Just last year, Raye played 3rd down at Boardmasters.
After releasing nothing, and with nothing coming up, she is now headliner.
Jorja Smith though was during the era where the festival was attracting the smaller headliners. They were having acts headline like Two Door Cinema Club, Skepta, Catfish and the Bottles, Alt-Jay, James Bay.
Jumping to Stormzy, Sam Fender, Kings of Leon, Disclosure, Florence & the Machine, Liam Gallagher, Lorde, and then going to Prodigy and Raye seems very 2 steps forward, 1 step back.
I'm a little disheartened, I'd booked childcare for the long weekend and was signed up for early release tickets. Now I'm thinking for an extra hundred each, I can go to Reading and I just need to wait to see if Eminem, Travis Scott, Post Malone etc get booked.
