People don’t really buy albums anymore. You’ll usually see a massive artist like Foos or Taylor Swift and then anyone who does vinyl/outstore shows to sell records get charting but it’s not a very good metric for where to be placed at a festival. Spotify also isn’t a great metric because you don’t know the demographic, why someone is listening, do they know the artist they’re listening to? & do they go to the shows? I’d say your best bet for placing bands at festivals these days is size of shows and how many tickets they’ve sold/if they’ve sold out.
In terms of setlist, I think Dublin '24 might be my personal all-timer, but the Leeds '13 remains my peak show.
That said, think all five times are up there among the best I've ever seen. Gothenburg #2 in '23 is the lowest of the bunch, but even then, it's still terrific.
I'd love to see it binned off forever.
He's got loads of ballads better than that. Babe you turn me on for example.
And long dark night off the new one!
f**k into my arms, frankly.
