?
