Secret Set Joys

[Euphoricape]

I don't class the 'TBA' sets as secret. Everyone knows who's playing well in advance and they are always absolutely rammed. Kasabian this year at Woodsies was a joke, couldn't get anywhere near the tent.

I saw Fatboy Slim play Maceo's staff bar in Block 9 in 2013, a friend not at the festival was watching out on Twitter for any secret sets.  There were only about 100 people in there. A password was needed to get in (we weren't staff) and we took a guess at Eat Sleep Rave Repeat and it worked!  🎧😂

I remember that year, I was off the festival and trawling the socials sending any tips to @fatyeti24. Can't remember if he got in for that one, but I certainly enjoyed the challenge of trying to find the sets..

 

In hindsight, a dry run for SecretGlasto a couple of years later (it actually started in 2014, but I wasn't involved then)

There were 6 sets over the weekend. Apologies it's a bit blurred, I took a photo of someone's T-shirt with all that the venues.

I've just remembered what happened (I think). I sent him to Maceos, but he couldn't get in because I didn't know there was a password until he was back at camp!

Think I accidently caught some of three of those - WOW was absolutely rammed so we prioritised Rabbit Hole, which was pretty great. Back in the day before secret sets spread like wildfire.

 

Thom & Johnny in 2010 was unbelievable, as was Wolf Alice in Williams Green the week their debut album came out. 

 

One I never see referenced is Warpaint on a tiny corner stage of the Greenpeace in 2014. Must have been about 30 of us there at most.

I got one of the words wrong but they let us in! I said Drink instead of Rave. Mixed it up with King Crimson's - Sex Sleep Eat Drink Dream! 😂 Is @fatyeti24 married to Joyce?
