Might be going mad here but I can't see a gap for a secret set near the Distillers at Leeds? 

Oh, is it not at Leeds? There was one at Reading so I just assumed it was the same. App only shows me the Reading times.

The Pit schedules are different that day at each site - Reading has the gap opposite the Distillers, Leeds has one at the start of the day (first act doesn't start til 12.40, whereas at Reading they start at 12).

Can’t believe it’s a couple of days a way and we don’t have even a hint as to who the secret set will be

This is why I don't want LG to headline

Who does everyone recommend I should go and see on the Foos day (Reading Sun Leeds Fri)? I thought it was a really weak undercard but reading on here a lot of people seem to have it down as their best day. All I’ve really got at the moment is Vistas, The Snuts, The Amazons & Sundara Karma (although with both I think their second album is very poor) and Foos (and I don’t even know if I really want to be there for three hours)

Mantra, The Distillers, FIDLAR, The Mysterines.

1) Foo Fighters 

2) Mini Mansions

3) ADTR

I don't know where you saw them but when we went to the Manchester gig on good Friday NC got a huge reaction. Granted we got there late so only really saw the last song a half from Vistas and we saw it from the back but it definitely didn't look like the crowd was as into it as they were for Night Café which I was near the front for. Besides, I think NC are a quite a bit more known than Vistas in general and they also have more material, but I was also surprised Vistas weren't a little higher

Both bands are good, personally I prefer NC

As for my top 3 for the weekend: Blossoms, Royal Blood and Anteros

Proximity to Liverpool while supporting Circa Waves presumably. Also not sure why Night Cafe are above Sea Girls either...

Foos, Blossoms and Peace for me. I see this as strength in depth, not many real stand outs

 if Chvrches and Sundara weren't clashing with foo fighters I'd be happier (and chvrches would be in that list) but I knew that when I got tickets.

First secret set confirmed then

[Jericode]

They've actually announced him properly, he's listed on the app.

What's weirder is they haven't added the two replacement bands Dan Carter announced yet.

I’m just glad they’ve resisted the temptation to put him in The Pit as a replacement for the rappers that pulled out, after all he has played in the Pit before(I think)

[Tom Connolly]

is Scarlxrd only Reading?

They have now 

[Jericode]

2:55 for Bad Nerves, 3:50 for Dinosaur Pile-Up. Both look like half hour slots.

Still the biggest crime of the year that they didn’t book Denzel Curry

He’s in America. I reckon they would have booked him if he was available.

[TornShaun]

Just listened to 'Back Foot' by Dinosaur Pile Up as never heard of them! Really like it, might have to watch them now!

[Diamond24]

Have Bad Nerves and Dinosaur Pile Up filled up a spot that we previously had down as a secret set then?

Foos are on for so long that I can see the start and then another good hour or so either side of Chvrches. Never seen Chvrches before, just gotten into them recently so they're a big must-see for me - worth missing the middle of Foos for.

I've seen CHVRCHES twice, once at Leeds in '16 and then at Parklife last year. They're really good live, definitely worth checking out. I've never seen Foos so am thinking of maybe catching a bit of both, but I don't want to miss too much of FF if they end up playing my favourite tunes when I'm not there!

I think Anteros is that day, and they're class. Give them a listen and if you like them check them out cos they're good live.

The Liverpool thing is a good point, but I just think they are getting pretty big, I often come across fans of theirs on twitter. I'm happy for them, I think they're a genuinely very decent band and good live, too.

I don't know him that well but I'd love to see him do Bulls On Parade
