I wouldn't see how MH are subbing suddenly after headlining second last year?, it's just another repeat two years later too like so much of this year from 23. I don't think any of those subs should be subbing.
KSE and Megadeth who get 3rd down slots at Bloodstock are the prime example of where Bloodstock headliners should play and there are other examples too. That's not to say based on who's above them in some cases it's not going to happen as that is the next levels.
The standard of what bands can do outside of a festival should be higher per placing at the festival.
Libertines, Sugababes, McFly, Basement Jaxx, yep, there's a healthy forward looking lineup with an eye to the future.
Just feels very backward looking, guess that's the audience who'll pay, but you've only got to go back a few years and there was Mitski, Caribou/ Kelly Lee Owens, Comet is coming, Floating Points. You know, at least throw a bone to those of us who don't want to live in the early 2000s. It's just a bit dispiriting that the Dreamland booking policy is so retro.
I was working at Dreamland in the 90s, trust me, no way i want to relive those days.
