Sometimes we dab up, sometimes we dab down.

This is life! 

Back to guessing Saturday night possibilities….

It wouldn’t make any sense him not being on the first poster if that was the case. Guess he was a last minute fill-in in 2020 like a lot of us suspected otherwise I don’t see why they wouldn’t have asked him back.

ah that’s actually quite sad really (for him).

Edited - Misread - he’s headlining a silver Hayes stage sorry.

No one will convince me otherwise.

I reckon a big other headliner said no in the lead up to the poster and they needed someone in asap.

The thing with this theory is that they knew Covid was going to banjax the festival by this point. The poster drop was more of a “this is what you could have had” thing. 

There’d be no reason to have FBS on the poster if he was a replacement. 

I think it’s much more plausible he was booked as a 50th/thank you type act, which is why I find it strange he’s not kept his position. 

He must be the only person on the 2020 poster who is playing 2022 but has a worse slot!

Idk things were pretty chaotic back then, I always saw the poster drop as a way of keeping some of the acts they had lined up for 2020 committed. If they weren’t announced it’s easier for them to not roll over / come back.

There probably was a very small part of the festival that had to push on and plan for 2020 despite the circumstances. In my job we had events we all knew would get cancelled but we still had to work as if they were going ahead it was a very weird time. No one knew what to do.

Probably opening it but still a good slot for them.

Thought it was interesting that there’s already enough acts for 2 days on the pyramid with the likes of Olivia Rodrigo and no doubt a couple more on that poster that will defo be on that stage too.  Not really much else to come for the Pyramid in future announcements (IMO)

I don’t think they’ve been confirmed for this year but they were playing the Other stage in 2020. They have a warm-up gig on the Wednesday so I think they’ll play early afternoon Other stage on the Friday.

Decent.  Could very well be complete looking at that and the poster. 
 

For some reason I thought we knew Crowded House were Sunday
