We watched him in Manchester in 2016 and he sang Santa Claus Is Coming To Town in May! 

Shouty Dave redemption arc incoming

Thing is, if it's not Stevie or Eminem or Rihanna (with the latter two having given the finger to the paltry fee) then there aren't many other names in the vicinity that scream Glastonbury headliner.   I dunno if they'll want a re-run of last year where they hoist someone up a level and it doesn't pan out    Maybe we've been too hasty to write off Green Day.    

Still questions over demand. I've spoken to people who reckon it'll go like hot cakes and others who think a twenty-five pound ticket the week before will be an easy one to sort.

It's not only costs, but there's also fewer of them (and even fewer it will be), so big actors like Live Nation that runs many of the major festivals, has no interest in tucking them all into one festival. I said it a few years ago that I predict that within about 10 years, these big festivals with mainly focus on music will be fewer and fewer as well, with many of them gone. There are simply not enough interesting bands to go around and all those formatted one hit wonders that are topping the charts has no chance of drawing the same audiences over time.
