I’d say there’s a chance myself (for Kendall too tbf) Very different demographics & lineups. In the past few festivals the headliners were; Two Door, alt-j, Royal Blood, Bombay, Fender, Kasabian, Wolf Alice, Foals. How does Jamiraqou fit in with them? He just doesn't. He fits with the festivals you've mentioned which book acts like Stereophonics, Paul Heaton etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really limited headliner pool tbh I think there's a few options out there - Jamie T, Libertines, Bombay, Fontaines, could always try and get Little Simz back after the cancelled 2021 festival (I can dream) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
