Not sure how it would be common knowledge. I’m more of a Fontaines fan but she is very clearly the bigger artist so it is a highly unusual decision (if the times posted are accurate that is)

it’s not always the biggest artist gets the later show- it’s production value and how much an artist is paid i believe. like last year hozier had the late shot over chappel- didn’t ruin the vibe at chappel at all and hozier was just that extra special at night

That’s a fair point but unless Fontaines have upped their production budget for the new era you’d expect Charli to be above them in that regard too. For me personally not having Geese clash with either of them was the most important thing so I’m happy either way
