Seems really strange they have not booked Pendulum for this stage instead of the main one? 

Agree with this, Pendulum would've been ideal at night under the LEDs, feel like they might've missed a trick with this one. 

 

Hopefully they won't be like Bicep in the daytime and not really hit

When do we think the map will be out? Next week?

been past the festival site today and it looks like the chevron stage is something akin to the second stage at glasto or what the second stage at download used to look like before covid

So it's an outdoor stage? How will the Silent Disco work if it's raining?

It was week of last year but with the set times already out it might come sooner

Hopefully they won’t sell out of headsets this year…

I don't like the sound of that

Not sure if it’s been discussed on here yet, but surely the secret slot on the FR stage on Friday at Reading/Saturday at Leeds is Soft Play? Playing Victorious on the Sunday.

Any evidence beside coincidental scheduling availability?

Didn’t they only play a secret set at last year’s festival?

My money’s on YMAS farewell gigs

[she bangs the drums]

I was thinking the secret set could be Biffy Clyro. Playing Halifax on the Friday. Could open the BBC Radio 1 stage at Reading on Saturday and Leeds on Sunday?

Scheduling mainly. But they’ve got a long history with R/L, plus is seems like they’ve played every other UK festival this summer so they may as well complete the set!

My mate is also convinced by this but he’s never been right before 😂

They’re headlining Victorious on Sunday, I doubt it

Don’t think they have anything going on but I think they’ll stick to Slam Dunk being their last festival show

Definitely Friday at Reading. Between bad nerves and loveless.

My bad, that was Mannequin Pussy’s slot which they’ve since pulled out of (was looking at the insta post from beforehand). Selfishly hoping it’s not Soft Play because I’ll be at Spiritbox but it well could be!

Going back to when you were talking about reunion sets at R&L, a Lower Than Atlantis comeback is overdue

What have the secret sets been like over the years? Last time i camped it was Them Crooked Vultures which is crazy really. Camping again this year and prepared to feel old af!

A mixed bag but generally guitar bands, BMTH, Nerd, Soft Play, Don Broco, Frank Carter, The Interrupters, The Sherlocks are ones that spring to mind for me. The 1975 until they were asked to step in and headline

Pendulum in 2022 stole the entire day frankly.

Less and less spectacular

 

Peaked at Green Day

 

QOTSA and BMTH followed, now we’re lucky to get the likes of Don Broco and Soft Play
