I can't prove a negative, I hope I'm wrong, I hope they turn up and I hope I'm there if they do. But I don't think it likely. Arctic monkeys seem a much better shout for a killers esque pre headline show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a secret set, not a full blown headline show. Not really much is needed, they are more than capable of bringing a couple of guitars with them.

I do just find it all a bit too coincidental for people not to be pushing this more? I’ve spent years on this forum and swear I’ve seen bands with way less evidence than this and they been labelled a shoo-in. There’s probably nothing in it, but I’m enjoying the hype.

AlexOvd Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 So now as strong secret sets rumour we have Paolo Nutini, The 1975 and Green Day 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having at least 4 strings on a guitar, a bass amp and some drums is enough for a party. Greenday Strummerville set confirmed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That timing - playing early doors before bolting for a big show the day after - might line up with that early afternoon JP slot. Either way, it was great.

Obviously we get a lot of that every year and it mostly proves to be bollocks, but it’s more than we’ve had on Green Day, who’s tour gap is clearly just a rest/travel day.

LinvoyPrimus Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 I guess another thing to factor in here is... assuming them or Arctic Monkeys are the early John Peel slot, that's a pretty risky bit of booking for a band that size. The Killers clashed with Barry Gibb (ish) and Chic. Massive crowd-pleasing Pyramid bookings. And Haim on the Other. Right now, that John Peel TBC is up against Herbie Hancock, Liane La Havas, Nightmares on Wax, and Warmduscher. Potential chaos if a headliner-sized act gets chucked on then.

Headlining R/L so couldn't be confirmed, album out this year, strong favourites to headline next year, not doing anything else, way more history with the festival...

Whoever it is will be massively oversubscribed regardless. Even if it was common knowledge in advance that it was only Paulo Nutini, you'd still get thousands of people turning up for it who expect it to be someone else. The whole secret set part always means there's a gargantuan crowd for that stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
