Fatboy Slim is basically the festival's house DJ at this point."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Right? He's been there so many times they should give him a key. But this is the 25th anniversary of the modern event, so they went big."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Twenty-five years since the revival. It runs June 17th to 20th at Seaclose Park, and tickets go on sale Monday morning at 8."},{"host":"Laura","text":"The undercard is stacked too: Becky Hill, Bastille, The Cardigans, 5 Seconds of Summer. My group chat is already arguing about which day to go."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Let me guess, someone wants to see The Cardigans for one song."},{"host":"Laura","text":"One song? They have more than 'Lovefool', Claudette. But yes, that's exactly what they said."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"The organizers called it 'a real mix of artists', which is polite for 'we couldn't agree on a theme.'"},{"host":"Laura","text":"Hey, a festival that gives you a 90s DJ, a 2000s rock band, and Robbie Williams back to back is doing something right. It'll be rammed."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"And the license runs through 2033, so they clearly think it's working. Fair play."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Meanwhile, slightly quieter news: eBay says people search for iPods every two seconds around the world."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Every two seconds? That's insane for a product Apple killed years ago."},{"host":"Laura","text":"The nostalgia market is real. People want the click wheel, the wired headphones, the whole thing.

Either it's a passion project or he's very controlling."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Or both. But Dodd's a big talent, so this feels like a smart first lead. Get the prestige romance before Hollywood locks her into franchise work."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Bridgerton's global reach is huge. She'll bring an audience with her, which is exactly what a small drama needs."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Right, and it's out— well, they didn't say when.
