Looking at this, they could well be, and maybe one or two others off this billing.
The twitter post sounds more like a headline though, so maybe they're going to do a Scottish thing - maybe Kelvingrove, who have been announcing recently.
I meant are Belle and Sebastian big enough to headline ATP?
-
Belle and Sebastian are teasing an "exciting event". Could they do APE?

Excellent

I wonder if Jenny Lewis might be doing backing vocals with Postal service and then play as part of the undercard. She has a new album out.
Any other calculated guesses of who might be on the Postal service/ Death cab undercard?
-
It's a shame they haven't been able to announce any of the undercard but I reckon this is the day I'll get a ticket for
-
The guys at the Brudenell usually co-promote a show at the Piece Hall every summer and get someone great, but next year already looks jam packed so maybe they won't.
-
I wonder if they could do LCD Soundsystem headlining with Idles as main support seeing as they have made a song together

I just put it down to competition.
There isn't a single festival in Europe that has a real top level, mind-blowing line up for me this summer. Lots of them are very good, lots of them are very inconsistent, and lots of them have great acts and some very perplexing ones alongside them (I'm gonna say Calvin Harris at the Primavera top line here alongside some very good bands)
I'm happy with the Strokes day, field day is good, Stormzy day will probably be good. Haim isn't my bag and I think it looks quite weak in the undercard, and while I like Jungle, if they're announced as a headline act, I'll be quite surprised if it's a really successful day.
I think Field Day book the acts themselves for their day, which is the day with the most cohesive line up.
The rest of the days feel incomplete. I know what you are saying, not a huge amount of bands touring this summer but when you company this summer's line up with previous years something seems different.
-
The lineups this year seem quite patchy.
Some decent bands but not particularly exciting line ups. It's lacking cohesion.
I'm wondering whether the main booker has left and the rest of the staff who are left are trying to scramble around to book acts.
-
I was hoping The Walkmen and Future Islands would be on the Strokes day. They may yet get added I suppose.
-
Warp records has just posted this "London"
-
I was wondering whether The War On Drugs, Yeah Yeah Yeahs or Phoenix might be big enough to headline APE?
-
I was thinking it might be held in May again.
Tame Impala and Massive Attack were both lined up to headline in 2020 and they are both playing Primavera around the time.
Kraftwerk are playing in Germany next May and Iggy Pop has a European tour around that time with no UK date and a gap at the end of May. They could both be back for APE after being lined up to play in 2020.
Also having it in May would mean that many bands playing Primavera would be on tour around that time, Gorillaz, Lorde and Nick Cave would all be decent headliners.
-
Is APE 2022 likely to happen in May or August?
-
People are moaning about the headliners but isn't APE running with a significantly reduced capacity this year? They won't be generate as much money through ticket sales as usual if they can't get as many punters. So they won't be able to book the size of headliner as previous years.
-
MBV are teasing something.
I bet they could do a MBV / Mogwai day?

I wonder if they are pushing hard to try and get Tame Impala after all, meaning that this is the last day to be announced and a further gap.
Would be bold given the obvious but I can see they might try and go for it.
I would imagine they will be aiming to get Tame Impala back next year when they are at full capacity and I think they will want a UK headliner incase international travel is interupted.

2018.
Maybe the kids got into the Kooks via their parents. Seems weird that they would be popular with a younger audience when they had their hits 15 years ago

I really can't see a Kooks indie day on the main weekend because of Reading - weekend before or after definitely but not the main weekend just because of Reading. Probably would still sell well but not sure about a sell out (which it easily could if it was on a different weekend)
Reading isn't really indie anymore though is it? And Reading and Leeds is aimed at under 25 year olds, surely they're not interested in the Kooks.
-
I would imagine that gigs and festival will have have to become more expensive as musicians no longer make money from their recorded music in the age of Spotify.
Are other festivals pushing up their prices?
-
I'm going to throw something out there. Don't dismiss it off hand. I'm going to suggest -
The White Stripes
Next year its ten years since they split up, they have a greatest hits coming out, they have never fallen out, I think they would be a good fit for APE and The Raconteurs played last year.
I can see it happening (at some point anyway even if not next year)
-
Headliner predictions 2021:-
Tame Impala
LCD Soundsystem
Fleet Foxes
Massive Attack
Gorillaz
Tyler, The Creator

Is there an All Points East 2021 thread?
-
At least one member of Kraftwerk and Iggy Pop are over 70. That day can't go ahead.
I wonder why they have not yet announced a cancellation, waiting for the nod from the insurance company?
All Points East 2024
