Last year headliners all on at the same time - except for Prince on Sunday

I saw Bob Dylan at hop farm a couple of years ago and not that eager to see him again, so I'd prefer all the headliners at the same time I think

I think that was down to Prince wanting no music on elsewhere, even the traders and fun fair etc had to turn off all music.

Not impressed with Nitin Sawhney as the friday second stage headliner.

Loving Dog is Dead though and happy that the I am Kloot addition will prevent Dog is Dead from Clashing with Lianne La Havas

I've never heard of Nitin Sawhney. Is that bad?

Nope - he's excellent. A highly respected musician.

He might be, but is he a good alternative act to Peter Gabriel. From checking spotify he seems to be rather ochestral as per Peter Gabriel.

Second stage acts aren't neccessarily meant to be an alternative to the headliner musically. They're there to split the crowd, so if they're expecting a large crowd for a certain type of act, it makes sense for safety reasons to put a similar type of act on the second stage.
