It'll be the last two points, which effectively give the BBC the right to re-show their coverage, and therfore his songs, whenever they like after the festival, forever. It also suggests that the BBC want to be able to sell the coverage, i.e again his songs, for the next 5 years on a number of commercial outlets (although still referred to as a 'public service' broadcaster with its revenue raised through taxation (license fee), the BBC is obliquely commercial these days, supplementing that income with international media sales).

Yet at the same time, I could spend ages looking for someone to tell me a song they like by *checks notes*, Peso Pluma or Feid.    Charli's pretty massive at the moment in the UK and US, but with quite a specific demographic of under 30s I'd say. As someone in that camp, I don't know of any music-interested friends that don't listen to Brat fairly regularly

Anyone else heading to this little gem in the East Midlands?     

Not necessarily. I think we overstate the importance of the festival to a lot of artists and booking agents etc.   Possible that they just agreed to it, were sent that from the BBC and then said no.

I'd be curious to see this list for the UK specifically - a lot of these artists are undeniably huge but will never be seen on the pyramid stage
