Lineup 2018

[WFD]

Or to put it another way, if the Radio 1 stage line up doesn't get completely filled out soon (there are only 10 acts on two of the days and 11 on the other - at Leeds at least, I've not checked Reading), there's a fair chance there's at least one big secret set happening.

What’s the point in secret sets? Obviously they don’t shift tickets

In a way, they do. People are romantic about the idea of some big band playing in a smaller slot at the festival, gets them more likely to go along despite a shitty lineup. Now it's a regular thing, people are discussing who it might be before the line up is announced.

It works for the band too - the secret sets always get a lot of attention, most of the reviews will mention them and when it's someone like QOTSA it makes the mainstream media. For QOTSA it was their album launch date so it was ideal for them.  Loads of coverage for turning up and playing for half an hour or so without putting too much effort into production.

Theres screenshots at the the bottom of page 640 and 641 on this thread ?

[pepesilvia]

the real point of the secret set is to keep the efests R&L thread at least somewhat popping every year till the festival arrives

I don’t know, it’s not like the terms of his bail prevent him from playing, and the festival should treat him as ‘innocent until proven guilty’.

That’s not to say he won’t pull out himself though.

He has posted saying he is going to have to ‘do some time’ so I can’t see him playing still.

I suppose when he pulled out of Wireless he was replaced with Frank Carter.

Oh right, all I'd seen is that he'd pleaded not guilty. God knows then!

His?

Completely forgot about that. I didn't think anyone believed it though. Like, how would nobody have posted a picture online?

[Stuielooie]

I can't remember if someone posted a photo showing the Merch. They could play Saturday Reading and Sunday Leeds.

No one posted a photo, any idea who mentioned it?

Noticed there's another nightlife stage at Leeds this year. Says it's hidden in the woods, I know it's "hidden" but any ideas on where this could be with Relentless Stage already being in the woods?

Nice to see they're making more of an effort with Piccadilly Party this year with DJ sets announced already.
