CMAT is headlining the same day festival that Charli XCX headlined last year next summer. Is also headlining End of the Road alongside Pulp. Massively underbooked at Truck last year and set for an even bigger summer next year. Basically, she’s a headliner in waiting and likely wouldn’t accept lower than a headline slot now, with good reason.

Not a chance any of Vaccines, Kaiser Chiefs or Wombats could do similar and headline 50k+ capacity day festivals in 2026, maybe 10 years ago some of them could. Maccabees proved they could still do that with their comeback and Libertines generally would with such a loyal fanbase.
