I was thinking that earlier ... I'm sure we'd convinced ourselves that it was going to be a Faces reunion. Maybe that added to the disappointment?

Would be disappointed if The 1975 got less than two hours. 

I would second this.  Site is fairly small and outside of the stages there is only limited things to do.  A nice kids area if you're bringing family.  My first visit last year, and once you have acclimatised to the size, its a nice relaxing bimble.  Site opens at 8am each morning, so you can get breakfast, etc. easily.  Music starts around 11.30 / 12.  In between times we sat around the tent drinking coffee and eating lunch (good to bring your own food in for at least 1 meal a day, as food and drink is very expensive on site).  Everything is close by, so its easy to go to another tent / stage if you don't like what you're hearing.  Plenty of room for sitting around doing nothing, chatting with randoms and people watching, which is half of the attraction at festivals anyway isn't it?  We thoroughly enjoyed it, nice mix of families, youngsters, older people and everyone very respectful to each other.  Good vibe all round

Inflation jokes ahoy!    Wonder what was the record for the shortest trio of headline sets in festival history on the Pyramid? None of the three we think will likely push past ninety. 

But they are both formed early 2000s in an age where rock music was still relatively mainstream. I appreciate their rise to prominence is pretty recent (and 75’s debut was what, 2013?) but it just feels different to the newer bands like Fontaines D.C.   But then the more I think, the more I’m starting to disagree with myself 🤣 Fender is about to do Glastonbury, has and is doing stadiums, Fontaines D.C. got Finsbury, so by all metrics you’d imagine they’d still be at the top in 20 years. Maybe I should just be quiet 🤐
