Yeah I feel people put way to much emphasis on Spotify figures, Avril Lavigne has more monthly Spotify listeners than all 3 other headliners and all 3 pyramid subs!
As does Cyndi lauper
Just the way it goes, nothing but thieves are on the bottom line of the other stage and have had a stellar two years....
I guess it's also to give the "alt/rock" crowd something to go when dua lipa is on
A bump up I would argue is deserved....as I've said earlier truck are starting to put bigger headliners on the Thursday night to draw more earl entry tickets.
There tour has sold pretty well (playing Similar venues to the national) on the back of a well received number 1 album.
If they are giving SZA a chance to headline the pyramid what's wrong with giving IDLES a crack at the other?
I think with the foo's it was there return post Taylor Hawkins and a headliner sized act with no other dates around the same time, Stevie nicks has already sold Hyde park so there's no need to hide it
