Thought this article reflected the struggle of many uk fests quite well - especially those with limited camping space like Glasto

This all sounds splendid but there's no way they would ever have been headlining the Pyramid. Basement Jaxx had several huge hit singles (Red Alert, Romeo, "Bingo Bango", I feel like I'm also missing a really obvious one 🙂) and even them headlining it must have seemed fairly odd. It's not a direct comparison. I'm also unclear on the extent of actual work they did on the Olympics. A lot of things - McCartney, Arctics, Bowie on loop, can't have been their choices. Apparently Damon Albarn was asked to do it and declined (not sure why).
