That Fred burnout line is interesting. Is that new info? I had 'he's a no go' a few weeks back, which I just (probably wrongly) presumed could be due to him finally playing some big UK gigs, but the burnout thing probably stacks up.
If we're talking someone 'stepping in', if he was indeed a planned headliner, I imagine that is the 1975.
Yeah that Architects set at Download in 2023 was incredibly dull. The setlist was crap and the performance was just plodding...they've just become so stagnant. Blown out by Pendulum beforehand too
