There 2019 MC headline show was the most boring MC headliner if ever seen, and the worst The National show if ever been too. I don't think those two fit very well together.

We had rumors of NIN coming to Europe this summer, I could very well see them as MC exclusive
Curveball, but The National maybe? They played everywhere last year(s), including Primavera, but not Mad Cool (or NOS Alive). Het they seemed like they teased that band a few months back on their IG page. Seems like the type of band who would be cool to do some one offs after their long tour.
Just been listening to the newest Jesus Lizard album (a few months late). Really enjoying it, impressed that after a break of about 25 years they still have the same energy, all in their 60s now. I like the agressive, raw sound, the band still sound as tight as ever, and I like the humourous lyrics about some very contemporary themes, even with their age. For people who like their music noisy. Doing a few festivals next year too so I wouldn't actually be surprised if they popped up at the farm, early Park stage maybe.
I'm having this line of thought elsewhere tbf. I was up for a trip to see Muse, Korn, Biffy Clyro & Kaiser Chiefs at Pinkpop in the Netherlands, maybe as part of a big Dutch/German odyssey, but at 150 Euro+ for a day ticket and in an area of Holland with very little accommodation available on the cheap, not so much.
