    I dunno the Bjork day kinda throws a wrench in that doesn't it? At least on the top end of the line up. See what yr saying tho.

    Hmm only really Father John Misty out of the whole thing imo. Beck branched out into pop and R&B and stuff after about four albums, don't really feel anyone else needs arguing.

    But yeah I don't expect it to be 100% true to a rule, it just looks that way when you scan over the lineups. As I said also, they could just completely do away with that on the second year.

    Genuine question: Why are people hoping certain acts appear on an APE presents day, and not the festival weekend - and visa versa?

    I went to a day of each this year and didn’t noticed any difference between the two. What am I missing?

    I said it on last page but I see the difference as the first weekend 'Festival' being more pop and dance oriented with rappers and DJ's and the indie bands it has drawing from that sort of thing (eg. dance-punk, indietronica). Then the Presents shows has stuff like The National and Nick Cave which is starkly different so that's more rock-based. There are some that could play both but mainly that's what divides it.

    Yeah perhaps, in all honesty, I never really understood the huge difference between the festival and presents, they both had the same structure and kind of interchangeable acts.

    I feel like the festival is more of a dance and electronic thing, and the indie bands there have that element to their sound, while Presents is more rock-centric. Obviously some acts are interchangeable; Future Islands and St. Vincent coulda been at the festival, YYY and Beck coulda been Presents, etc. Could completely go by the wayside in the second year of course.

    Bon Iver would probably fit both because the new stuff is all glitchy and that but dates-wise I think Presents works best.

    If the first announcement is anything like last years, I would like to see Bon Iver announced as the festival act, and David Byrne as the presents show.

    Bon Iver w/ Sharon Van Etten, First Aid Kit, The Staves, S. Carey

    David Byrne w/ Robyn, Benjamin Clementine, Parquet Courts

    That Bon Iver bill seems more like an APE Presents bill. Although I kind of expect that’s what he’ll do as opposed to the festival, what with it being one less week that they’re in Europe and it being more suited to the style of music they do.

    I'm confused. I thought this batshit Bring Me the Horizon/The 1975 coheadline idea was based on BMTH's album coming out the day The 1975 tour finishes, not vice versa?

    Anyway, the first headline act announced will surely be Foo Fighters, or if you don't think them then whoever else doesn't have other conflicting dates or album releases to think about. There's usually one of those and they're quite often announced first.

    This festival was a shambles last year. Regardless of the line up I hope people go to a more organised festival. The festival does not deserve your time or money.

    You see, I immediately wrote off ever going after the tales from this year but it's hard to believe they wouldn't have put effort into improving it for next year. and they've said as much as well. Live Nation might cut massive corners here and there but they're the biggest live events corp for a reason and they'll be putting work into the future of this event.

    They also announced Bjork and LCD Soundsystem in the first batch, all of them headlined that first edition.

     

    Nah you're both wrong-zo. The xx, The National and The National's main support acts were announced first, then the poster there was released a week later announcing the main attractions of the festival.

    Were way bigger in 2017 than IDLES are now surely

    Yep definitely. Like, we're expecting Idles to be overbilled (lack of a better word) into 5th/6th based on current hype around them; we were expecting Blossoms to be around the same slot without really factoring in any hype and then they were put up to 3rd.

    Mid-main would be fine for Idles as it gives them somewhere to go on the next album - R1 headline would be a step up from there, or similarly from high R1 next year to 3rd main. The problem with bumping them up too high on their breakthrough album is that they really have to deliver on the next album to stop from plateauing like The Vaccines did and Blossoms inevitably are doing.

    Uhmmmmm I don't think so. APE was more similar to Primavera last year.

    Primavera and All Points East naturally share a lot because they are close together but there is a large overlap between bands for All Points East (and Primavera) and Mad Cool. For instance, Bon Iver and The Strokes are rumoured for All Points East and have been widely suggested for Mad Cool. 

    The announcements could quite easily not be connected at all actually, but it's possible if it's a band doing a big announcement day like some of them do.

    TWENTY ONE PILOTS, Two Door Cinema Club, The Offspring, Brockhampton, LSD, Alkaline Trio, Hinds, Blood Red Shoes, Goat Girl
    R1: alt-J, Vince Staples, Charli XCX, The Amazons
    DS: Noisia Pit: Coheed & Cambria FR: Drenge

    FOO FIGHTERS, Skepta, All Time Low, Cage The Elephant, Flatbush Zombies, Section Boyz, Kodaline, Sick of It All, Milk Teeth
    R1: Marshmello, Miles Kane, Idles, Yaeji
    DS: Nero Lock-Up: NOFX FR: Metronomy 

    THE 1975, Lana Del Rey, Vampire Weekend, Good Charlotte, Wiz Khalifa, Marmozets, Fidlar, Code Orange, Yonaka
    R1: Limp Bizkit, Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals, The Internet, Against The Current
    DS: Sub Focus Pit: Bowling For Soup FR: The Hives

    This one’s a little more for me but the placings are a bit all over the place. Can’t see Metronomy being a FR headliner; certainly can’t see alt-J dropping down to headline R1 or Limp Bizkit headlining it twice in a few years. The Offspring are a bit too high up at this point and Wiz Khalifa, Kodaline and LSD seem way low. But if it can get me Vampire Weekend>Lana del Rey>The Hives then I’m not complaining.

    Aye that crowd wasn't there for The National full stop, and they don't exactly have many/any songs or singles that would have casuals going 'oh I know this one'. The setlist was a shiter for those of us there to see them, but we were few and far between and it was mostly just people camping up for Foos.

    Reports here suggest that a lot of (previously) non-fans came away having enjoyed the set. My experience of it was far enough forward, it was mostly fans and it wasn’t exactly popping off until something we knew came on. Didn’t really get the sense loads of Foo Fighters fans were confused that a rock band was on in front of them.

    Bon Iver have played enough headline gigs. If they still aren’t known enough to the masses then maybe they could do with a major sub slot.
