somewhen after the middle of the month is my guess.

It's normally very quiet for announcements the first couple of weeks of the year.

Thank you, and yes that makes sense.

Anyone heard BMTH's new single Medicine? I like it, but very different. 

[Andre91]

I think the next announcement will come at the end of the month. Architects tour finishes on the 19th, I belive.

They’ll probably be focused on putting the headline names out first. They were very sluggish and spontaneous confirming the undercard last year.

Don't mind them going for a different style there were some great, more electronic sounding tracks on the last album like follow you. This just sounds a bit dull though imo, loved the last two tracks though and I'm still pretty excited for the album.

I'm not sure if anyone was still expecting them for this but The Strokes are playing New York on June 2nd, so it's first weekend or nothing now. The Latitude rumour seems much more likely.

Yeah, very unlikely they come to the UK/Europe then back to the US and then back over here again for the festival tour a few weeks later, sadly. 

Also noticed Mitski is on that lineup on the 31st May. Does that solve that particular APE mystery? Can't remember which day she was expected for.

Bon Iver day 

[ConfidenceMan]

Any solid tips on who is playing the Saturday of weekend 2? Flying over for the Bon Iver gig and just debating whether I want to make a weekend of it or just stick to the one day. No interest in BMTH.

Flew over for the LCD day last year and had a great time so no issue just doing the one day again if I need to.

[kingcrawler]

Tame Impala have been announced for Boston Calling which is on the first APE weekend, so I reckon they’ll be the Saturday headliner for weekend 2. Them and Foals make sense for the remaining two days.

I dunno. Tame Impala and Pond sets at PS on Friday and then they’re both announced for We Love Green (ffs) over that weekend too.

Ah I didn't know about We Love Green. Where else is there for Kevin and the lads then? Parklife and Glastonbury are the only things that come to mind, unless they do a big Finsbury gig but not sure that would sell very well.

R+L probs.

[the wonderwhy]

Bombay Bicycle Club return is confirmed, though the statement reads as though shows are coming at the end of the year rather than over summer. 

[RaphPH]

If Massive Attack are the next headliner than APE has fizzled out already in its second year...stop the clock...

Hyde Park is looking dull with Who and Florence...

Has there been a worse year for headliners ever across the board? I thought last year was bad... At least Prima stuffed the middle-card....

Am I really late or is the BMTH announcement today new?

Really late

[R Shah]

Next week should have a fair few announcements. 

 Hoping one of Foals/Vampire Weekend will announce APE following the release of new music. 

Saw Architects at Wembley last night they absolutely destroyed it oh my god - they should be announced for the BMTH day this week.

It’ll be worth the wait IMO

You have an idea who the next announcement is then?

I am thinking it will be those two. Other outsiders are Tame Impala and The Strokes but sounds like they're tied up elsewhere 

Only reservations I have about Foals is that one of their last shows was victoria park. Hope it is Foals though

[dentalplan]

Vampire Weekend seem perfectly timed and sized to do Citadel instead. I think if they were here then they’d be headlining BKS and Primavera instead of lower slots at DTRH and Mad Cool.

Looking at that We Love Green lineup; they seem to have recently confirmed Sunday will be the day Tame Impala and Pond play there. So Saturday is perhaps feasible if if they're willing to do three shows over the weekend - six for some of the members I think, depends on what the future overlap will be.

Yeah but can’t say. But it’s good 

[JSmurphy]

Tame Impala, King Gizz, Pond. That's the dream right there.

Can you rule out anyone we have said that isn't right?
