All Points East Festival 2019


Recommended Posts

Any chance the BMTH Support is Shikari rather than Architects, dont think it'll be YMAS with how much they're banging on about Reading and Leeds they'd have mentioned APE by now. Thought Jordan specified English but he didn't actually, just said a 'particularly big rock band' could be anyone from that description.

It's definitely Architects.

No London date for Suede on their April tour plus the Primavera date make think they will be here somewhere. I hope so. New Order, Suede, Doves - I would have some of that.

Noel Gallagher day? Sounds like all the Radio X bands, he’s doing fests and hasn’t got anything for London yet

My friend has been told by someone in the "know" that Blur playing Parklife in full is one of the dates.

So ridiculous it might just be true?

Weird one. But okay. Maybe it'll be the 20 year show of 13 instead :D

if Blur were doing Parklife in full, why would they do it at a (comparatively) piddly festival when they could earn far more?

Not happening.

Doubt Blur are playing, but Gorillaz played at Dreamland Margate like 2 years ago for no reason. Seems like solid enough evidence for me?

It is/was a festival site, and they held their festival there. They weren’t just playing the waltzers.

APE is a decent-sized festival and they could headline. 

That isn't the issue.

The issue is that to play Parklife is to announce to the world that you are no longer relevant and are having to rely on old albums to drum up interest. An old album that now sounds exceptionally dated.

Why would they play APE when they can easily do Hyde Park, as proven like... three times?

You know that's completely different 

It is and it isn't.

There is some fluidity in all of this. Bands don't simply play the biggest possible venue every time they play. Radiohead played the Roundhouse two years back when they could have sold out the O2 (and had done before).

There are many reasons why Blur won't perform Parklife at APE next year:

  • Albarn's busy elsewhere that time with TGTBTQ
  • Coxon's got a new solo album due in 2019
  • Alex has got cheese to make
  • Blur don't need to chase the "album anniversary dollar" - they have too many tunes across their back catalogue to worry about that
  • The already play all the best bits of Parklife in their current sets, who is clamouring to hear Lot 105?
  • They don't seem the types to cash in for a one off gig, again, they don't need to. they seem to come back on their own terms.

Agree with this, but Blur do seem to have a special affinity with Hyde Park, they've done it three times in under a decade. If they were to announce an outdoor show in London it's hard to imagine them playing anywhere else.
