Massive Attack don't exactly throw a party either - and while I agree it's usually nice to end the night with a bang, limiting headline sets to that and that only is self-defeating.
Aye I’m 2.3 miles ne of you, also in Brooklyn. Meeting in Bath instead of Brooklyn sounds quite funny and appropriate!
I’ve had coach tickets from Bath twice, got them both times in the first coach sale, and both times been assigned the early bus. I get the impression the bus times are assigned based on when you get the tickets, so resale people likely on the later buses, people in the first half of the initial coach sale very likely on early buses. But I’m not 100% positive that’s true at all.
But neither early time was that early - it was more like an 8AM departure both times (2022 & 2023).
