2024 was a pretty golden line up for me so I feel ambivalent about it this time around. He's some I feel hopeful for somewhere on site.
Maribou State
Four Tet
Nick Cave
Charli XCX
HAAi
piglet
Leon Vynehall (missed him a couple of times at previous fests and need to make amends)
Floating Points
FKA Twigs
Tourist
What is your actual point? A moment ago it was that they don’t have staying power; you’ve been given reasons why they do and now you’re moving onto something completely different. Was it a problem when Lana Del Rey only sold day tickets? No. BMTH are a mainstream metal band but they’re still a metal band. Of course their fans are more likely to buy a day ticket to their day rather than a weekend ticket to a festival that isn’t going to cater to them as much.
They’ve released one album since 2021.
They can sell weekend tickets by peppering in shite across the weekend that appeals to 16 year school leavers whilst leaving the headline slots to bands that actually produce a full show and spectacle people will pay a day ticket to genuinely see and enjoy?
Isn’t that the very definition of longevity and the reason why they will be headliners in 10 years? People aren’t going to be flocking to Central Cee and KSI in 10 years because they have one TikTok hit 🤣
