Scrump Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 This doesn't seem to be the consensus here but... I really hope the whole churnups thing doesn't become standard. I find it weird to expect a surprise. Not a huge fan of there almost having to be secret sets as well. I know I sound like a right grumble guts !

I think Bristol post covered the story. edit - there it is - https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife/britney-spotted-bristol-airport-hints-8549291.amp - the amount of people talking about Elton’s secret guests was insane. I always feel like when it says.... Eminem has booked a room. Always dismiss as there is no way these huge acts books his own hotel rooms.... theres a start lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, but the Secret Sets are such a PIA I’d prefer a Churnups style thing. Saturday tea time 75 mins bang out the hits by an almost legend act as a regular slot would get my vote 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would prefer secret sets either like the churnups or non at all Hopefully the festival have stopped doing stupid things like Bastille on Thursday now.

Saturday tea time 75 mins bang out the hits by an almost legend act as a regular slot would get my vote Yeah I totally get this and don't get me wrong I was at the churnups/foos and it was awesome! Made better for me by the 1hr cap. But for it to be a thing every year would kill it for me. It would be possibly be a thing that I'd end up expecting to be perfect and then being disappointed with . Once and done for me ! Unless it's pulp.... Edited April 9 by Scrump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouserat Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 If we're doing a Churnups style slot again I'd like whoever it is to be bold enough to not post obvious clues online in advance. Put some fake band name on the Pyramid and leave us guessing until the day of with some well-placed clues on site/in the Glasto paper.

There's been far smaller secret sets in the past - could definitely be a woodsies / park one (or just join the lineup later, though seems unlikely for '24) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I'll bite haha. Christmas for me is good enough without the presents. Family, food, bit of telly. I'm super fortunate that these things are good in my house. Presents are good, sometimes amazing yes, but if you took them away from me I wouldn't be bothered. Glasto the same, it's bloody amazing and doesn't need the secret sets. They're good, sometimes amazing, but I can live without them. I've seen people spend time worrying about the quality of them etc when it feels like they could just crack on with enjoying the festival, which already has plenty to offer. Just my opinion, super happy to be in the minority. Id never tell someone else how they should enjoy the farm. Tbh this is one of those things you get to worry about then you've got a ticket so I'm gonna just appreciate that privilege! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
