If Allan Toilet the hard right headcase that runs Coachella can pay The Weeknd $4M to do a poorly received set with 10 days notice then why can't Emily Eavis simply do the same rather than some simple re-arranging of the running order?
The fact that she turned down a secret set suggests that she still sees herself as a headliner.
Time will tell how big an own goal that turns out to be.
Dua and The Killers are in very different positions so it's not like for like.
I agree George Ezra could go on the shortlist.
Dave I don't see for the same reason as Dua - he'll have his eyes on a bigger prize.
