    would love to big thief here but not headliner size shirley?

    Got two dates at hammersmith apollo next month, so they're bigger than spiritualized if that's the benchmark

    (although I think both them and first aid kit the same year is unlikely)

    These split up and formed a new band.

    That new band is headlining another day with Folamour, Pink Pantheress, Badbadnotgood, Nia Archives and a few others. 

    Jungle? Had to do some detective work for that, hadn't heard of their earlier band

    Really gone heavy on pushing Lizzo, sounding a bit reading and Leeds festival that. Cat Stevens not the legends do we reckon or quietly boosted to it later?

    I reckon Yusuf/Cat is the legend, but damage control if you will to promote a female headliner means no room on the top line for him

    It’s a context/grammar joke.

    ”Eats, shoots and leaves” reads differently from “Eats shoots, and leaves”. Just highlighting the shortcomings of the written word.

    Let's Eat Grandma confirmed

    Not sure tbh, I think 1975 are much bigger than both of those? Foals are dull as dishwater for me.

    Personal preferences aside, if we're talking UK tickets shifted, they definitely are. Played the o2 twice on each of their last 4 tours (including the upcoming one). Biffy have played it twice I think, and Foals zero (Wembley arena/Ally Pally x2 seem to be their biggest capacity gigs)

    Nobody cares about Siouxsie Sioux coming back it seems.

    I saw that and it’s just a shame latitude has gone to pot. It was my local growing up so I used to go every year, but it’s just becoming hostile to everyone not in campers/family camping

    Honourable mentions - deathcrash, Claire Rousay, Jockstrap, Chat Pile, BCNR, Just Mustard, Mobbs, Michael J Blood, Kemi, Hinako Omori, Dead Rabbits, Unthanks, Lorraine James, Wu-Lu, Tomberlin.

    I imagine you've heard them, but just in case, check out Claire Rousay's collab with More Eaze (& More Eaze's solo album) also from this year!

    Only UK show of the year for Stormzy. Wonder how the undercard will be curated genre wise. 

    Just my reckon, but the pic suggests to me that it's more a Stormzy event than APE (if that makes sense). So, I expect more UK hiphop & grime as opposed to a distinctly varied/indie support card

    ah right i was quite unsure but thought TWOD weren't even in contention to sub - seems they aren't given people are saying Park.

    Cheers, yeah, they're a weird one to place. I keep thinking they're not so big, and then they go and play the o2 every few years

    Most acts could do sub or other headline - i'd say Prodigy should firmly be on Other.

    They definitely don't fit well under Elton

    Sorry! I meant The War on Drugs, should've been clearer

     

    Prodigy definitely fit other headliner over subbing imo

  11. Could The War On Drugs sub? They don't necessarily have the household name or hits, but I think genre-wise they're pretty well suited (but not too similar) to either of GnR/Elton. Sunday looks like the day they'd play, and I'm not sure they're enough of a clash genre-wise to put on the other against those.

    Of course, could always be Rihanna/a curveball headliner on Sunday, in which case Other headliner would fit

    Do any festivals have their own forums? 

    Latitude used to; then they eventually shut it down and I think some of the users made their own after. Don’t know if it’s still going

  13. Perhaps I'm missing a trick here, as I'm not a tech expert, but if some of the innocent/accidentally banned people in this thread have found a workaround for the IP ban, couldn't the targeted users also do that?
