I can kinda see Muse being in the running. They are doinh festivals next summer and have yet to announce a UK fest. We know they won't be at Download and it seems unlikely they are at Glasto. It would be really weird if they just didn't do any UK fest.
Muse, Biffy and Bring Me would be GREAT. Seems Travis is likely - does that now (unfortunately) rule out Eminem? I'd much prefer Eminem over Travis personally. Can't see Charli XCX doing it purely as she's headlining Parklife. Wouldn't be bothered for Central Cee but he's the right genre, as they've done the likes of AJ Tracey etc. as a special guest in the past so makes sense.
2024 was the most fun I've ever had at a festival with all the wind at Wetherby like 😂 but yeah, Blink was BY FAR the standout for me last year, but I have some from like 2011, 2015 and 2017 that long stick in my mind, I need one like that as it's been a while 😅
I'd do Eminem closing the festival, BMTH on the Saturday with a rock-ish type day and Chappell on the Friday, maybe alongside Post Malone or something? Heavily balanced day-splits and overall for those attending the weekend. Would certainly sign me up!
I'm lucky to get extremely discounted tickets, so I'll go anyway. I just don't want it, as you lot are saying, to be mainly all rap, and wireless 2.0
