I always have to take into consideration the differences between the UK and here in the US. for example, the low turnout for SZA wouldn't have happened in the states - but clearly in the UK she just hasnt reached the same level. I'm wondering if the same is true for Chappell. She's the biggest of the big here in the states - can't go anywhere without hearing her music; definitely the "it girl" right now and that hasn't waned since the summer. In my head it has to be the same in the UK but maybe it isn't.
Haven't seen them recently but saw them lots back in the 90's. Remember seeing them at Phoenix Festival one year and their tour bus hit some one while they were driving through to the backstage area. Fortunately the person was uninjured. Saw them at Reading Festival later that same year and they had T-shirts for sale with slogan 'Watch out, here come Terrorvision!' and a big tyre track up the back.
Primavera’s headliners tend to vary in size - sometimes it’s stuff like Radiohead, AM, Kendrick, Blur that would outright headline any festival here, but sometimes it’s slightly smaller stuff that could sub or even headline the Other Stage. This year’s three fall to the lower bracket imo, just about.
Although yeah, if Glastonbury have actually managed to pull all those off then that’s mighty impressive.
