Glastonbury shouldn’t be dictated to by the BBC, it should be the other way round 

Look. Guys. I can only apologise for the almighty jinxing.     My working theory is initial negotiations with Glastonbury were around the blurring of these lines, and an agreement was struck between Young and Glastonbury with them believing they could sway the BBC. But as time dragged on Glastonbury couldn’t get anyway negotiating with the BBC hence they had to go back to Neil and renege on the initial agreement and admitted they couldn’t meet the terms.   Fundamentally believe the TV / Streaming / Worldwide sales ability is the crux of his issue - but to be “booked” and then for him to publicly denounce whatever happened. It’s more than his team just didn’t read the document. Has to be the above for me, that there were attempts to bend the rules but BBC wouldn’t agree and forced the festivals hand.   Whole thing is just really sour. I sincerely hope he does more than one UK date, and it isn’t during Glastonbury week. I’ll be unfathomably pissed off if after he pulled out of Glastonbury and then I can’t even go to his own date.

Charli XCX would kill it but she's just not there size wise.   Can't even sell out her APE day with solid support and a fair price in East London!!

It’ll come as a shock to Taylor Swift that coming off the back of a 2 billion dollar tour that she isn’t the biggest artist in the world and it’s actually charli xcx who can’t sell out Victoria park.    Charli xcx is big but the more online you are the bigger she seems.

Yep! Marginally more northerly than Sheffield, so definitely not Midlands.
