Well that pisses all over the rumoured Travis Scott, Chappell Roan, Hozier and Central Cee. I would not pay to see any of those artists and Leeds will struggle this year if that is the line up. Yes some of these artists have many plays on Spotify and yes they sell well for their own gigs, though how many Travis or Chappell Roan fans are going to want to camp in a windy field in Wetherby! 

I love Vampire Weekend's encore thing. Feels like the sort of thing that SHOULD be happening in an encore.

The lack of promotion is what I was more or less getting at, we don't get new music from the old pre-covid channels and if you don't make a song that matches the vibe of streaming public playlists (or your label doesn't pay to get you on there) then people will be unaware you have new music unless they are dedicated fans that have been waiting for the release for ages.

Ah that makes sense why Gaz Brookfield always deliberately misspells both tickets and sold.

They replaced The Strokes. Who were even further away from releasing album 2.
