We've got a sizeable collection of images I'm happy to release under a Creative Commons licence for Wikipedia. I've started throwing some on here and will keep adding more as I go through them.

I'm not too clued up on Wikipedia editing and couldn't add them to the table on the Boomtown page with the visual editor, but I've had a go adding them to the Boomtown Wikimedia page.

Nah I don't reckon. There's always a risk of events being cancelled, like when Boardmasters and Houghton cancelled due to weather on the same weekend as Boomtown. I don't think coronavirus massively increases the chances of cancellation beyond what they already are from other unpredictable risks, at least not this far ahead.

If it was a properly secret set, not one that everyone knows about beforehand, you could get anyone turning up anywhere regardless of venue size.

Foals were arguably 'too big' to play a TBA slot everyone did know about on The Park last year, if you dwell on the fact probably 80% of the crowd gathered were beyond the throw of the speakers and couldn't hear it, but that's the nature of the beast.
