Yeah, Arcadia, Friday, 23.00 - 1.00. Worst kept secret ever, especially the last week or so where they seem to be openly promoting it. Gutted I’m gonna be missing it. 

[Pinhead]

Ah so this is already common knowledge as I've seen it listed.

I’ll always remember Reading in 2008 where they had band called The FFers (eff effers) playing the BBC Introducing stage. Word got round in the build up to the festival it was the Foo Fighters and the FFers Myspace page was riddled with clues, hints and easter eggs.

Queue slot time, at least 10,000 people are gathered around this tiny stage and this random band come out with Foo t-shirts on with a shit eating GOTCHA grin on their faces. Never seen so many bottles thrown in my life.

Rumour has it they are still getting pelted to this day!

Are all their gigs not DJ sets?

Remember it well! There used to be a video on YouTube but I can’t seem to find it.

Not remotely. They have loads of synthesisers on stage, it's not just mixing pre-recorded audio.

[Pinhead]

Fair enough; I'm being mildly facetious.

And I'm being mildly pompous, as I realised after I posted with a giant hook in my mouth 😂

[Pinhead]

No apology necessary mate. See you at the meet?

My plan is Four Tet but I must admit, especially after Jon Hopkins, The Chems is incredibly tempting.

Thinking of an early exit from Foals to get a spot in Arcadia
