Wet Leg are playing at Oya on the 7th and Way Out West (8th or 9th), BUT not Flow Festival (Aug 8-10).
You know, why... because by that time they must be in Budapest already!
No doubt about that, but aside from a true outlier, it’s not hard for any act to be well received because the Pyramid headliners will always attract a crowd. The battle for success doesn’t take place at Worthy Farm; it happens via public reception, television ratings, the following years’ ticket sales, and so on.
Luckily the festival has so much cultural stock banked that it’ll take more than the odd SZA or The 1975 to reverse public attitude or commercial success. But that doesn’t invalidate the argument that a perceived weaker set of headliners is more damaging for the festival than a strong one.
