This has gotta be a troll 😂 a festival with 5000 acts and a single one is going to ruin the festival for you 

Although it ruining the festival entirely is a bit over the top, considering some of the acts being touted for these TBA slots, George Ezra is definitely a ginormous kick in the balls. The most boring beige eventuality imaginable.

Don't think he'll do 2 secret sets but could imagine JW rocking up at strummerville with a guitar and doing half an hour. 

The guy lives for secret show to be honest, the whole Under Great White Northern Lights tour with the White Stripes, they played pop up gigs in the cities they were at earlier in the day.

 

Dead Weather did a secret Park show. He attempted to play guitar for Last Shadow Puppets one year.

 

and I saw him play on Damien Hirst's balcony last September for the grand opening of TMR London.

I do love how some seemingly hate George Ezra they’re actually questioning what is quite clearly happening 😂

Yeah, he's blatantly playing that slot. Unless that's an old sign from another year (he's not played JP before has he), it's a dead cert. They know he's not a H&S risk, they just want to soft-announce him. It's Ezra for sure.

Gold rush kid is a new release so it can't be from a previous year, unfortunately.

He played JP in like 2014 I think but his current album is called the Gold Rush Kid so very much a new sign.

You could wait for Thursday morning (I know it's easy for me to say!)

Oh, I'd happily wait - either way I'll probably be miss it due to getting distracted by something interesting happening somewhere else!

Well they have. It’s in their Instagram story from 3 hours ago.

Quite like the way they soft-announced it! Each act doesn’t get their own hand painted sign do they, so can imagine glasto will tweet that picture on the day

Yeah I think it’s a fun way to do it. Whether she was asked to tweet the picture or not, them sneakily announcing stuff like this seems to be the way they do things these days to stop thousands of people turning up to an act they hate. No point keeping them a total secret in this day and age - just put it out there in some way and let people find out.

No. It's just we love to speculate on unknowns. 

The line up is as strong as any other just, stronger imo, but there's definitely a Glastonbury effect of names going on to be huge afterwards and becoming more recognisable. 

E.g. Oasis playing 8th down the other stage in 94 (followed by pulp, blur and Radiohead on the same day)

Saw them all, and it was hot and sunny.  What a day that was.

JP crew info recd regarding food orders clearly suggests the JP TBA is a band....

...or someone with a very big appetite.

Makes this more interesting, has George Ezra gone full Pete Doherty?

Hmm maybe, but surely they know how much Glastonbury people like a sleuth. I mean, it took 3 hours which is longer than I expected, but now it’s totally out there for anybody who cares to know. I think she knew what she was doing - she could’ve photographed any other sign but she chose that one.

Whatever happened to the idea that the catering requirements meant it must be a band?

I guess he does have a backing band? Does he? I've no idea, I've heard his voice, I have no intention of standing in front of a stage with him on!

I always thought that meant nothing as almost every solo act who would be on a large stage would have a band as well.

    • 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.
