Realise that there is no reason to trust someones 1st post on here.

 

However heard yesterday that there will be a big headliner, playing an album celebrating it's 25th Anniversary next year... Would probably be the biggest headliner they have this year.

Green Day? They've already said they've been rehearsing Dookie in full.

Green Day? Dookie will be 25 years old.

Or maybe Portishead; Dummy will also be 25 years old

1994. Can't think of anyone who fits the bill.

Green Day?

Portishead don't seem the type to play an album in full and they're not bigger than Chemical Brothers and were never quite as popular as Bon Iver are now.

Nine Inch Nails released The Downward Spiral in 1994, don't know whether they're the sort of band to do anniversary shows but definitely the sort of band to headline APE

[Gilgamesh69]

Parklife will be 25...

[ace56blaa]

Blur's Parklife?

No, Avril Lavigne's Parklife.

[Stuielooie]

All Points East have messed up the email and have Bon Ivers undercard advertising under The Chemical Brothers day and vice versa

[lessthanwill1]

Oasis - Definitely Maybe

[thetime]

Could be a long  list of ageing Brit pop bands you could mention.  

Now when was His & Hers released. 

[Tom_in_a_field]

yes... but only a handful have one's that would be perfect, and big enough, for playing a park in London.

[Guest]

I really doubt it'll be Portishead, don't seem like the type of band that'd do it, and Geoff Barrow has been busy with Beak>

[the wonderwhy]

Damon is touring The Good, The Bad and The Queen isn't he? So that would seemingly make Blur pretty unlikely 

[Rico_Pliskin]

Weezer? The blue album is 25 and they're also around Europe

I remember seeing Portishead a few times in the 90s. Was easy to get tickets and they played midsize venues. They were hugely critically acclaimed but they weren't as equally popular by any means. And more recently when they played Glastonbury a few years ago, they weren't on the Pyramid stage.

Do you really think Portishead would have sold out 7 nights at the Hammersmith Apollo?

Haha, I was suggesting it for the 25th anniversary album, unfortunately giglamesh got there a minute before me and made me look like an idiot.

Thats my guess.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

I would love Portishead to play, their rarity in the UK is enough to give them the press to sell tickets.

Green Day doesn't fit the All Point East demographic at all.

Bring Me The Horizon neither, but at least they can appeal to those who liked Catfish.

It's been 1 year they haven't really developed a brand yet, it's dissimilar to last year's but it's just a load of out door London gigs they could book whoever they want honestly. The way they market it will be different like the bmth one coming out in kerrang if that's true.

Did the second weekend have less stages open last year? Any info on that this year?

I'm guessing Portishead or... crazy one... Blur.

There's literally only been one festival so far. They've hardly established a demographic yet, I imagine they're still figuring things out. It's not like if Bloodstock suddenly announced Dizzee Rascal as a headliner or whatever

[Robrobrobrob]

What about Massive Attack?

[dentalplan]

Is Return of the Space Cowboy worth doing in full? Cos Jamiroquai have announced some gigs between 28th May and 4th June in Europe.

London gig in February (? March?) would likely rule them out I think

Wouldn't be the biggest headliner of the year tho would it? Mind you that's a pretty baseless clue
