Pretty odd take. Not really sure where to start.  Music isn't static and Olivia is in the conversation to headline Glasto and others. They know their market and have put something together that speaks to it. Much like Andy Copping was saying at the Download launch, they have to move with the times.... 

We're a bit above that, and tbh for my taste I think we're bursting at the seems and ideally would get below 20 at some point (through attrition, of course, ideally not eviction).   When people complain about large groups, they do have a fair point in that - correctly managed - a large group does give a numbers advantage specifically when it comes to things like people piling on to help the last few over the line. But the key phrase there is "correctly managed".   It's very common to underestimate the absolute f**kload of work that goes into managing that, and making sure everyones data is correct, they're all on the same page and pulling out all the stops. The bigger the group, the more difficult that becomes and even with delegated responsibility it's something we struggle with every year and did again this year.   It only takes a fairly small number of people to take what they have for granted, and decide to sleep in on the Sunday morning, for that numbers advantage to very quickly turn to a numbers disadvantage.   So yeah, thank the person doing the legwork in your group.

I think there were rumors of Eminiem from both here and the Discord from different people who have had “inside information.” But some of those rumours came with “he’s been offered” or “he’s been approached” or “final negotiations” not actually booked. But this was now around a month or so ago so and we’ve stopped hearing his name lately, which makes it seem like it maybe went away.
