That seems to be it in a nutshell. I think Biffy’s problem is that they never quite reached global status. I don’t really know if that plays a part on whether or not you can headline Glastonbury, but all the acts I think that have headlined Glastonbury over the years headline wherever they play. Maybe if Glasto had taken a punt and had them at the top between 2014-2017 they may well have reached that global status.
I mean...he won't get arrested...like Putin hasn't been arrested...but definitely will apply more pressure and make Israel even more of a pariah. Not sure what means to any peace deals. US isn't signed up to ICC, as well as Israel...or China, Russia, Iran etc etc. But we are.
Do you mean headline between being nominated and the winner? Either way, it seems winning that doesn't bode well for anybodies career at all.
2023 - Fred Again.. (2nd) > 24 headliner
2022 - Central Cee (5th) > 25 headliner
2021 - none
2020 - none
2019 - Lewis Capaldi, Sam Fender, Billie Eilish (nominated) > All 23 headliners
2018 - none
2017 - Davie (nominated) > 22 headliner
2016 - Dua Lipa (nominated) > Glasto 24
2015 - Stormzy (3rd) > 20 headliner
So it seems that the next headliners come around 4/5 years after appearing but not winning sounds of.
