We had a rumour a while back that they were gonna do a secret set. No updates on the rumour since, but with what little info we have so far they’re probably a front runner for one of the Sunday TBAs.

Lovely. I caught The Killers at JP in 2017 and it was great. Could easily see The 1975 pack that tent/field out, they always put on a great show.

For the introducing stage, I know there's a consensus that it's Wolf Alice, Idles, and Arlo Parks, but were there any guesses for the Saturday afternoon slot? Was this on the initial schedule?

Where did Arlo come from? Any day for that - i hope she makes an appearance with Glass Animals

Clutching at a straw from some distance here, but where did that Arctic Monkeys 'rumour' originate? 

some random user said it

A friend pointed out to me last night that so many (maybe all) of the 'big' secret acts in the last 10 years or so have all gone on to have a big slot the following year.

I questioned it but when he reeled them off, it stacked up. Makes me think that Park slot in particular will be someone big, maybe not the JP one - given the time

Arlo, Idles and Wolf Alice are all curating a day each for the bbc tent. So the theory is they’re all playing their respective nights in the TBA slot. Some thought it might be a DJ set though, not live band.

I don't think that's right, yes some have but I'm sure just as many haven't. 

Pulp, Radiohead, Elbow, Franz Ferdinand...

You're probably right, we were very pissed. 

Just setting myself up for when I'm waiting for Arctic Monkeys to walk out, and it's Paolo Nutini.

I'd be made up with that.

Haha. I've had some belters over the years. Close call for the best, think it's between Daft Punk 2013 Arcadia - which ended up as Chase & Status, or Bowie on Park (forget the year) when they just shut the stage.

Where is the BBC Introducing stage exactly? Says online it's in the interstage area, but surely it's not the same place I'm thinking of as I thought interstage was VIP only?

And are we thinking it's Idles on the Saturday?

Here it is!

Consensus, logically, is they will fill the TBA slots at the end of each day they're headlingin. Taken from here -

Everyone on Facebook are essentially saying TBA on JP is Green Day. Is this genuine?

While technically not impossible, they would have to then be playing 4 days straight. Something they’ve not done at any other point of the tour.

Anyone saying that is doing so out of pure wishful thinking.

It's exceptionally unlikely to be them just based on logistics.

Buzzing that The Chemical Brothers seem to be the secret set on Arcadia - am I right in thinking that would be the Friday night slot? TBAs from 23.00-01.00 and 01.00-02.00.

Also keen to know the William's Green Thursday secret set and John Peel Sunday secret set.

Wondering if Sports Team might be the one for WG - no idea about John Peel though. Maybe Paolo Nutini? Any news/ideas/gossip/rumours?

Cheers

should be the 2 hour one as its long been locked in and the 1 hour one only just appeared from Nina Kraviz bailing on her slot. its a DJ set by the way incase you missed that, not the full live show 🙂

I'm hoping it's nobody decent on the park secret slot on Sunday as it will clash with Turnstile..

exactly my thinking! already had to make peace with the fact I’d be missing Turnstile for Kacey Musgraves (seen Turnstile twice already this year and they were fantastic) so selfishly hoping it’s something I can skip!

Definitely wishful thinking.. but is it really impossible based on logistics? Do they really need the full stage production and all the regular equipment for a surprise set at a much smaller stage? Also max 1h compared to the 2h they usually do.

IIRC they had a similarly packed schedule when they played a secret set at Reading 2012, but I think they had a day off either before or after.

100% not impossible and i think incident agrees with that, just cannot see it happening. Very random as well considering their album came out a while back and they don't have history with the festival either.

But why cant Glasto just book them and you throw the history thing out of the window. There is no pattern. Who cares about a new album or not. In an hour theyll play one "new" song and the rest will be all their hits. Did anyone want to hear that new song The Killers did in 2017? No, they wanted Mr Brightside. If this all comes down to acts the festival has had and such the. There will never ever be a genuine surprise. Whats the fun in that.

 

Oh and lets not forget Crows Nest is an entire TBA schedule all weekend.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
