I know chart positions aren't everything, but quite surprised by how badly Wild God has flopped. In at #5 for one week and then sunk like a stone. I thought physical sales would have kept him buoyant but clearly not.
Galaxie 500 just got profiled by the New York Times, I wonder if this is the start of a comeback, I would give anything for them to be the reunion band for next year!
Always my favourite way to approach. Know I've said it before, and I'll say it again, but you want:
Friday: Your rising star, with a commercial breakthrough. Arena-filling, with some currency, and preferably homegrown. (Sam Fender / Dave / The 1975.)
Saturday: Your modern-day chartfiller, with multi-night arena or stadium pedigree to match, capable of packing them in. (Harry Styles / Rihanna / Lady Gaga.)
Sunday: Your heritage headliner. Likely still a multi-night arena or stadium artist, but one who has the catalogue that spans back more than two decades and can work an all-ages crowd like seasoned pros. (Madonna / Green Day / Billy Joel.)
