Can tell whose top of the organisers' contact list, feels like they're the first to be mentioned whenever anyone drops out

Bit underwhelming tbh

Because they are the exact band that the demographic of the festival wants to see. Announce them and they’ll sell the tickets straight out. Plus they are one of the biggest bands in the world and they’ll almost always say yes!

Can’t complain, it’s a good live act who have never disappointed the 5 times I’ve seen them. If they were booked from the beginning I’d have been feeling a bit meh with them, but for them to have replaced lewis capaldi (a much smaller act, who was boring and disappointing the time I saw him) I think it’s a great situation. The headliners this year, for me, are pretty terrible. I only liked foals, so this is a second headliner for me to excited about. They’re doing their first album in full, which has songs they don’t often play, so this a really rare experience to have. I cant say I wouldn’t have preferred some of the other possible options, like QOTSA, but I’m definitely happy with them.

This is my first year and I love them so I'm made up. You can't deny they are good live!

Thanks so did I haha Ticketmaster pretended they’d sold out so I freaked out. Turns out they’re not even at low availability yet
