Well, I'm travelling from Somerset to Reading just for this...
Our youngest is a huge Chappell Roan fan and since we've only managed to bag them a Sunday Glasto ticket and they will be home alone for the Glasto week, Friday at Reading is their compensation.
Should CR end up at Glasto on the Sunday, we might reconsider (the journey to/from Reading is a PITA)
Can't say that I'm thrilled at the prospect but YOLO and it's only money....
I know it isn;t a concious effort to destroy their product and identity... like I said, it's the world we live in these days where music I consoider to be commercial trash is extremely popular. Having said that, there was always mainstream music but the dofference was they had their own festivals. For whatever reason, it's all started to bleed into each other and hardly any festivals these days have a distinct identity. I can't quite put my finger on why because it's not as if the appetite for purely rock or purely pop has gone...
