any news/rumours for this yet?

only Missy Elliot

[daviddaviddaviddavid]

I presume James Blake for one of the days, playing primavera has links in the past, new album.

Line up announcement January 15th

[gregory]

Anyone figured out how the 1200-1030 / 1030-0300 tickets are gonna work on a practical level? How are they gonna kick out everyone with a 'day pass' at 10:30?

Presumably the late night stuff will be in the warehouses- so they'll have fresh wristband checks when you go in

Ah okay, thought it was all in warehouses.

The 2nd stage is in the warehouse are but they have outdoor spaces too, so as above, would guess the 2nd stage will finish before the outdoor stages, kick everyone out and then recheck once the headliner finishes at 10.30pm.

Primavera takes place the weekend before Field Day, there should be some crossover. I crossed out the acts already confirmed for APE and who played Field Day last year, which leaves us with:

Feel free to download and cross off other acts if they're elsewhere etc.  

& Janelle hasn't sold out her Wembley show in July so she won't be there.

Here's a (perhaps) overly optimistic (though the did say it's their "biggest line-up ever") guess for the lineup;

James Blake
Courtney Barnett - Stereolab 
Steven Malkmus - SOPHIE
Homeshake - Cate Le Bon

FKA Twigs or Robyn *
Jarvis - Hot Chip 
Dirty Projectors - Empress of
Fucked up - Lucy Dacus

After-party: MODESELEKTOR / DIXON

* (not sure Missy Elliot will actually play this, but think they'll get a great female headliner)

[gregory]

Lineup announced in 24 hours

Any final leaks/guesses/etc?

Your FKA twigs headlining shout is a good one. I’m inclined to go with that.

if Stereolab and SOPHIE are there, so will I!

a friend just messaged me saying he's heard rumours of Migos and/or Bonobo. I have no idea if these are true and he's not even sure of the source. Bonobo is doing a handful of dj sets in the summer, one of which is in Paris on June 2nd. He doesnt have any live shows though so I imagine if he plays it'd be a dj set. This rumour is almost definitely false but thought it was worth reporting back regardless.

A late night bonobo dj set would make a lot sense.

Surely it's going to be mostly electronic/dancey music again...

I guess (hope) the daytimes will go back to indie stuff and the late night stuff will be more dancey. 

last year seemed a bit of an outlier, previous years seemed to have more guitar/other music right? (2017 had Julia Jacklin, Kevin Morby, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Loyle Carner, Run The Jewels, Slowdive, Thee Oh Sees, Whitney in a single day for example).

it's two days again this year so I'd expect one day being mainly indie music and the other being electronic/hip hop. I missed last year as was at Primavera Sound but it sounded like a bit off a mess, despite having a strong line up.

[Sean1234321]

Well it was two days last year and I don't recall seeing any rock/indie on either day, unless some of the smaller names were and i just didn't know. 

I'd love it if they had a rock day this year...the times I went between 2014 and 2017 were excellent so I know they can pull it off.

oh right I thought it was one like in 2017. The first two editions I went to (2015 and 2016) were both split like that.

[Sean1234321]

Last year was all electronic/jazz stuff. 

I really don't know what they'll announce tomorrow...my gut says more of the same, but I would like to be pleasantly surprised.

The fact they have the £20 more a day 'after party' from 1030-3 makes me think a lot of the electronic stuff will go there, and the day stuff will be more band based. Also the fact it's 2 days again means more acts being booked and hopefully guitar / non DJ stuff.

2016 was a fantastic mix of both IMO

[Guy Incognito]

yeah 2016 was banging. The 2015 was crazy too. I only went to the Saturday but both days were stacked.

Yes blimey, 20+ acts I'd really wanna see in 2015. Let's hope the magic is back in 2019.
