If there had been something closer to the middle of the UK, I'd have been chasing it for certain. They're the kind of band who seem delighted to get the chance to dust off some of those older ones, but also feel pretty cautious in further alienating a festival audience by straying too far from the path.   Next year's shows will come with at least two or three new songs included if the album is incoming, and five or six at a minimum if they've released it by then.

I think that Avalon is significantly larger now as well

Realistically  O.Rod and Linkin Park for the headline slots? or am I going too big

Good luck, I feel we may all need some.    If you have nobody to help you try for tickets you can have a look at this thread here and see if there's any groups with spare slots. Would probably do it sooner rather than later though and remember you'll have to commit to the cause and try for everybody else in your group too.   Another point worth mentioning if you go down this route is that you couldn't be in a group and have separate friends trying for just you alone as if they got through it would mess up the whole group if somebody else got through. Anyone you rope into helping would have to be prepared to try for the whole group too.

Gonna guess this is fan made by yourself? It seems so believable that it's hard to tell. Good job if so.
