Secret sets 2022

[Matt42]

Fair enough. I can’t see Jack White on the park being a serious crowd issue either. (Albeit well attended).

[Matt42]

I also think (and just my view) that 2023’s headliners may be locked in, and they could potentially have started conversations for 2024 already.

I can totally see Harry doing a surprise this year if he isn’t part of either of those conversations. If the earliest he can do it is 2025 then I can see his team pushing for a big surprise set, which will likely get just about as much coverage as a headliner post festival.

Jack White playing might mean we get to hear 3 James Bond themes in one weekend.  I'm also 99% sure I'm the only person who'd care about that!

I can assure you that at least 3 of my parties will buzzing also.

Miserably dressed = baggy trousers = madness

Calling @CaledonianGonzo

 

Although I think I speak for literally anybody that nobody wants to hear Jack White do his Bond theme.

Love that you're still keeping the Harry Secret Set dream alive.

There is more to back it up than what people are saying about Arcade Fire

There's also the person who heard Arctic Monkeys are doing one at The Park, which seems unlikely given how chaotic that would be, but they had good info about Foals doing one in 2019.

How early did they know about Foals - this sounds very very promising?

Miserably dressed =ironic name for fashion obsessive Harry?

That would be far too busy and too hard to control in Shangri-La

[Matt42]

In theory which area can hold the most people? JP or Park?

Because AM at the Park just sounds crazy dangerous to me. They are a proper headline band, if word got out or there wasn’t a strong alternative I could see it getting dangerous.

Depends what you're measuring.

In terms of being able to get a good sight/earshot of the stage - probably JP, but it's closer than you're thinking.

In terms of being able to safely fit in to the area that'd be closed off - Park, even before you count the people who could fit on the hill overlooking.

Park can be closed off though. I think there's generally enough on elsewhere that people will try to see Foals or AM but get there, realise it's too busy/ closed off and revert back to their original plan

Have they definitely confirmed they're not having the previously scheduled fallow year? I'd assume not but would be good to confirm.

Pretty sure Emily has said that they’re counting those two off years as the fallow years.

staying away from secret sets this year. spent too much time crammed into a venue watchin someone I dont particularly like. not worth getting corona for

[GeezLouise]

Any new theories on Miserably Dressed? I'm getting obsessed.  My friend informs me that Disassemble Dryer is an anagram which, let's face it, is absolutely zero help but I like the enthusiasm.

Ghost are getting my vote. We had a bit of info they could be playing and the way they dress all adds up to me. 
But I’m a massive ghost fan so it could just be me manifesting them to play.

Yeah they’re a weird one because they’re absolutely massive in rock/metal circles but not so much outside of that. They’re an exclusive at another festival the same weekend as Glastonbury which could well explain why they need to be a secret, and given there isn’t really a ‘big’ rock/metal act on the Truth Stage this year like Gojira in 2019, maybe Ghost are gonna take on that role (or it might just turn out they couldn’t secure one this year - no idea if Gojira was a special one off or something they’re trying to do every year - but that theory isn’t quite as exciting).

Ghost have my vote so far, although prepared to be disappointed and it’s just some DJ.

80s style rock at its finest! Well worth a watch if they end up playing.
