And I know I'm dropping a lot of names, but I also got to meet John Krasinski and Emily Blunt a few years ago when their plane had to divert to my airport due to foggy weather. He was a little distracted by the circumstances and wasn't very friendly, but she was super nice.
Sounds like a pretty interesting job you have there !

I went to CMC Rocks Queensland for the last two years (Country music festival) and both times have been pretty disapointed with the 'headliners' this year it was Dixie Chicks, Ive just loved them forever but after their performance , I really wouldnt bother again, extremely late to begin (after waiting for the stage to be polished to their satisfaction) they came on but pretty much zero interaction which is kind of the usual deal at a festival. Mediocre at best. FGL headlined last year and were pretty great, basically how you hear them on radio is what they delivered on stage, Lee Brice was boring as hell, love his music but he's not great in front of a crowd
I saw Jill Barber from Canada a few years ago, just her on a tiny stage in a back bar in a pub here and she was AMAZING ! I just tend to think that live concerts really show up who has the goods for real
