Seeing that they're doing the self title at North has made me very happy. 

I do agree that you want your headliner to put on a party. So much as I love Neil Young, and he'll surely be the greatest artist playing the festival next year, if he's headlining and he's up against, say, Ezra Collective, he might lose. It's also why I think Beth Gibbons or Laura Marling would be wasted at the top of the bill, on any stage, though they're both absolutely great.    I'm still hoping Pulp or Massive Attack might turn up, though there seems no sign of it.

Great to get Lisa O'Neill after she couldn't make this year; her gig at Halifax Minster was the best thing I saw in 2023.

i think they were likely trying to make sure the PA wouldnt blow by having them on Other. Anywhere else would be a complete disservice. 

the Cure? Florence? Arcade Fire?
