It really did! New song with Simz was great too and bodes well not just for the new album but also their stated intention to not record any more Coldplay albums after it but instead focus on collaborations with artists they find interesting.
I can forgive Barry can’t swim at the Park, when they booked him it’s likely that most people wouldn’t have known who he was given his stratospheric rise.
Avril on the other is understandable as well, the other stage is vast and can accommodate huge acts, but they needed something big on the pyramid at the same time. Unfortunately they had someone absolutely incredible on the pyramid stage, but without a huge uk draw.
What I do think was stupid was doing Avril on the other an hour after Shania on the pyramid as the cross over between fans was so high.
Didn’t intend to imply she wasn’t ‘good enough’ or ‘popular enough.’ Just that I would have loved to have gone and seen her in an earlier slot, but chose not to in the HL slot, as her music is not what I’m looking for at that time of night. Wondering if others might have thought the same thing.
Avalon was always were I spent most of my festival, this year I didn't see one act there. Not that there wasn't anything good, just that there were no must sees. Anything I fancied was out trumped by something on elsewhere.
