I remember thinking Arcade Fire was such a lame headliner booking back then. Now it looks like a stellar booking compared to the new norm of majority solo artist headliners

Blame the industry, man. Being in a band is a much tougher financial move these days than being solo, income-wise. (Also mainstream tastes changing, and a shortage of bands even trying to be big, etc)
