She hasn't been treated any different to the other alt headliners From that perspective, you’re right, she has been treated the same as the alternative headliners. The issue is, the alternative headliners are booked as headliners and should be treated as such. Headlining the alternative stage (which is still a massive stage, bigger than most other festival’s main stages) is a huge moment, possibly the biggest moment in an alternative artists career. I get why she (and other artists) might be annoyed that they are just treated as “other acts” when they’re headlining a massive stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpol was headlining the John Peel Stage but their name is at the bottom of this poster. Just because someone's name was at the top didn't mean it was a headliner. The first 3 artists were the main headliners, and the rest were listed randomly. The Killers - Saturday - Pyramid Stage - Headliner The Cure - Sunday - Pyramid Stage - Headliner Stormzy - Friday - Pyramid Stage - Headliner Kylie - Sunday - Pyramid Stage Janet Jackson - Saturday - Pyramid Stage George Ezra - Friday - Pyramid Stage Liam Gallagher - Saturday - Pyramid Stage Miley Cyrus - Sunday - Pyramid Stage Tame Impala - Friday - Other Stage - Headliner The Chemical Brothers - Saturday - Other Stage - Headliner Vampire Weekend - Sunday - Pyramid Stage Ms. Lauryn Hill - Friday - Pyramid Stage Janelle Monáe - Sunday - West Holts Stage - Headliner Christine And The Queens - Sunday - Other Stage - Headliner Two Door Cinema Club - Friday - Other Stage Jorja Smith - Friday - West Holts Stage Bastille - Friday - Pyramid Stage Billie Eilish - Sunday - Other Stage Hozier - Saturday - Pyramid Stage ...

John Peel stage is a lot smaller in all fairness, still big but not as big as the “other stage.” You get the gist though, they’ve treated their headliners (and other big acts) correctly there and given them actual billing near the top. Dropping random headliners in a wall of names isn’t really a great way to announce them or give them their kudos for being booked as a headliner.

She can feel how she wants to feel about it. I know I’d be a bit annoyed if I’m booked as a headliner and I’m announced way down in a wall of text. Like give them their flowers, it’s a big moment.
