I totally agree that to stay in business and relevant is huge. I will be absolutely buzzing in the build up there is no doubt. It just feels a tad flat at the moment
I think this is a fair and interesting take. My first was 2014 and it felt like there was a buzz every year for new things going on. 2019 had loads and since the fallback on the crane, there hasn’t been a great deal of exciting innovation.
It’s obviously still incredible. But even stages like Cabaret and Acoustic book the same acts each year. Maybe that’s why the lineup reaction was a bit muted, because it’s rare to get big surprises on smaller stages the last few years I think.
Yeah but that could be said for loads of people over the years. Elton and Macca recent examples. Just can’t believe when she’s so active, and in the uk the week after Glastonbury, that they wouldn’t have booked her. Would be a great booking obviously!
I mean, you may not like her, but she’s one of the best selling artists of all time. From wiki:
“She has sold over 100 million records, making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time and the best-selling female artist in country music history.”
