I'm on my 11th and some of the best gigs I've ever seen have been Pyramid Headliners. There's just something really special about seeing someone you like on there. I think the split is more people who like big commercial acts vs people who don't (or as many on here would think, people who have bad taste in music vs people who have good taste). I like to think I get the festival, but the stuff on the main stages matches the music I like. There's plenty of time to do that alongside the other less commercial things -
I am all in for next year, but secretly pleased of the promise of a year off in 2026. Every year it takes a little bit more out of me, especially working it. (I got home on Mon then on Tues started a 17-day stretch working out here in normal land. Please ticket gods, please, get talcroft a day off!)

2 things. Firstly there was a change in the way crew bands were counted about 10 years back - previously it was common practice for certain stages to reuse a "pass" across the weekend - so they'd have to ensure artists arrived at a certain time, and then left site after their set, so that someone playing later could take their place. The increase was supposed to eliminate that practice, with a more accurate number of passes allocated to each stage and artists able to arrive / leave much more on their own schedule. Secondly and probably a more substantial impact is the increase in hospitality tickets, which count against that crew allocation (despite people incorrectly assuming it has led to fewer public tickets).

Agree that it'll have some effect on demand - not least myself. I've been thinking about taking a year off, and if they'd said "fallow in 2028", then I'd most likely skip next year. But as it stands I'm fully "back in", and early indications are that several friends who've not been for a while are also on board.
