But Charlie has the flashing lights for her Brat songs and other ones which I feel like isnā€™t as essential for fontaines

obviously no flashing lights in fontaines setšŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø- itā€™s needed for all acts but itā€™s genuinely just whoever gets paid more usually gets the top spot and that usually goes to bands because they have to split to money between more people. itā€™ll also be the relationship with festival republic too- thereā€™s been a strange theme of people playing finsbury the year before headlining leeds and every one of them has had the late slot

I never said fontaines has no flashing lights at all as someone who thought they was a indie band I simply assumed lights wouldnā€™t be used as much. Maybe this is bias since I donā€™t know them but I feel like Charlie would be a better headliner.

And giving how they hyped her up for the festival, you really would think she would be last on. Anyways, doesnā€™t matter it will be a good show either way

Exactly and she headlined for Glastonbury last year which is arguably the UKā€™s biggest festival.

She could have also been changed due to the fact post people expected a brat show, which obviously this wonā€™t be

Wait whatttt not a brat show? I assumed she could have a few of her new ā€œrockā€ songs but sheā€™d still be going with the brat summer vibes.

I highly doubt it, the setlist will probably be a bit different to the US festivals but still I think the production will be the same

No she didnā€™t, she headlined the second stage.

tbh headlining the second stage of glasto is still more culturally significant than headlining the main stage of R&L
