All Points East Festival 2019

[suttttttt]

Oh Sees tour ends on 24 May at Bearded Theory with no London date and tickets still to shift. Reckon they will be at this but not sure which day. Probably a better fit on The Strokes day but logistics might make them more likely for the Sunday?

Could you say it's a tame booking?

I'm really hoping for Grimes and MBV to show up at this. I mean, they'd fit wouldn't they? 

 

 

[Dronx]

Do you think they’ll announce any other uk dates? Ideally somewhere a bit further North?

No, don't believe it is

Ah - was hoping it was them, but logistically it would be hard

If they’re playing this then it wouldn’t be a total shock to see them pop up at Parklife or TRNSMT as a weird Liam Gallagher or NERD-type booking to get the Early Millenials through the gate. Probably not though.

New order ? With Ian Brown and maybe the streets in support?

[BlackFoxx]

Didn't someone way back mention something about Modest Mouse being around in Europe May time? Would they be big enough to do a day here?

The Saturday with the Strokes sounds great! What will the presale be? Do we have to hurry in the general sale on Friday?

Have you not signed up to get emails from APE? They sent one out today; it's got a presale link that activates at 9am tonorrow

From last year’s experience: Am I going to be able to see both Strokes and Raconteurs? Do you think they end up on the same stage?

From memory, last year, the 2nd stage headliner finished as the main headliner began. 

So I left just before the end of Beck to catch the beginning of Bjork for example. You may miss a bit if they are on different stages but you'd definitely be able to catch most of each if its the same as last year.

Here is last year's Clashfinder to give you an idea:

Either the above response or they’ll sub on the main stage. Based on placings on the poster last year, more likely on the 2nd stage. Yeah Yeah Yeahs played before LCD though so there’s a chance it’s that.

They seemed to blunder through the timings last year. I think they’ll give it a bit more thought in advance for next time cos people weren’t best pleased.

[Karlos12345]

Thanks guys!

Really? Can't say I noticed any issues myself.

They faced a fair bit of backlash about promoting top tier acts and then clashing them. I think they even moved Future Islands considerably earlier because people were unhappy about the clash with TWOD.

Obviously some clashing is unavoidable but I suspect it’ll be more considered next time.

It was a pain to decide whether to see someone you’d really like to see (St Vincent for example) or have a chance to be near enough to the main stage for the headliner (Nick Cave for example).

The only ones I attempted were Lorde and The xx (where I was right near the back for the xx) and Beck and Bjork (where I was really successful at getting to my mates in a decent spot, and only got “tutted” by one person on the way there).

Fair enough. 

Yeah clashing is definitely going to be unavoidable though for The Strokes day unless the likes of Parquet Courts and Jarvis Cocker play early in the day, which I can't see happening. 

There's worse reasons for a backlash than 'There's too many good bands to fit in' though.

No I haven't signed up.  Any prediction how fast it will be sold out? Because I have to sort out about that UK trip with my mates first before I buy the tickets.

Not for a little while - only one day sold out last year - but with that undercard it's hard to tell.

There'll probably be the option of getting them through 2nd hand sites (eg Twickets) nearer the time though if they do sell out while you're planning.

Sure, predictions are hard to make, finger crossed.

I may combine the APE Saturday with the Slam Dunk at Hatfield on Sunday. Sounds like a good London Weekend

I don't think it will sell out. Such a massive site and seem to recall only the Nick Cave day sold out last year. Strokes didn't sell out Hyde Park at all, albeit capacity there perhaps 50% bigger.

With that lineup there’s no reason why it shouldn’t sell out.
