The secret set > headliner/playing the following year pipeline is actually far less of a thing than people make out. People always bring up The Killers doing it but we had info they were third in line to get the call in 2019 and basically a bit of a desperate booking when plans A and B didn’t work out, helped by the fact they were now on friends of the festival terms after their secret set. Usually an act doing a secret set means the complete opposite - that there’s nowhere for them on the announced lineup due to having already played too recently or not wanting to do a big stage, so they do a secret set instead, so probably a good thing Kasabian are doing it as it means they won’t be stinking up a high slot any time soon and we can still hold out hope that Pulp might eventually play next year (although starting to think, for whatever reason, it might be a no-go as I don’t know why they wouldn’t have played this or last year).
