SZA was supposed to play on another stage was she not? Got bumped up. But hey you gotta wonder at the musical taste of folk who choose Avril Levene ahead of Janelle Monae and SZA. 

Linkin Park is already performing the 22th at HellFest

This is the exact issue - they aren't choosing to get these acts on the way up and the festival will never grow to be TITP size where they could get really large headliners.   They clearly want to stay around 50k mark with their current price point, which is why AM or The Killers seemingly won't be booked again.   edit - i guess what i'm saying is if there was scope to grow they may go for bigger headliners but currently capacity is limited really, it can't feasibly get to T size without moving.

Disagree. Spunking loads of money on a pyramid headliner leaves less money for elsewhere. Gaps that are inevitably filled by DJs. I think stepping back from the megastar headliner is a good thing. If you want a megastar go to Wembley. 

Will be back on the farm after missing out last year (the only time I have failed to get tickets).   Bought the coach tickets myself and didn't get a sniff of the page to help others on Sunday. Shows the importance of trying in the coach sale!
