The slot is third down under James.
I can't see it being him. Especially with Self Esteem playing below whoever it is, who's extremely femanist playing below a guy kicked out his band for beating up a woman. Victorious being a family festival as well. Won't be him.
My main guess of Shed Seven looks less likely now as they didn’t include it on the list of Festivals they we’re playing.
Hoping it’s not the Karzi Chefs.

WOW. just heard Toms new track.he will fit that gap between James and Phonics. Cant wait.what a BANGER.
Do we think festivals will book him given his fairly recent past?
Edit: If you’re referring to Tom Meighan of course

yep jake bugg is good but wont be the one thats sells out friday even tho not the headliner,thats why still think its tom or h classics
I’ve re-listened to the radio interview. Re the Friday he says -“there’s still a lot of acts to come. I think it might be a sell-out” so I’m not convinced it’ll be one massive name in that slot. Looking at the Superstruct Fests and who’s around my guess is still Shed Seven for that slot.

Jungle have previously been announced for 30 July

Too many Festivals over that Bank Holiday weekend. You have the majors Reading/Leeds APE and Victorious and several similar to this like Camper Calling.

Just browsing the other festivals, and I hadn't realised Bastille are playing both Victorious, and Reading & Leeds. Does that ever happen usually, and if so, could there be any more crossover do you think?
Quite unusual I’d say, especially towards the top of the bill.
-
Capaldi, Flo and Foals are my guesses. Think that would look pretty strong to most?

why would they say there are lots to be added friday and the special act will sell out all tickets? Unless they are going to add castle to friday . very strange but exciting
Maybe add Idles as a possible. Can’t see how anyone can play third down and sell out all the tickets!

how about blondie castle headliner
Are we sure the Castle headliners are not already announced? I could see The Wombats headlining against Nutini?

The move to August hasn’t helped IMO. Plenty of other options. I’m a Nick Cave fan but I’m off to Victorious instead which has a jam packed line up for my tastes. As said at the time you could make a good three day festival out of APE’s six dates. I reckon they think Londoners will just go for a day out almost irrespective of line up.

Friday TBA.....shed seven? would be a perfect fit
I think this is the most likely outcome. They are at Camper Calling that weekend with James so very much in the frame. Kaiser Chiefs would be my second guess. They’re also around. Not a fan personally but they seem to still retain some popularity. Agree that wouldn’t leave much for the yoof on the Friday but as I’m old I don’t really care 😂
-
Jamie T is “back in the game” but more likely to pop up at Reading/Leeds I reckon.
-
Boom! Suede playing Common Stage before Fender at 8pm. Perfect for me!
-
Tickets lifted, accommodation sorted, genuinely buzzing for this. Top line-up for me.

I was presuming Ann-Marie was a castle headliner but they normally say who they are and she’s just listed as playing Sunday. Presuming she’s under Sam Fender
Think The Wombats will headline Castle against Nutini, which would make sense.
Hope NBT are against Fender but I’ve got a horrible feeling it will be Suede which would be a nightmare for me.
-
Line up looks massive now TBF. That Sunday is great for me. Hoping Suede won’t clash with Fender.

Sam Fender, Paolo Nutini, The Liberines, Primal Scream, Suede, Ann Marie, Inhaler, Bastille, Kula Shaker, Example, White Lies, The Subways, Turin Brakes, Any McDonald, Andy C and a Hot Chip DJ Set…
Oh and a comedy lineup with Joel Dummett and Kathy Ryan
Not too badIf that’s true then I’m now in. Funny old game.

Was thinking maybe The Libertines as a “special guest”
-
Groan. What a disappointment that is. Looks like Nick Cave and maybe The National at APE for me then.

Or Snow Patrol
Aren’t Snow Patrol Irish?
I’ll go for Biffy. There were some rumours of a “heavier” band ages ago and (prepares for abuse) I don’t think Gerry is big enough to headline a Festival of this size in England.

Long time not posting.
Just thought id give you a heads up, being the festival price going up you would imagine its going to start being placed alongside Superstruct's other festivals in mainland Europe in August.
Flow Festival roughly the same time has Gorillaz, Florence and Nick Cave.
Could really see the other 2 headliners being Gorillaz and Florence, with Nick Cave on the bill too.
Sziget has nothing really available, either Reading acts, Kings of Leon at Boardmasters and Dua Lipa too big.
EDIT - They also run Oya festival in Norway and Gorillaz and Nick Cave are there too.
I also didn't realise they run Wacken Festival now as well. Would be awesome to see Limp Bizkit under Gorillaz [yeah I know thats not happening]
Think Cave is unlikely (sadly). He’s playing Rock en Seine and All Points East that weekend and three gigs in a row might be too much although technically he could play Saturday.
Gorillaz are playing APE/Field Day so don’t know if that rules them out or not.

Foals and Sam Fender not big enough to headline A festival headlined by The Streets, Madness and Royal Blood last year….
Come on now
George Ezra headlining Boardmasters but a co-headline here….
Lets stop it
This Festival looks to have a bigger capacity than Boardmasters so I don’t think that’s impossible.
I never said Foals weren’t big enough enough to headline, in fact I suggested them as possible headliners!
As for Fender, I’m not disputing his current popularity but different festivals cater for different audiences and this Festival tends to have well established headliners. That said, if Fender was to headline, I think it would go down well.
Rockaway Beach 2023

OMD and Peter Hook & The Light announced as two of the Headliners for the early January shindig.
Pretty safe choices but reasonably popular I would have thought.
