2020 only one with a white man running for Democrats, and with Trump as the incumbent.

An earlier poster suggested that see tickets had imposed this on the festival but there’s no evidence of this I think. I would imagine there’s been much discussion as to how to prevent the IT problems that occurred over the last few sales. Whether the festival is happy , who knows. 

Democrats ran a very poor campaign. Kamala dominated Trump in their debate and failed to capitalize on that. That's how big of a fumble this was.   A lot of people vote for Trump because they think he's one of the boys (doesn't matter that it's the opposite) who understands people and will fix everything easily. Kamala ran a campaign that was built on vague policies, not addressing the biggest thing people care about in the USA right now - the cost of living.   I think it really came down to the fact that Trump seems genuine to a lot of people and Democrats don't. It absolutely doesn't matter that Trump is a rapist, a fraud, and a failed businessman. People do things and vote based on vibes in a lot of cases.

Yeah tho I don't remember it being as rammed as all that - there was certainly still space in the field for candles.

350 euros seems like an excessive price to me... obviously, times have changed, but it's clear that a large part of that expense is necessary to book big names in the industry. I've always been a strong advocate for headliners at Primavera Sound being something completely secondary, but inevitably, they impact other aspects and features of the festival.   It becomes difficult to pay those prices when, for the most part, you want to see smaller artists that you can access at much lower prices in other festivals or on their own tours
