In my opinion its because music is so easily accessible online. Years ago bands, in the days of going out and buying cds, bands would get large followings as you'd buy a cd/lp and play it relentlessly, that doesn't happen anymore.
I have music on at work everyday and everyday im playing different music to the day before, apart from a few bands or when a new album drops.
It takes someone pretty unique now, like Fred Again, to unite the masses, his music does seem to have connected with people in a way I haven't seen for a while.
I haven't been to Leeds since 2019 but the pull of seeing Fred Again and Lana on the same day has got my coming back, the only other acts that have pulled me back to Leeds have been Kendrick in 2018, and TOP/Billie Eilish in 2019.
Its months away and I'm already hoping Fred will be an all timer for me.
