2022 Secret Sets/Special Guests

[Hugh Jass]

A run down of how may or may not pop up on the farm despite not being on the poster...

Foo Fighters - Gigging Saturday and Monday but free Friday/Sunday. Perhaps not a full band secret set (but can't be ruled out) but I'd be shocked if Sprinty Dave didn't appear over the weekend in some capcity.

Florence and the Machine - Is playing Euro festivals but nothing on the slate for the UK yet (Latitiude?) Seems a strong contender for this year's "secret set with one eye on a bigger slot next year" place.

The 1975 - Rumours of a new album dropping on the Friday of GF and a secret set to launch it.

Mumford and Sons - Well we know they were going to do something in 2020 so maybe they've been asked back? The cancelling of one of the chief banjo botherers might make it less likely.

Chris Martin - It's when and where, not if. Just make your peace with him shuffling on stage during at least one set you're enjoying.

Dr Dre - Just imagine...

Green Day could be a contender - Friday, Sat and Monday gigs across London, Huddersfield and Dublin respectively.

I'm sure I've seen them say somewhere they're more than up for doing it

[Somto Unigwe Raphael]

The 1975 in the John Peel.

And then maybe Kasabian as well.

Thankfully Mumford don’t seem to be active.

There's a poster???

[Florian Saucer Attack]

If I were to bet I'd go for Florence and the Machine. Seems like the right move for them

Not yet, but it’s unlikely any of the above would be on it.

Forgot Kasabian, they're a decent shout to pop up somewhere.

Sports Team and Yard Act to play William's Green on the Thursday.

That would be bloody lovely.

That would be a fantastic start to proceedings.

Fancy a Kasabian set somewhere too - the lineup without Tom somewhat surprisingly sounds incredible live

Think they can only do Friday so I've got them for early JP and then later in the evening WG.

Slash coming on with Macca? Not sure how likely it is but I can dream.

Florence in John Peel.

Taylor on the Park doing an acoustic set 🥸

Would be funny for GNR to walk out on stage in Paris and realise top hat bloke isn’t there.

[fraybentos1]

Why would kasabian not just be on the poster?

I think the 1975 rumour came from the 1975's subreddit, and certainly seemed to be from someone in-the-know. I don't even think it was a Glasto rumour as much as a new album rumour, with a Glasto secret set note added to it. Would seem an odd thing to randomly tag on if it weren't true.. But that said, people be weird.

I'm expecting there to be a few 'special guests' slots on the major stages when the full line up comes out. Foals on the Park stage showed how it doesn't work having major acts on smaller stages, so the only way to do it is reserve big stage slots.

All three I reckon. Lunchtime somewhere - mid afternoon jolly for the radio - evening in WG. 

They're still free on the Sunday but it would be odd for them to go off site to Ireland and then come back.

These are always super random and not easy to predict.

Pretty sure the poster was confirmed as some rando rather than someone in the know

Sorry, that's me not being clear. I meant it was written in a way that came across like that. Of course, that doesn't really mean anything, I just thought it seemed legit. 

[curse these metal hands]

By the sounds of this the secret sets are going to to be a lot bigger than the headliners!

I think it came from their manager replying to comments on Instagram? Something along the lines of 'Will you be there?' 'Hopefully'

There was also a deleted post on their reddit that said something along the lines of: New album on Friday 24th June called The Problem Attic and a secret set on the JP on Glasto Saturday.

The Vampire Weekend secret set at The Park in the morning was brilliant, more like that please
