She's not played any big shows here yet, but the demand for the small tour she did do was enormous.   Plus of course she's headlining Reading.

My predictions:   No QOSTA No Will Smith Vampire Weekend and Khruangbin taking sub spots, maybe coheadlining one night Charlie and Chappel headlining 2 nights Amelie Lens and Justice closing Main Stage after Charlie and Chappel. Papa Roach, Nelly Furtado and Idles playing 7pm slots at Main Stage.   So my prediction for Main Stage is:   Nelly/Vampire Weekend/Khruangbin Papa Roach/Charlie/Justice Idles/Chappel/Amelie Lens    

I always have to take into consideration the differences between the UK and here in the US.  for example, the low turnout for SZA wouldn't have happened in the states - but clearly in the UK she just hasnt reached the same level. I'm wondering if the same is true for Chappell. She's the biggest of the big here in the states - can't go anywhere without hearing her music; definitely the "it girl" right now and that hasn't waned since the summer.  In my head it has to be the same in the UK but maybe it isn't. 

Haven't seen them recently but saw them lots back in the 90's. Remember seeing them at Phoenix Festival one year and their tour bus hit some one while they were driving through to the backstage area. Fortunately the person was uninjured. Saw them at Reading Festival later that same year and they had T-shirts for sale with slogan 'Watch out, here come Terrorvision!' and a big tyre track up the back.
