The churnups

[JRhys29]

Worth pointing out just how large the slot is at 1 hr 15 minutes - bigger than Royal Blood, Lizzo & Lil Nas X all of whom are subbing.

On that alone I doubt it's Wet Leg - they only have one album worth of material and that album is just over 30 minutes long.

They are definitely potentials for one of the other slots

Wonder when we’ll actually know.

Pretty sure when The Libs were the mystery sub in 2015 it was on here a few days beforehand?

Can we read anything into the fact that on the efestivals line up and rumour page, Pulp are still down as a STRONG RUMOUR but Foo Fighters aren’t even mentioned?

Case closed. Neil knows!

Dave Rowntree said Blur didn't want to retread old ground, so whilst ruling out another Pyramid headline slot - an ad hoc set like this would fall into a 'new' thing. Size is comparible (sort of) to the warm up gigs they have been doing.

Just checking in - where has mention of Blur come from?!

Just had a thought, are Pulp the Park TBA on Sat at 19:45? That is exactly the time and day they played in 2011. Could be a nice touch to repeat it?

That clashes with Lizzo and I won't even hear of it! 😅 Pyramid or bust!

I dread to think the reaction this would get

The field will be churned up by the mass exodus of Foo Fighter/Plup fans.

Graham Coxon has rescheduled a gig he was due to play on the Friday due to "scheduling conflicts". Not exactly confirmation that blur are playing but no obvious other conflict.

Would say it's more likely Marcus is doing the Park slot on his own, fits a bit better

[sprocketrocket]

Its a Britpop super group - Hear me out...

I know this probably isn't a factor in the decision-making behind this slot but I do find it laughable that they'd bend over backwards to convince everyone Lizzo is a co-headliner to assuage complaints about gender equality, yet only give her an hour, and then give a longer Pyramid set to an all-male/male-dominated band playing third down on a different day. 

Maybe female acts aren't the 'secret' type but I do find it funny that all the common suggestions for a secret slot (Pulp, Foos, Blur, Hozier, Mumford, 1975) are mostly if not entirely male. Who's the most likely non-male act to turn up unannounced? Florence?

But why surround Florence with all the intrigue?

Go on then. Where did they do this?

Available but highly unlikely as it would create the only back to back shows on his European tour. 

[Steffie1986]

To be fair they did put her on the top line of the poster which I took to sort of mean this.

[Steffie1986]

Sorry that was in reply to “where did they do this” but I clearly have zero clue how to quote
