Personally, I really hope he doesn't headline next year...because i won't be there, but that's the only reason. I really don't want to miss his first headline set, I'll be gutted beyond words. Loved his music when his streaming numbers were in the low tens of thousands, and it's been amazing to watch his career grow. I introduced him to a pal in Florida, I'd worked with. He's in his seventies and is a huge Springsteen fan. He believes that Fender will be as influential. He appeals to a huge cross section. He showed in 22 that he had the skeleton of a great headline set. The early stuff from the second album shows great potential, I'm expecting it to be a belter. Leave Fast doesn't appear to be on his setlists and he never played it in 22. I love that song and if he played it mid set in a headline show, I know it'd be a true moment for me. Really hope he's the 2027 headliner! -

You're welcome to disagree with me, that's fine. I'm not struggling to grasp anything, but I also don't need your forced opinion on me because I disagree with it like my opinion isn't forced on you and I accepted you can disagree. Korn and Deftones have subbed the festival before and Deftones were never talked about headlining this year or any year. Korn have at least been mentioned about getting the bump up before now which is where the difference is. Korn were at least involved in a multiple city joint arena tour and Deftones subbed it twice after Wembley Arena, Ally Pally and now Crystal Palace Bowl. Some of those others aren't doing that, they are a support act for someone doing those venues. Let's be clear though, no one said Korn are suitable, no one said they haven't worked their say up, no one said they couldn't put on a worthy show but then many bands on an undercard probably could. Many people accepted they deserve it while many others have said they are a weak headliner and just not big enough in scale and both views are probably correct. Paramore have been mentioned by Andy for so long now the whole thing of them having been future headliners just got boring just like anything else he mentioned like that or anything does. He is just generally full of rubbish. Blink 182 were already going to play in 2005 before pulling out so they aren't a band that need anyone to let them in. If Download is going to change that much that some of them bands mentioned as future headline acts between 7-10 years ago happen then they were never a future option at that time as the festival wasn't even in plans for a different kind of direction at that time. -
The Massive Attack interview makes it sound like it's the academics pursuing it. Wonder if Superstruct have dropped their involvement so Jodrell Bank are pursuing other options to pitch it to interested parties. -

It's not currently listed on the Superstruct website, so I wonder if it might emerge under new ownership? -

All the above it think relate to reasons Shed Seven would be picked but Ben's sums it well. I think they would probably sub WHs or maybe a slot lower. I'd just put them 4th down Pyramid though.
