Anyone going to The Strokes day solo? I'm going solo and up for meeting new people if so!

I could be! This is a surprisingly hard sell to the gig going group. Just debating it at the moment but I'd be up for meeting up if I do nab a ticket. No problem going to a gig on the lonesome but an all day festival on the other hand....

Anyone recommend any budget hotels near by for 4 blokes please?

Great! Thanks!

When will the tickets be sold out? Any idea? What is the capacity for this event?

40k capacity

Absolutely cannot wait for APE again this year. Tickets for Chems and The Strokes are already in the bag, though has anyone got any idea who the last headliner will be for the following weekend? As a huge Tame Impala fan, I hope its them. That night at Citadel last year was incredible... 

This might have been already discussed earlier in the thread, so if it has then I apologise...

(First post btw, hi to all!)

[DropBeat]

Booked tickets in the presale. Hyped as enjoyed APE so much last year!

Hoping for another strong line up announced for the following Saturday

I'm fully expecting this to be a no, but just so it can be 100% ruled out, is the rumour of Blur a while back in the thread true?

Even budget hotels in London are pretty expensive on Saturdays, not to mention its a bank holiday as well.. 

I'd like to be proved wrong though. 

Edit: Assuming you're talking about Saturday 25th

As far as I'm aware it was a rumour and won't be happening

Still possible but would be weird with them starting their US tour a few days later and coming over to do European festivals only a few weeks later. Thought similar about The Strokes though and look how that turned out. Anyone else got any realistic shouts? Struggling to think of anyone. Could easily be someone "off-brand" though like BMTH this year and Catfish last.

If you went last year what time are the doors and what time did the music start?

Think it was 12pm doors. Set times here:

noel g has  a gap in his schedule and no london gigs in the diary, he could head a day with ian brown/doves etc. However hopefully this wont happen because

a) it's probably too off brand 

and

b )it's the night of the champions league final so he may have it deliberately clear

Perfect thank you! I did Finsbury Park for QOTSA last year and the bar situation was dire, hours to get a drink. Was it better here?

Yeah I was there too, it was horrendous, just stayed sober. Might be the odd queue but it's nothing like that at APE, you'll be fine.

Was at The National and LCD last year. Don't think I ever queued more than 5 minutes for a drink.

Yeah, I'm aware of this! But the poster was ruling out acts it definitely was not so just thought I'd put that rumour to bed (not that I actually thought it was true, but one can hope.)

Good to hear! How does it compare to a Finsbury Park gig as an event?

Foals have added a second date at Alexandra Palace, I take it they wouldn't be trying to shift(according to Google) 20,000 tickets in London if it was them for the second Saturday.
