Would somewhat defy the point of a secret set if they said otherwise though 

yeah, but usually don't have outright denials do we? Just don't respond

[NorthernSoul52]

Not sure if it has been mooted, and it is not going to blow many people away in the grand scheme of things, but...

Kaiser Chiefs, somewhere on a TBA. Got Lytham the following week and no real immediate warm-ups before hand. (They do play Bridlington Spa this Saturday.)

[Green Bear]

Hoping Niall Horan is a TBA slot, can’t do glasto next year because of his tour but he is definitely active this summer

That'd be a decent shout, actually.

Some of these are correct. Some of these are me stirring the pot further. See you in the fields.
 

Pyramid: Foo Fighters

Friday Woodsies: Pulp

Saturday Woodsies: Amazons

Park: Bloc Party

Greenpeace: Fatboy Slim

Rabbit Hole: Fatboy Slim

Temple Fri: Peggy Gou

Temple Saturday: OMG TBA 

Temple Saturday: Overmono

Platform 23 Saturday Takeover: Hospitality 

I'd take Bloc Party in that slot 100%.*

 

 

 

*As long as Pulp are playing somewhere already.

Bloc Party just a guess oooor? Would be a nice addition imo

[NorthernSoul52]

The Pyramid and Woodsies spots on Friday clash, don't they? Blimey, if it was Foo Fighters and Pulp, that would help split overcrowding to a point - but imagine one being wrong and botching your pick too.

Surely not Amazons on Saturday Woodsies. They aren't anywhere near big enough to get that slot if they were announced, so surely won't be there as a secret, which is implied to be bigger than the slot it's in.

Personally I'm hoping for, based on Euro tour schedules at the time, Bon Iver or Florence And The Machine. Maybe ambitious, but a man can dream.

[NorthernSoul52]

Just how big are The Amazons?

Graham playing in Dublin with the Waeve on Friday, Blur playing Dublin on the Saturday so would seem impossible

Fair play to Graham, actively touring with two bands simultaneously. When I saw Waeve on Jools, I assumed it had been recorded ages ago or was an old episode, but he's actually doing them both at once?

[FuzzyDunlop]

Pyramid - Foos / A tribute to Taylor Hawkins

Woodsies - The Prodigy & Kasabian

Park - Pulp

 

They are a prediction

Was thinking Paolo nutini could be one of the TBAs in the park or woodsies

I have completely given up on Bon Iver turning up at Glastonbury again 😅 will have to make do with Justin guest slots

He is - just watched them at Primavera. Blur play on Thursday.

I can’t see Pulp not showing up in one of the Pyramid/Woodsies/Park slots.

Friday Pyramid: Foos/Pulp

Friday Woodsies: Kasabian

Saturday Woodsies: The 1975

Saturday Park: Paolo Nutini

Would happily interchange any of those with Florence/Bon Iver.

[strides]

The Prodigy are everywhere at the moment. And free over the weekend. 

[March Hare]

Watch Bryan Adams show up for the Mel C set. He has a gap!

Sweating lunatic Iggy Pop?

Duran?

Yungblud?

All have GSHs

Always maintained Bryan Adams would be a terrific legends slot pick, so can only assume he's either wants the headline slot outright or he wants too much dosh for it.

Ongoing MH discourse aside, The 1975 would put on a cracking hour; thought they were musically terrific on the Big Weekend feed the other night.

But could only see them doing it if it was a lead-in to a 2024 headline slot, and if Foo Fighters are on the Pyramid in what feels more like a lead-in for such a gig, that would be two already booked up. Reckon they'll skip it and only return - if in the next five years - for a Pyramid slot outright.

Considering Self Esteem is playing Bristol on the Sunday then seems like a good fit for one of the Saturday TBCs?

[Pr0paneNightm4re]

If The Amazons are a secret set then they’d probably be on BBC Introducing. They’re just not a big draw 

[Pr0paneNightm4re]

I reckon one of the Woodsies TBAs could be The 1975 as they’ve got a GSH and are one of the biggest U.K. touring acts at the moment and could be playing very high up at Glastonbury soon

Only dampener on this is that they’re undoubtedly waiting for the headliner call, possibly for next year, so doing a secret set this year would probably make that less likely, unless they’ve already been told they’re not doing next year and doing a secret set is getting them in the good books for a future festival.

The Friday BBC Introducing set could be The Mysterines. They’re touring with AM and Hives who are both playing that day. New single out, just premiered on Radio 1

The Killers did their secret set a couple years before their last headline. 
By next year The 1975 will have finished this current cycle (already seems to be drawing to a close)
So maybe secret set this year and headline 2025?
