The Festival acknowledges that booking SZA was viewed as a mistake by many and is keen to learn from the small crowd, Contact has been made with her team post festival and the bookers are actually keen for SZA to return to the farm in the future although no actual plans are put in place at this point, the team don’t want SZA legacy with the festival to be perceived as a negative one. They will follow her career closely and it may be 10 or more years when she returns and as to what slot she occup
Real Estate last night in Leeds were solid, but felt they were upstaged by Far Caspian in support. Only a half-hour slot, but they just seemed to lock into something more direct and effective with their soundscapes.
Did it? They sold 25k tickets for Gunnersbury, 36k in total on the tour. That isn’t proven headliner numbers.
From a performance point of view they absolutely proved they can put on a headline worthy set. But I don’t think 36k tickets ‘proves’ they’re a headliner.
It’s a weak booking by any standard. Suspect when they bumped Korn up they probably thought they’d got Green Day & another stadium level headliner so it made more sense.
