The long drops have a larger capacity, so many of them don't need to be emptied during the festival (at least, not as often)

😂, glad you added the bit at the end as I was just about to jump on it.   Im speaking from families myself, my mate who comes every year has never seen a headliner, we skipped one or left early other years, we situate ourselves next to the exit (until we found a better one on Sunday this year) and there are lots leaving.  Maybe as a proportion it’s small.  There’s lots of locals there and tbf they go because of the location too and not who’s playing.   anyway, don’t suppose it matters too much, they’ll carry on doing what’s been successful

Not 100% sure just in case football matches move to certain mid weeks (unlikely, but the final Goodison match could end up on one of those gig dates if one of the teams involved reaches the cup final), but I think my Manchester night 3 upper tier tickets will be being sold so I can make use of my floor ones for night 1. That's my ideal situation anyway. I won't sell them until I've asked you, just remind me nearer the time 

Hindsight, eh!

Prodigy announced for Kendal and Y Not so far, so presumably could be also on for either of Victorious/Boardmasters (both Superstruct, but targeted at different demographics) under a multi-festival deal. Could also appear next year if they're not on this year
