My take, going purely by what we know in terms of Neil's info, Macca's dates, the BST rumour and Emily's comments, is that they were at the very least talking to him and probably got as far as making an offer. Maybe the Eavii were hopeful/confident that it would be accepted but for whatever reason he didn't. Maybe Vegas made a better offer, maybe he simply didn't fancy coming back over here for a gig or two over two weeks and preferred to stay in the US all summer.

This makes perfect sense combined with the interview with Emily (with Lauren) saying that an act(s) were maybe holding out for the 50th. Fingers crossed.

So, with regards to potential headliners The Stokes - did Albert Hammond Jr’s Dad write The Air That You Breathe - made famous by the Hollies? Or is that total bullshit? 

He did, in fact he wrote loads of hits for other artists as well as for himself. His ‘Free Electric Band’, is a real banger.

It's getting far too quiet in this thread considering third headliner is still pretty wide open. I'm still hoping the second is too, although I appreciate I'm clutching. Stormzy though! Ahem. I won't be there I don't think, but glad he's being given the opportunity. 

Emily, Michael. I can happily be elsewhere. But please don't let it be The Cure. And please don't let it be The Strokes.

Well as no-one has any better ideas...

Keane are getting back together:

and according to the Portuguese press, headlining MEO Mares Vivas in early July:

So... ‘summer live dates’ then...

    • Blame it on the side-by-side setup. There are cases where it works well - got a great location in front of the middle screen for Bexter Dury-Big Thief-Little Simz, just had to move about 20 meters each time for a great location. But on most cases it sucks  
    • was happy to swerve the main stages on Saturday, but thought it was fine for The Cure, we just went down the opposite side & got a decent spot close to the front, everyone into it (admittedly a bit off to the side)   a festival that now books Olivia Rodrigo as a surprise set isn't going to get any smaller, for better or for worse it is miles apart from when I was first going   personally I still find the people amazing, never have any hassle & the line ups are always so strong & diverse.  We will definitely return for the 25th anniversary next year!
    • I love this festival but Mordor has got worse and worse to the point now that I dread going there. 10 years ago there just weren’t as many people, as many bottlenecks and there wasnt the need to arrive early to have a decent spot.
    • Aren't they against touring?
    • If my memory serves me right, it was the other way round - when PS 2022 lineup was released it was already confirmed that she plays Barcelona in May.
