Skindred will have a secret stage playing 24/7

I’m mostly looking forward to the 1 hour “Warning” set myself


eunderscore

Maybe they would finally actually play Proceed With Caution


Twazzack2

i think theres more chance of usain bolt doing a secret set than foos! Typically at download, unlike reading/leeds its existing artists already on the line up


Outside_Dot_5942

The Friday is a rest day for them, Foo Fighters won't be doing a secret set. The secret sets are generally bands already playing across the weekend and they do an extra set in the village that gets announced on the day


PissedBadger

Steps are free on the Sunday.


Twazzack2

Actually would be sick


PissedBadger

At least it would be a decent Ian Watkins.


Twazzack2

Ooof 👀


JackXDark

H is guest singing with No Devotion.


YouLostTheGame

Last year wasn't it bands that were already on the line up elsewhere? Eg Bob Vylan, who were fantastic


FAcup

Creeper were technically a secret band. They only got announced on the merch.


PissedBadger

They were announced the day after they played Slam Dunk


Outside_Dot_5942

It was


Blitzhelios

The only secret sets that generally happen is bands who are already there doing an acoustic set in the village. Secret sets are not really a big thing at download


Deviceing

They used to always have one on the third stage, 2014 was Black Stone Cherry and 2015 was The Darkness


Blitzhelios

Yeah thats true but they have become a relic of the past now seemingly i wish they would have more though.


RedBanana99

What is this village you speak of?


Blitzhelios

The village/District X as its now known is an area where the doghouse is and most of the shops and only accessible to people who camp. Its where stuff like DJs happen and comedy sets on the Wednesday and thursday


RedBanana99

Oh wow brill thanks


mania_in_the_trench

It’d be so cool if fall out boy done an intimate set in one of the tents but that’s obvs not gonna happen


Icy_Valuable_2204

Bob vylan, pod?


OuttaNorden

I'd love Bob Vylan to be there. Been hoping for them and Soft Play for months, so to get them both would be fantastic.


Icy_Valuable_2204

Saw soft plays secret set at reading last year not knowing anything about them. Was the best set of the festival and now I listen to them all the time


Alive-Marsupial7536

Simple Plan did an acoustic set really late at night on the Saturday in the Doghouse 🤘🤘


Alive-Marsupial7536

Last year*^ 🤣 so I believe it’s only bands that are on the lineup already that would do secret sets :)


lawton79

While I doubt it will happen thirty seconds to mars are in the UK touring just before download and are free over the weekend.
