The laaaaast time..

Chat was that they were offered Pyramid sub for 2025 and turned it down, if I recall.   They'll need a late 2026 / early 2027 record that matches or eclipses the commercial success of Romance to be on the level, likely with a winter arena tour proper around that time. They sell three nights at The O2, then we are talking.   I would also take them as a credible "young" and "homegrown" (for a given definition) headline option if they have bagged two mega-stars to top elsewhere - for argument's sake, let's say Rihanna and Lady Gaga.

We're all just expressing our Hopes and Fears here.

Keane been and gone. Dodged them now for 2025.

There is another factor at work though, namely that I have as much chance of being approached to play Radio 1 Big Weekend as Sharon Van Etten does. I'm not sure she'd even be on 6 Music Festival's radar.
