No doubt headliners are weaker than last year. Having LDR, The National and Pulp really would have driven sales. Saying that though, i think only the Lana day sold out. It will be interesting to see whether the change of approach (which i assume is intentional to have a stronger undercard but weaker headliners) leads to zero sellout days this time around. Whilst Charli XCX is the biggest headliner, i cannot see the other two selling tickets. They went big (or popular) on headliners for Barcelona and it has paid off.
I'm unsure, Liverpool have been getting away with it so far this season.
Could be very tight this season, wouldn't rule out someone like Chelsea winning it.
City certainly have it to reel in one team.
Gig prices are getting ridiculous now. £175 for front standing, £115 for rear standing. Loved Lana since the beginning and not seen her since the Lust for Life tour but not sure I can justify this. Already smashed my personal gig price record twice this year.
Thankfully most acts I listen to these days play small venues.
