Expert comment
Knebworth will turn day trips into three-night micro-breaks
Argue that mega-gigs now behave like mini festivals, with fans booking longer stays to make a weekend of it rather than one-night crash pads.
Expert comment angle: Have Airbnb’s UK policy or trends lead offer this take to national news and business desks, citing observed stay-length patterns around past stadium tours and festivals.
Why: A clear, contrarian prediction on trip length shifts moves the story beyond nostalgia to a travel trend editors can quote.
