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.

    • 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.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
