Looking forward to seeing these at Kendal Calling, I saw them once before at V years ago, but wasn't that into them then. Since that singles collection came out last year I know a lot more songs
If there's a bots involved, then there would likely be no need to pass over a slot in the queue - in a well designed setup it will already be easy enough to take control of any given session as needed so there'd be no benefit (and actually, introducing a risk as it could f**k up) in transferring a queue slot from one session to another.
Still not convinced that these people roping in hundreds of others to help on their behalf was or is ever likely to be a thing. Just on the basis that anyone in a position to do that (social media influencers, rich bastards, etc), is already likely to be in a position where they can use their status to get a ticket via another route (and probably a Hospitality ticket so they don't have to associate with the unwashed scum like me).
