That's the Spirit achieved only half the streams/listens as 2019s Amo. Even Don Broco got number 1, and they're half the band BMTH are.   Their singles are gradually getting less and less successful, achieving plenty of Platinums around 2020, dropping to Golds, then Silver and now not even achieving recognition. That's how few streams/listens their songs get.   Even their Spotify monthly listeners are down 10% from just the start of the year.   Yes they have fans and sell tickets to their own shows, but how many BMTH metalcore fans want to go to see a lineup of Lil Tjay, Sabrina Carpenter, Digga D, Lil Yachty, and Hozier before BMTH come out?

They were pretty relaxed about big tents poking out over the side of the pitch last year. There’s a huge gap between rows, so lots of people had enormous tents diagonally across them. 5mx5m is pretty huge if you need a bigger one (only had 3mx3m last year). Obviously if it’s one of those ones with a big centre area and lots of individual rooms off it, then maybe it’d be a squeeze. Bonus at Holt Farm though if you do have a load of people in a giant tent is that the cost is per pitch not per person (like Love Fields). If you don’t have a load of people in there, then you don’t really need the ginormo-tent!

BMTH are the only band I’d go anywhere for, bought my 2022 ticket for them alone. My group will give any act that comes on stage a chance but, as Andre says, the average 16-24 year old R&L attendee will hear they’re a metal band and immediately get their back up.

Gutter press are gunn8ng for Coote, do they never learn. 

I mentioned 'they' three times, and was very clearly referring to the poll respondents, referenced in the same sentence, of the 3rd paragraph, whilst the second and third time... well, I'll just quote it here.    Very clearly talking about the government, but not wanting to type "the government" over and over again. However, in answer to your question, not exactly no, not a "clandestine conspiracy to eliminate smokers," But I do think that, given half a chance, they'll (sorry, the government / any government will) remove as many freedoms as we will let them get away with!   I'm truly sorry for your losses by the way, and they do give good reason to your strong opinions on this. But literally everything you've just said, including losing family members, can be applied to alcohol too. It might surprise you to learn (given I'm a publican) that I lost my Dad and several other family members of his generation to alcohol. In my Dad's case, I lost him a long long time before he died, as is often the case with alcohol. It's probably one of the reasons I make my place behind the bar and very rarely in front of it. (festivals, gigs and holidays only, never at home / in my pub.) Yet if you go back over the last few pages in here, mine, and other's, attempts to highlight the similarities have been shrugged off and ridiculed. You touched on it in that very reply! They're both bad habits, that have the potential to end lives, especially if done to excess. However, if people want to do these things, that's entirely up to them, it's not your place, not my place, nor the government's place, to save people who don't want to be saved.
