I don't think you can really put him anywhere else. Like his music or loathe it, he's one of the biggest musicians in the world at the peak of his popularity. 9 songs from his most recent album reached the top 10 at the same time, every single one got into the top 20. The big one was number 1 for about 4 months. Clearly a headline act on the main stage.

I agree with the sentiment but this is the first time I have listened to any of his tracks all the way through - I can see why I haven't - many love him but he isn't my bag

In his own words he was truly embarrassed about that as he said most of the songs were not good enough to grace the top of the charts
And fair fucks to him as well for being honest about it

Not sure this is suited for the last nights headline act, talented lad but just seems a bit 'meh' especially after watching the killers.

More a reflection of the dearth in music at the moment.I don't think you can really put him anywhere else.

To be honest I've heard all of them dozens of times, despite not being a fan, he's just absolutely everywhere these days, constantly in the charts, on tv shows, adverts, even supermarkets. Have to say there is something very impressive about the fact it's literally just him, an acoustic guitar and a loop pedal. Interesting to see how he constructs the songs with the loop. There's not much artistic merit, and it's completely devoid of any real statement or edge, but it's incredibly popular and the crowd looks big, and they're all into it.

Yeah, when your b-sides and album fillers become best sellers just because of your name, it's hard to imagine there's anywhere else to go but down from there.
