Yeah the dates would work in theory but why go to the trouble of doing a big tour announcement graphic with APE only noteworthy by its absence.
Should've just gone to the rescheduled Birmingham date a few weeks ago like I planned then. Woops.
Not out of the question a late offer could go in. But certainly insinuates nothing is happening at the moment

At this point Florence could only do the 24th or 27th, hopefully we'll know more once their tour ends on the 8th
Florence is most likely out now she’s announced the summer tour with no APE. There would be no reason to not include it if she were booked at the moment.

Sorry about the employment situ and didn't mean to be a dick. Was more aimed at another poster on here who was insisting belligerently there was no guarantee of more dates.
I’m actually going to keep my mouth shut before I end up like the guy from the printers a few pages back.-

Who could have thought that a festival that runs many more than three shows over two weekends ever since it started would be running many more than three shows over two weekends this year!
Who could have thought.
Love the sarcasm.

It's not a copy and paste. This is in the application system itself rather than the website content.
Point this that they're actively soliciting applications for those days, which means that they'll have had to put them live with X amount of places.
That’s interesting.

I've not been paying close attention so apologies if this is already known.
For whatever it's worth, MyCause opened up for volunteer applications today - and in addition to the 3 already announced dates (Friday 18th, Saturday 19th, and Friday 25th) they're recruiting for Thursday 24th, Saturday 26th, and Sunday 27th so I'd expect those are the remaining dates still to be announced.
They only seem to have the three days on their website. Although it does say in the description it’s a 6 day event. I suspect that’s more of a copy and paste from last year than anything else.

Just to point out all those dates are in indoor arenas, as Cornucopia (assuming this is the same show she did in America in 2019 and 2022) is a big theatrical production with surround sound and visual effects. If she does APE or any other festival it'd be a separate show with an orchestra like Bluedot last year.
Yep, it’s all arenas shows. Probably with a great attention to detail.

I’m one of absolutely shit loads of people my age I know that are in exactly the same situation. Whereas there are now loads of 20-somethings who are property owners because they are being bankrolled by ‘the bank of mum and dad’. Do some research into the economic prospects of millennials.
I’m 40 and my landlord is 26 😂

My instinct is the language barrier means there is less awareness/chatter on WB on the continent than there is in the UK, so safer to announce there.
I think it's deliberate they are delaying their UK dates and I agree with you, I think it will eventually wash over here as well.
I think it’s probably more cultural than language, but in principal the same thing.
I wouldn’t expect them to play in the U.K. this year, and with APE already having the MIA situation, I would be surprised if they booked Arcade Fire. -

I wonder if they are seeing if the anger at Arcade Fire will die down and then they announce an Arcade Fire headlined day.
I suspect it will, as long as no further allegations arise...
It’s possible, there’s history there with AEG.
I still suspect something like a Lana Del Rey exclusive is more likely.

Really?
You mean no more announcements now, but some announcements later on surely.
I would expect so, but everyone is playing cards close to the chest after last years flood of events, and the lack of headline level acts in cycle this year.

Do we think if APE is just 3 days that someone else might be doing dates at the park but not under the APE umbrella?
No. License hasn’t changed

Just 3 days? wow
should all sell v well i think at least
Still think it will end up at least 4 days.
But nothing appears confirmed yet -

Are we expecting two more APE days to be announced (i.e. in addition to Stormzy, Strokes and Field Day)?
No more announcements.

4 makes no sense. It’s a major cost to set up the infrastructure, why not use it?
2 shows last year undersold and to run the days is more costly.

As in...wait until after her tour finishes or you don't think it's happening at all?

I hope that you're wrong! I really want a Florence ape date at the very least
Don’t hold your breath at the moment

There will be more coming, i think crimson meant only strokes/field day are being announced this week
Florence is likely we think - tba once her uk tour is done
1975 could also be similar, currently doing their uk tour too
That’s not what I meant… 🙂

Definitely been long enough for her to come back - anyone remember how her day sold last time?
30k ish.
There was a great thunder storm in the middle. -

Was answering the question on here earlier about how many more days still to come, not the timing for the announcements.
Me too 🙂

So we're expecting at least 2 daily lineups this week or they announcing the full slate.
There are only 2 to announce at the moment.

Two female headliners has to be a good thing.
Maybe a hint they are shifting focus overall after last years troubles as well.
