I’m not forgetting that in the slightest. It’s exactly why it’s not going to happen. As you say, they need to pay attention and book headliners that will be popular. An orchestra, ballet, opera, theatre, comedy or any such batshit idea is most certainly not what the audience, at the festival or at home, wants. You seem to be conflating what you like/want with what the wider audience wants, with absolutely zero evidence to base that on. And I work for the BBC - we absolutely wouldn’t “eat up” an orchestral headliner. We like things that people will tune into in their millions. It wouldn’t come anywhere near the viewing figures for Coldplay or Dua. Or Billie, or Kendrick, or Macca, or Elton, or even Guns n Roses. It wouldn’t even get as many viewers as Sza. -
Will be wet leg for me as my kids love them and the castle stage is better for end of night, sitting on the hill watching bands. I think the suggestion of a crowd as small as Marr are unlikely. It’s won’t be rammed, but this is a diverse festival in terms of music so those that like pop rather than rock will be drawn to wet leg.

Pretty sure that Truck and in general they only play around 50ish minutes. They kept us waiting a while before coming out as Truck. As its such a small site could easily have caught a decent bit of someone else if they had been honest about the length of there set and just billed them later. To be fair to them, they did say we only have one album and the songs are very short. So playing 1hr 10 mins seems ambitious. If they are only going to play 50 mins or so, it would be better to bill them from 10 to 10.50 and they woud get a bigger crowd from those who like both and might split the sets. You dont want to be standing at the Castle missing Biffy while they delay coming out because of lack of material. Love Biffy and Wet Leg and so a real pants clash.
