I'm not attending this year but am still enjoying keeping on here for tips and recommendations. Specifically, thanks to whoever it was that flagged Mandy, Indiana, and Model / Actriz this week. Two new names for me that I'm really enjoying! The joys of PS - always something to find.

Full details posted on Instagram now - May 6 - bookings for VIP ticket holders May 8 - bookings for regular ticket holders May 10 - bookings for non ticket holders Details about deposits etc all on there too. Its 9 slides. You'll forgive me for not re writing it all. 😂

The National indoors is a different beast to the National outdoors. I've seen them at PS few times, at festivals elsewhere, and indoors half a dozen times. Far far better in a smaller space. Worth trying for tickets if you're in the city, id say. Albeit the likely Phoenix clash is a bit of a downer id say, given the National play again.

Don't take this as gospel on policies - but Mitski just posted on her Instagram that "all ages are welcome". So... Might be in luck.
-
Entire European and UK tour is sold out. I'd say there's plenty of unmet demand.
-
Huh this is pretty cool - I have no experience of bringing a kid (or being 15!) to APE so I'm no help, but I hope they can make it work. What a great gig experience it would be at that age.
-
I didn't clock that. Yeah, if I'm in London that weekend, I'll prob opt for PJ and Big Thief over Mitski, really.
-
Mitski is great. Not too keen on that undercard but if I'm in London that weekend, I might make an effort to get over. With that last announcement, what's the overall feeling about this year's event? Stronger/weaker than last year? Feels very much a case of trying to mint the next generation of headline acts in the case of Mitski, Loyle Carner, and Kaytranada.
-
Mitski has just posted that she has "festival news tomorrow" with her location set to UK. Could be? She's in the US from August 27, but the full European tour (which currently ends at Primavera Porto on June 6) is sold out, including four London and two Manchester dates. Edit - obviously only likely if the date is the 18th. If it's the 26th, that'd be very tough. London 26 and Detroit 27!
-
Madrid and Porto took the brunt of the rain. Enough for the next decade I think!!
-
There's no Ciutat equivalent for this, right? There's no mention on the poster and the dates don't allow for it, but I happen to be in Porto a few days before it takes place so just double checking!
-
I think there's a good mid range here. Headliners are flat (IMO) . But even those acts that I think are decent (say Idles or Jamie xx or Lankum) are either at PS or played it very recently.
-
Yeesh. That seems ambitious. So much for my hopes of Vampire Weekend. 😂 With Jungle and Dermot Kennedy last year, and Kaytranada and the Postal Service/Death Cab this year, I have to say APE is not predictable. I guess the cut off for what justifies a successful day of sales may be quite different to what we'd expect. At least in the case of cheaper acts.
-
You may have spotted but VW has announced a fairly extensive US and Canada tour across the summer months. There's plenty of gaps in there for additional dates so can't rule out a UK one but certainly feels less likely than it did a week ago. PS must be paying them quite a bit if they're only in Europe for one gig - back in Texas a week later so it's definitely not an extensive trip over anyway! Love the new songs.
-
Nothing to get my pulse racing there. The good acts have been touring on and off in the last few years and there's plenty of bad to balance them out. I wasn't exactly heading there anyway, but it's always worth keeping an eye in case of a Jai Paul ish surprise. Nada this time out.
