Agree that the Common People thing does feel like a tap in - maybe they see as KOL as a significant get (which it is really) and wanted to tease that one out.
Madness would be a poor headliner for where Victorious is now tbh. Though, as much as I like him, Jamie T was a bit of a weak booking last year. If they've gone all out on KOL then maybe they need to balance out with a weaker headliner one day.
That’s the one thing I always tell newbies if you ain’t feeling move somewhere else even if it means having an hour or so away from your mates, 9 times out of 10 you’ll end up chatting to some random anyway
