I had bands to see at Download but it's a shame that Friday and Sunday headliners for me were rubbish and a lot of the undercard. Not enough to put up with that festival anyway. I think Download would certainly get Slipknot on the lower end, I don't see an issue by booking Sleep Token and finding Green Day money. Green Day absolutely will cost the most but if you can book Slipknot, BMTH and Metallica twice over 4 days, you can book those other 3. Probably about £2.2m as a guess on headliners.
Because Rihanna isn't a bloody legend lol and Eminem essentially redefined a music scene and genre himself.
Well it's hardly been a honeymoon period, no election for years, as Deborah Meaden says - plenty of pensioners (as she is one) don't need it.
Where I live many pensioners are pretty well off, but they certainly handled it badly.
I think Spotifys algorithms are a bit poo better curating for yourself I find - I suspect there might be paid promotion in there for certain tracks to be pushed ahead of others -
I wouldn't go just for Pulp, I saw them in Sheffield on this reunion and years ago at Leeds. I don't think they are going to be at Glastonbury, the more I think about it, for a sub spot literally nothing stopped them taking it. They have only taken headline slots at least in the UK too and taking a sub spot the more it think for Glastonbury and it going well doesn't do or add anything to their career.
