Would it surprise you to learn that we thought CMAT’s set was really, really (really) good? We hope not, seeing as she’s one of our Dork 100 cover stars and also the best pop star around. The world has finally caught up with our love for Dunboyne’s greatest cultural export, with a whopping great Pyramid Stage slot, just two years on from teaching the crowd to two-step over at the much smaller Woodsies. It’s the biggest stage in the country, it’s televised, and it’s absolutely brilliant
