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
Aye, cannot imagine anyone here will give much of a hoot about it. Nobody was busy running up discussions based on Dua Lipa being Albanian now, were they. (Unless I missed that.)
I got My Hometown in Dublin this year. Tour debut for this leg, I think - the Mayor of Freehold, NJ had flown over for it, hence why it was reeled out.
Also got an electric Reason to Believe which felt like it was going to be rare, but then repeated a good few times across the rest of the year. Saw it at Wembley Stadium again.
And, of course, closed out Dublin with A Rainy Night in Soho. Probably one of the hundred best songs ever written - will stand on that hill - so to hear my favourite artist give it the beans was a proper weepy moment.
But Jungleland is the massive white whale. Part of me hopes that because it will be a third leg in Europe, he cuts further away from the set shape of the show, but we'll see.
Oh I would love for an extra DJ set post headliner on one of the main stages even if it were on a reduced sound system basis. It would absorb numbers from the other areas and give an option to those who would like a bit of dance music after headliners but don't want to be out all night or battling the crowds.
I know it won't and can't happen but one can hope. ( I still don't really understand how IICON can operate but you can't keep Woodsies going for example.
