For anyone interested, I've created a 'bar chart race' graphic based on the scores at the end of each day from the 1st February when this started. It shows how each artist has progressed over time.

As a side from this I no longer have a horse to back in this race.  I was going to be all contrary and side against those that I feel have wronged me but then I had the following conversation with my

I wasn't there so I'm pretty curious: what was wrong with it? Watched the concert a lot on YT and it genuinely feels like a triumph. They played all the big ones. Excellent crowd too. 

Nothing much, I thought it was pretty good- but didn’t think there was any take your breath away moments in it. Just more that we’re at the business end of the tournament now and I don’t feel they’re in that top tier.

I absolutely loved it, but then I was a pretty huge fan at the time so it was a dream come true for them to be headlining. 

In the scheme of all time greats, maybe it isn’t one of the best, and there a few cringe moments - Flashbulb Eyes killing some momentum as the second song, the cringey pre-encore bobblehead karaoke section - but overall for a fan of the band I can’t think of much more you’d want, and for non-fans I thought they put on a really fun show.

But then you look at the rest of who’s left on our list - Killers included, who apparently nailed it - and I understand why AF are the weaker link.

They played the big hitters and put on a good show but I dunno... something about it felt... just ok. 

Whether it was me expecting something truly special or some odd setlist choices (Flashbulb Eyes second!!!) it just never quite took off for me.

Surprised at the level of support for The Killers - first 2 albums decent, law of diminishing returns since then IMO (much more so than Arcade Fire, who still supply 2-3 absolute bangers per album) and live it's only half of the original line up now.

You obviously didn’t see their headline set last time.
