I think the size of The 1975's crowd will depend on who's playing elsewhere at same time. If it's Charli xcx, Nick Cave, Pulp or prodigy etc then will likely be a lot smaller than if it's Loyle Carner.

I thought Crystal Palace Park was 15,000? Also they’ve got Weezer co-headlining or supporting (not sure what it’s being billed as, but they’re a much bigger support than Korn had).    Regardless, I do agree that Download will be looking at Deftones as a potential headliner in future years. We can probably put Limp Bizkit, NIN and The Smashing Pumpkins comfortably in that bracket now too. 

Yeah, definitely nothing til January now. Spain is in holiday mode...

Israel launches dozens of airstrikes on Syria despite rebel leader's peace pledge | Syria | The Guardian   I guess Israel using same reasoning that Putin did with his denazification self defence thing before invading Ukraine.

All bands are in that category until they break through into the public consciousness.   Fontaines DC sold out a 40,000 event this Summer, they would have been way off that the year before. That's the point - their star is rising fast. That they have headliner stage presence doesn't hurt too.
