Dude this is just called you getting older and being less in tune with the current popular music. There are people a generation ahead of you who think the same about the artists you listed as good, as

One of the most ridiculous things I have ever read.  You are not watching Paul McCartney as there are people in the crowd watching the act before.  Get a grip.

Rumour is The Chemical Brothers were never meant to be secret but someone wrote down TBC rather than TCB and it stuck

Looks like there’s two main secret sets, JP and The Park - who do we think they could be?

jp is almost certainly paulo nutini.

park could be anybody right now. arcade fire / florence / jack white / harry styles / 1975

The writing's on the wall here - waiting for Arctic Monkeys to walk out on Park - someone else walks out, followed by a mad dash to catch the back end of the Bootleg Beatles.

It's got Daft Punk/Chase & Status gate (2013) written all over it.

Is it just me or does Paolo on the JP feel like a total let down? Is he even relevant anymore, let alone for a secret suprise? I was at the Killers in 2017 and Foals at the Park in 19, seems like a bit of a downgrade!

Secret sets all depend on acts actually wanting to do them, and unfortunately they can’t always get huge, headliner sized acts to want to do them for the minimal fee they no doubt pay.

Paolo is still a big deal, albeit not as big as those other acts, and he’ll pull (and keep) a huge crowd regardless.

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.

Praying with you there @rubick. I was so sure I'd see them on the lineup given the proximity to their 6 day run at the O2 in Brixton!! I'd lose my s**t if they appeared.

As first timer, how really secret sets are? Do we have any idea few days before the festival or it's just showing up there and see?

Not all thaaaat secret, really.  Most you've got a pretty good idea of a couple days out.  Worst case, morning of.  Just follow secretglasto on Twitter, and you'll be good.

Certainly agree with the Paolo consensus here. Very underwhelming as a surprise.

Alan Morris's tour dates leave her free for Sunday. Would fit in nicely in the park.

Still think an Elton guest spot with Macca is on the cards.

Yep I think I've known about every (major) secret set in the Twitter era to be honest, and have been able to plan accordingly.

      Live at the Piece Hall 2026

      By axel75 · Posted

      Attended a gig at Piece Hall for the first time on Saturday (Opeth), the music was excellent. Just a couple of points on the organisation & the event itself. - Getting through the gates seemed to take longer than required. I was at the South gate about 30 mins before stated start time and still missed first half of Katatonia. - Coffee stall was serving cold coffee later on. - Lots of the crowd seemed to be more interested in chatting than listening to the music. Doubly annoying when sound levels for Opeth seemed quieter than Paradise Lost, is this usual for the venue due to curfew etc? Luckily there was enough room so I could move close to the front of the crowd and couldn't hear drunken chatter anymore 🙂

      That's how I'd see it, either or, 3 BST rules her out.

      2027 Headliners

      By jackslas · Posted

      Surely the chances of Madonna doing three+ nights at BST and also Glastonbury is pretty low? I know Elton did (2?) nights at BST but it seems like it’s one or the other at this point?   A shame. I think she would be absolutely brilliant - plus, unfortunately, given that she isn’t as able as she was means this could be a now or never situation?

      All of these were published in July of their respective year. Appreciate the festival is a little later than normal but it must surely be live in the next 48 hours? The first events start in five days! 🤣
