If Linkin Park's pattern is that they have at least one day off after show day, that wouldn't exactly be helping the possibility of them being here. Presumably their show in Arnhem also doesn't help.   Also Nothing but Thieves played this festival in 2024. Do Pinkpop do repeats?

I feel like this is it. I’m fairly tech savvy but not as much as others, but it feels like the map is being redrawn in a way that is just unnecessarily opaque and confusing for the majority of people. It’s a contemporary arts festival. It should be as fair as a level playing field for as many people as possible. It really shouldn’t be this difficult to get a ticket and on the surface of it, this new system seemed much fairer and lots of people seemed to have success when they previously didn’t. But now that this information is out, the intervening years will just become needlessly complex.    I hate the idea of a ballot but at this point it is the fairest way of doing the whole thing otherwise Glastonbury will become an exclusive event when the whole ethos of the festival is that everyone is welcome. That’s what makes the festival so special. It’s not having a membership to Soho House, ffs. 

Just not comparable but I see where you're coming from
