Doesn’t that just reinforce the point that has been made repeatedly (ie when huge US artists that have little footprint in the UK are championed as headliners and the festival is branded out of touch for not considering them?)…different artists with different pull in different markets…Stadium level (sometimes) locally but playing Webster Hall in NYC. Not at all surprising that he be lower down the bill when that’s the level he’s at in the US, but clearly operating on an entirely different level in UK/EU where he’s headlining major festivals now.
I honestly don't think it really improves anything, it has more chance of whatever detection they are using thinking your a bot, if it's a commonly used VPN. A work VPN would probably be fine.
