Dookie will be 25 years old. Or maybe Portishead; Dummy will also be 25 years old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) 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.

finn_with_1_n Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetime Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Could be a long list of ageing Brit pop bands you could mention. Now when was His & Hers released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_in_a_field Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 yes... but only a handful have one's that would be perfect, and big enough, for playing a park in London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatteredscreens Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 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> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxialac Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 1 minute ago, eFestivals said: you're havin' a laugh. 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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 I would love Portishead to play, their rarity in the UK is enough to give them the press to sell tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaarlie Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 12 minutes ago, lighthouse said: 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?

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
