Not beyond the realms of possibility. She's got a bunch of US tour dates until 21st June, then she's in Dublin on 3rd July. Also headlining BST later that month.

 

So active, playing festivals, and in the right part of the world at just about the right time...

 

But as noted on another thread, secret sets tend to be by acts with a preexisting relationships to the place - the 'friends of the festival' types.

Yeah that's true. Maybe they agreed not to announce her until later so BST get a bigger sales period.

 

Or maybe I'm clutching at straws.

Nia Archives is my Saturday morning soundtrack 😀

there's something on the Pyramid they want to pull people away from

There’s not really a need to do this with pyramid though is there, given its size?

The Danny Brown-PJ Harvey clash is a horrible prospect.

 

PJ's show is superb, but the chance to see some brilliant alternative hip hop... it's a close call. 

 

Solid line-up for the WH in general too.

Sorry if I’ve missed it but is this in Friday-Saturday-Sunday order as you go down the poster?

Yeah that clash would be a pain for me too 🙁 especially annoying as it looks like before then there isn't a lot on I'd be interested in.

Yeah, the blandness in the slot before (Keane, Sugarbabes, Bombay) is pretty lacking on the main stages thus far. I would've thought PJH would be better as a headline on Woodsies as well tbh instead of Gossip too.

You might be able to do a bit of pj then move onto Danny B? That's my plan anyway then back for LCD

The stage is going up in readiness… 😊

I’ve said this for years, west holts and the park fields would make a solid small festival for sure! 
 

edit: even the food and drink options would be decent.

I wonder given the demand for Glasto tickets, if you created another festival with WH, Park and Woodsies, with Greenfields and a dance element, maybe in the North, weekend after whether it would give the bands playing those stages a better deal...Imagine if the WH was in an open area that could accommodate way more and the festival was closed by the Legend...

Gutted to miss two of them but there’s no way that LDP aren’t one of the sets of the weekend

With Coldplay doing their headline set pretty cheap for the festival as per. Surely the festival will have a budget for a bigger name secret set (unless they're trying to maximise profit)?

Less signings this year than normal. Strange that some of the acts lower down the bill aren't doing them. Would have thought it's a good opportunity to hawk merch.

Really looking forward to the Skatalites this year.  Have been listening to some albums in the car, and it will get Saturday going in a feel good way.
