Didn't get Bugg get a large crowd last year on the Pyramid, which might explain his high placing?

But then if most people who caught him last year thought he was dire then they're unlikely to want to repeat the experience.

Isn't Paolo Nutini known for getting drunk and being rubbish live? (I'm sure I've heard this) Maybe this was too big a risk for a headline slot?

Have I missed something, why would Nutini get a huge crowd?

because his latest album has been massively hyped up and people are lapping it up like a thirsty dog.

it's a surprise to lots of people, but he's been one of the biggest selling acts (both recorded and in the flesh) of the last five years or so.

Jake Bugg is very popular and will get a pretty big crowd, particularly with younger people. Reading have also given him a really big slot. These people know what they're doing, even more so than we do. Maybe we should just leave it at that and move on.
