You talk of Neil Young being a step back. As far as I see it, it’s simply he’s Michael’s favourite artist and neither man is getting younger so Emily is trying to give her dad that one last favourite memory of the festival. It is my opinion that if Neil was available any other recent years he would have played. On whether he is relevant in 2025 yes that is debatable, but the fact is he tours so infrequently his stock remains high therefore he headlines.
Agree. It’s gone from 60/40 split of live music to EDM, to 40/60. They’ve changed the focus towards more EDM, but it’s not exactly become Tomorrowland overnight.
