Right, so I was also told in this exact fashion "a certain Mr M Mathers" is booked in to stay at Babington House as well.

My response (not knowing any of Kendrick's stuff that well or even if their is a link between the two) was to initially laugh then express my disbelief as I see no way in a million years he'd do a secret set but followed up by saying perhaps he'll come on with Kendrick as a special guest or something.

But having looked online this morning there doesn't to be anything suggesting that apart from they've ever performed together live, unless anyone who knows Kendrick / Eminem's stuff better?

Also, does Kendrick do special guests? I have no idea.

Anyway, my mate then said (he definitely believed what he was told even if I didn't!) he wondered if it might be a case that Eminem isn't necessarily performing but coming over to watch Kendrick / scope out the festival because perhaps he's been asked to perform next year?

I'll leave it for you guys to tear apart now!

Want to believe the green day info but find it unlikely that Eminem would book his own room, under his own name…would love to be proved wrong. 
 

big fan of this speculation this close to the festival though. Hope we have no idea until the day off and see posters/flags like biffy did all that time ago

Ah, I didn’t know that. Makes it far less likely. Maybe he enjoyed it and fancied turning up again?

Agreed, we know Noel and Lars Ulrich regularly turn up as punters if they’re able to for instance

Hey pals, has anyone got a brief rundown of any confirmed acts for the secret slots and also any strong rumours? 

 

Trying to scroll pack through 49 pages to understand what has been shared is proving a tad tricky.

 

thank you 

wouldn't say there's any strong rumours but for the secret slots the main names being thrown about are:

Green Day, Jack White, 1975, The War on Drugs, Arctic Monkeys, The Smile, Anderson .Paak, Harry Styles, Paulo Nutini (also Mumford and Sons and Bastille for the Thursday William's Green slot) At this stage, trying to guess who it will be feels like picking the grand national winner.

If I had to bet though, I'd go for Green Day and The War on Drugs based on the current info. And Mumford for that William's Green slot

Although apparently Billie Joe has already visited the site in ‘19 so don’t see why he’d do a retcon of the place again. 

His son was playing in 2019 iirc.

There is also footage of him on site from 2019

Green Day on JP would be glorious. Crossing fingers for that! 

I can't even begin to let this slip into my mind. I would be in pieces.

It's far too difficult for them logistically to do so.

I had a dream last night that Maximo park was The Park TBC. How lazy is my brain 

They were the tbc in william green of the Thursday in 2009. Watching them when the news about MJs death broke

This is were I stand! 

Green Day were my favourite band as a teenager and I've seen them 7 times (with the last being about 16 years ago). 

If they walk out at 2pm in JP, I'd literally lose my mind. For that reason, it can;t and wont happen.

all dependent on whether the info comes out before or not

The Park secret set announced it on the radio the night before last time 🤐

It almost definitely will. They’ve done a good job of keeping it quiet thus far, but I can’t see them keeping it a secret right up until the band walks out on stage. Plus, crowds will swarm regardless in the hope that it’s Arctic Monkeys or something even if a strong rumour of it being somebody else is out there.

Foals weren’t exactly being subtle about it either, even if It was basically common knowledge by then (and months before).

Jack White in John Peel, War on Drugs on the Park. That's where my money is at right now.

With you on Jack White. Really don’t see the Park one being TWOD though - mass exodus waiting to happen imo.

War on Drugs are no way near big enough for a tbc of that calibre. When I previous years its been huge house hold names

TWOD would probably land around 3rd from top on the Pyramid if they were announced. Isn't that a fairly big name for the Park? Not sure we'll have anyone that much bigger than that. Maybe Biffy if they could leg it down from Edinburgh.

TWOD are a weird one because they’re obviously big but they’re not really a household name or riddled with well known songs or bangers. I’d like them to be one of the secret sets, but I feel whoever they turn out to be will be more household names with well known songs. Think TWOD would’ve just been booked to play on the lineup if they were gonna be there in any capacity.

Could be more hearsay, but I've heard from somebody working at JP that they heard it's Green Day

The Park one is opposite Turnstile, right? That better not be Jack White..

Yeah my feelings too - that’d be a gutting clash.

Yeah that's the major mark against them IMO.

Hell, maybe Jack White is Park and Green Day are in JPT after all. I just think it's a fantasy, but who knows.
