Secret sets 2022

[leath02]

So our best placed guesses atm are -

Park - Jack White
John Peel
 - The 1975 / Green Day

Arcadia
 - Chemical Brothers (DJ)

Williams Green
 - Bastille
BBC Intro

Friday - Wolf Alice (DJ)

Saturday - SAULT / Paolo / George Ezra
Saturday - IDLES
Sunday - Arlo Parks

Then maybe another Paolo appearance in The Rabbit Hole

But no hints towards the GreenPeace slot, or the Transgressive acts in the Rabbit Hole 

?

[Gingerfish79]

Is there any actual info in Green Day, or just circumstantial? 

[Magic Rat]

Stummerville Sunday headliner is an hour and a half and is still TBA.

Billie Joe?

That's where was photographed back in 2019

Several things point to it: Their tour dates match up perfectly with glasto for 2020 and 2022, then there’s someone who heard they’d booked a room at a hotel near glasto, one of their supporting acts is also playing glasto from their tour and billie Joe attended the festival in 2019.

Billie Joe was there in 2019 is the biggest indicator imo - the festival has a history of having people come visit and check the place out before they play the following year. The tour dates aligning both in ‘20 and ‘22 is pretty damning too, but could definitely just be coincidental.

I think lots of tired Sunday legs will be giving this one a swerve

Yeah reckon so. 
 

I’d do it for Arcade Fire, cba for Jack.

Couldn't be a more disappointing cavalcade of crud.

Agreed. Highly likely there’s been contact between him and the festival. It’s not like he’d have got his ticket like a normal punter, Michael and Emily would’ve known he was there…

pretty much all of them have secret sets at Glasto before, not very fresh

I think Bastille must live in a cave nearby. They're always there.

I’ve stupidly convinced myself it’s going to be Green Day. Cannot wait for the utter disappointment when absolutely anyone else walks out. 
 

Imagine that tent for those opening chords of American Idiot though…

Ah Jack White on The Park will be ace, but not sure I’ll wanna schlep over from The Pyramid after Diana and then back there for Lorde. 

Exactly my concern.  And would miss the start of Lorde or end of Jack White to do it too!

I think if you’re planning on getting in/actually being able to see and hear Jack then you’d have to swerve off most of DRoss anyway as the Park field will fill up fast once she’s done.

Very very torn on doing DRoss in to Turnstile or Caroline Polachek in to Jack White - both sound like great times tbf.

Has the whole idea of the 50th anniversary been abandoned? Nobody seems to mention it at all anymore.

Because it's now the 52nd anniversary 

Feel a lot of people misunderstand that the 50th anniversary was not the 50th Glasto, but instead the 50th year since it started. I know a lot of my mates have, smart cookies in general life too

I was thinking this. The line-up isn't some spectacular standout in comparison to years gone past (notwithstanding a living, breathing Beatle).

Probably because it’s not the 50th anniversary. I’m sure they’ll still hint at it, but I think the ‘we’re back’ element will take front and centre instead.

Said it before but it’s very much a ‘greatest hits’ kind of lineup with a lot of old favourites and friends of the festival. Not a whole lot of massive surprises or shock factor acts, but lots of general crowd pleasers.

This is from the chief sign painter on sites instagram. George Ezra is the TBA John Peel act judging by this.

Fuck sake

[FloorFiller]

Literally the worst eventuality - now I’ve got not much to do early doors Sunday and have to choose between some essential stuff later in the day with Jack White now in the frame. 

[Billy Corgan's Ego]

Annoyed I let myself dream it could have been green day.

George Ezra 🤣

[mttJ]

Damn. Was convinced 1975 would be one of those two slots given the information, shame.
