Whether you like KOL or not it's huge step forward for the festival, obviously getting a non-uk act but more importantly an act that is still big enough to headline BST. As much as we talk about Mumford & Biffy being big acts in recent years neither of them are currently considered BST size.
Obviosuly, if you don't like Kings of Leon the fact they are a big signing is pretty meaningless and not going to tempt you to buy a ticket. However, it does look like they are aiming higher and trying to grow the festival and in the future they may have a bigger pool then the smaller Superstruct festivals.
Yeh I saw that his first round of treatment failed and that he's back in Canada for round 2. Should only be a few months though, all being well. 🤞
Not paid for, but he does have a hell of a lot of love from the reaction community / creators, and it certainly doesn't hurt that REN has been one of the few artists to support, encourage and embrace their work instead of fighting them. 😉
Doesn't take anything away from his talent though.
Me too, he hasn't revealed how long this round of treatment will take, afaik. But if I remember correctly, he originally said the first round was planned to be 3 to 4 months, extended after complications, I think. Hopefully this one goes smoothly. 🙂
He's gagging to perform live again, if his updates are anything to go by, so I hope he gets to do that on the biggest stage soon.
