Would not have expected both festivals over the August bank holiday weekend (victorious and apparently R&L) to have no British headliners. Especially in a year with so much British talent e.g. Fontaines, Fender, Charli, Chase and status, Bring me, etc 

That was Bryan Ferry, not Roxy Music.   Plus he had the art school / avant-rock lens which made him that bit more suitable.

I feel we are all in our own musical bubbles. I am the exact opposite of you. I couldn't name a single NY song, but I have been a loyal follower of Charli for over 10 years. In my mind, I can imagine Charli doing better on the pyramid than NY, but that is because I am in a bubble where all my friends are die-hard Charli fans. 

I recall years ago when Roxy Music headlined WH and the word was that Michael wanted them playing ands headlining so WH it was even though it might not have been a fit people were used to. Perhaps this will be the same - we will find out by the end of May.

Leaks originally said it would contain 1 or 2 headliners but I'm with you, I would be surprised and disappointed if we didn't get at least three.
