Yeah, it must be said that if it was - for example - The 1975, Dave and Sam Fender:   + You've got a trio of rising British stars and, Harry Styles aside, arguably the three next biggest ones to do it.   - You've got no out-and-out megastar or legacy headliner, no big-name overseas pick and no women. 

She’d make for a very strong sub, but as with all people who’ve headlined in the past it’d be tough to ask her to accept that without it seeming like an insult. 

I'm going to disagree with Skip on this one. In my own experience, the general vibe and atmosphere is the same as it's always been in the time I've been going. Certainly since the dates you've mentioned. I can't speak for Skip's own experiences of course.   All I will say is, be prepared for less space, more queues and a generally busier feeling overall. That's certainly the biggest difference since 2013. Everything else feels much the same to me. Same spectacle, same atmosphere.

I think they’ll surprise us with one of the headliners. We’re assuming it’s 3 of the usual suspects for 2025, but I can easily see someone we weren’t particularly expecting being on that top line

He would although his inclusion would only amplify complaints about the trio being a bit low key.
