Where will people live without the extra houses? There's always a reason not to do it. It's amazing how people develop concerns about public services or orchids and newts as soon as houses are proposed nearby. We have a national housing crisis in housing and we need to fix it.
Annie Mac played a different set on Stonebridge but it was a different kind of back to back thing. Also, I'm sure I've said anything that points to me having missed that? There is no point in giving a DJ two slots with one being absolutely pointless. I've been to Creamfields, I enjoyed it, years ago but djs playing the main stage at midday/1pm in pure daylight, boring and pointless.
As for your last point, Creamfields have open main stages as mentioned above with djs playing from very early afternoon on so plenty of DJs will have had that opportunity. Why would they choose to play a slot to a crowd less interested for less money?
It doesn't say I don't know.
It says somebody that knows how marketing campaigns and ROI work has showed me the sales figures, but I don't understand how the magic trick they did works.
