Maybe I'm wrong, but can't see the place being that empty in the day on the Friday. Spiritualized, John Grant and Baxter Dury all fill sizeable venues given their daytime slots at this mid sized festival. Plus, as it's curated by the headliner,  tastes between the crowd and the band generally overlap a good amount. Anyway, I'd much rather be at them than spending my money watching Natasha Beddingfield and Rizzle Kicks that's for sure...

I recently ranked all 18 pyramid headliners I've seen, for fun. Stormzy came top with his very short set with Arcade Fire and Macca with his 3 hour marathon shortly behind. So I'm not especially sure it matters.

My wish list: Chappell Roan self esteem ezra collective Run the jewels sade gaga charli xcx Lola young kneecap barry can't swim holysseus fly hall & oats  

Imagine no guests for The 1975, and possibly one apiece for Olivia Rodrigo and Sam Fender.   Noah Kahan is the logical shout for the latter if present, though personally, I'd love for it to be Mark Knopfler for a romp through Sultans of Swing.

Hypothetically, a hodgepodge supergroup covering the Rush album Moving Pictures, but realistically, Weezer.
