For example, Burna Boy last year, which near enough everyone seemed to miss.

I do it all the time mate. When I see a notification I think "oh dear, what did i write?"

In recent memory, which lineups featured 3 top-tier headliners? It feels like the exception rather than the norm when you analyse it. 2009, 2011 & 2013 look pretty stacked, 2004 looks strong too. 2020 would have been the goat but of course never happened, but 2022 was strong. As was 2023. Years in which Coldplay definitely look strong because they're a massive act but also basically a house band and there is no challenge associated with booking them. These things happen in waves and it's very much driven by the supply side. A few years ago, booking a big american pop-star would have been quite a challenging act but now there's almost an oversupply. That will change too in time.

Has anyone else got an interview with Fai Watu today? Just sat waiting for 30 minutes to be let in to the virtual meeting room. No reply to emails either. I'm assuming they have an issue 

Is Fred playing any UK shows this year? Thought rumour was he was burning out and needed a break
