The Offspring and sold out standing sat every venue they at the time I wrote that post except for Glasgow.
Also, I didn't say The Offspring could headline. I stated who'd have thought they would be doing their tours they are.
Also on BMTH, I've not stated they could headline Download or they aren't big enough to headline Reading top spot. I've agreed with some on the debate would Reading booking them for it. Bands can be big enough for slots but at the stage that makes sense all round. The longer time goes on though the longer you question it. Naturally being from here they can play towards ends of the summer.
Separate. I trust one slightly more than the other, but neither can I hang my hat on just now.
What I would say is it suggests, apart from Rodrigo, things are very much at offer/negotiation stage for one, possibly two, slots.
a few changes since 2022:
- No more Bits area. great change IMO. no more endless walks on the bridge
- The old Primavera stage (now Amazon) has moved. Almost the same location but turned, now with the back to the entrance, so now it's much bigger (almost mordor-size) and also allowed them to add another small stage between it and the steps. on the downside, it lacks the intimacy of the old one, and also can't sit on the hill and watch the show.
- last edition the old pitchfork and adidas (whatever they're called now) were facing each other. can't say that it changed much to be honest
