Nduja Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 (edited) Churnups was good. Would have never seen them in a 'native' slot for them but was a no-brainer against not very much else. My personal perspective is I'd rather the slot remained a scheduler's tool in their toolkit to surprise and enthral rather than something that was a priced in aspect of the festival along with the Legend and Headliner. It's already a wonderful and varied programme and I'm not sure another appointment slot is really needed. From the festival's perspective, it's probably the other way around if they want to continue to book the biggest acts and create the most hype and anticipation around the event. In addition to that, it provides them an additional lever to book acts that they couldn't otherwise and circumvent commercial constraints that they may be subject to. For that reason, I'd bet on it to remain, if there is an act out there willing to do the slot. The other reason I'd bet on it is that the purported Friday acts for positions 2 and 3 look on the weak side from a popularity perspective even if they are highly critically acclaimed acts with a cult following. So here's my plucked out of nowhere shout. Beyonce doing a Cowboy Carter set. Edited April 11 by Nduja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CantWaitForGlasto22 Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 Would love to see The Killers do Hot Fuss in full before their Vegas residency as a Churnups slot. Their tour dates have such a clear Glastonbury shaped hole. But I accept it’s probably wishful thinking. Pulp or Vampire Weekend secret sets would be great.

Olshansky Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 the pearl jam thing I can see because if they do a secret set, it kinda lets them off the hook for not offering tickets to Ten Club members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope the whole churnups thing doesn't become standard. I find it weird to expect a surprise. Not a huge fan of there almost having to be secret sets as well.

wro_lap Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Here's a question. Has there ever been a secret set by a band who hasn't played the festival before? Notable ones I can think of had all played before: Pulp, Radiohead, Foo Fighters, The Killers, Foals, Jack White, Elbow, Hozier, George Ezra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
