Then put Seasick Steve or the Birmingham Ballet on Other then? I mean there's a chance you're right and they did everything they could but the line-up didn't work with Avril on the Pyramid no matter how they sliced it... it just doesn't seem that likely.
I mean, Emily has been quite clear that she has an active objective to get better gender equality at the festival. Yes, that's true and it probably factored into the SZA booking. She's even talked about that quota with "two female headlines". So that's fair grounds.
She's nearly never talked about booking more acts of colour, or having more acts with LGBT representation, or more acts with certain body types (I don't even know what that means, it was in the post). She maybe mentioned race once to try and justify the three male headliners last year.
That stuff is all made up. Especially given we know she was essentially replacing Madonna!
I have just bought an early bird ticket for Primavera 2025 on the understanding that most of the following will appear: Talking Heads, Travis Scott, Missy Elliott, Patti Smith, Kali Uchis, C Tangana, Mabe Fratti, Vince Staples, Lil Yachty, Sampha, Tems, Mon Laferte, Shaboozey, Frank Ocean, Tom Waits and Pere Ubu. I do not like to be disappointed, Mr Gabi and booking team.
Corbyn was lucky in 2017 with May and her social care dementia tax and subsequent uturn, her sh*t response to Grenfell and all round sh*t maybot campaigning thing...but at same time it wasn't all luck.
etc.
