They key here also is perspective. The bigger acts from today are the smaller acts from yesterday. Bands we‘ve seen on festival headlines in the past have grown bigger and might play big headline shows instead now. If you‘ve grown up with those bands like us you might forget that they‘ve been smaller in the past. I bet there‘ve been people who have questioned bands like Muse, Coldplay, etc. when they got their first headline slot at festivals. You cannot have the same bands all the time headlining the same festivals.

 

Fender might be a stretch but objectively he is an act that is worth the risk and the push to the headline as he is constantly growing.

 

Different story for Kravitz, I also have no idea why they put hin in the headline! 😄

Agree, but I guess it's all about balance and context, isn't it? Booking 2 Fender-sized, younger headliners still leaves enough room (3-4 slots) for some more familiar headliners.

 

It feels like a bigger deal than it is just because right now Sam is 50% of the lineup 🙂

You were talking about… I said you were aiming far too high 😂.   I’m sure it’ll be great anyway

I agree, that doesn't change what my perspective basis was on attending though.

Wonder what everyone’s getting to moan about next week.   3 more weeks till ticket sale so I’m guessing, 1 headliner next week, 1 headliner the week after and then a package of maybe 8-10 acts a few days before the sale starts

I've been going to festivals for over 30 years, I can't remember many when people haven't moaned about the lineups. 

 

That's what forums are all about. 😃

Kravitz is r'n'r legend. Fender doesn't have 1% of his accomplishments/status.
