Ah, the venue. The eternal mystery. Will it return to Leicester’s Victoria Park, or will it move somewhere new? I heard a bloke in a pub swear he saw a lorry full of portaloos heading towards Bristol. That’s basically official confirmation, isn’t it?
There’s also chatter about a secret ‘Park in the Park’ concept, where the festival takes place in multiple locations at once. Imagine the logistical nightmare! It’d be like herding cats, but with more glitter and fewer meows.

My money is on a return to Preston, mainly because I want an excuse to eat a butter pie while listening to Bob Harris. It’s a solid strategy, and I’m sticking to it.

The line-up rumours are where things get truly unhinged. Someone on Twitter claimed ABBA Voyage holograms would perform live. Look, I love a good illusion, but I don’t think the park’s electricity grid can handle that much sequin power.
More realistically, I’m hearing whispers of a Take That reunion, but only if they promise to do the dance from ‘Never Forget’. If they don’t, we riot. It’s in the contract, I assume.
And let’s not overlook the ‘Classic Gold’ segment, which always brings out a surprise act. Rumour has it that Status Quo might show up, just to remind us all that they’re still rocking. And if they play ‘Rockin’ All Over The World’, I’ll personally start a conga line that lasts for days.
