Years & Years Sunday, Neil, as they’re playing a Pride party in Dublin on the Friday and Colourboxx (thanks @Somto Unigwe Raphael) on Saturday.

Bear with me here but:

If Sunday is the only day Years and Years can play. Does that pretty much lock in Pet Shop Boys for Sunday as well? Given they've performed together many times it seems likely they will guest during each others sets...

With that in mind and the fact PSB will be headlining then surely this makes my info of Kendrick headlining on the Sunday more likely?

Just saying etc...

How does PSB playing correlate with Kendrick playing? 

Can imagine Years and Years will be subbing Pet Shop Boys. Seems like a pretty obvious 1-2.

Yeah, seems no other place. JP headline would have them against PSB and they played Sunday Pyramid last time.

Weren’t they supposed to be up against Kendrick in 2020? 
 

Think that’s what he means.

Demographic wise if you’re going to have an artist which appeals to a younger demographic then having someone who appeals to a primarily different one seems logical.

Plus just filling in gaps if Foals are headlining the OS on Friday it rules PSB out for then, Macca headlining pyramid on Saturday (probably means a younger headliner for the OS)

So yeah I’d work on the assumption PSB are Sunday which fits with what I was told with Kendrick opposite on the Pyramid.

They were against Swift, Fatboy Slim was against Kendrick.

No they were up against Taylor before. But they were Sunday.

Nope, they were up against Taylor.

[dentalplan]

I am willing to be convinced by anything that puts my three headliners as Foals, Paul and Kendrick.

I stand corrected!!!

[Justcalledtosay]

Not feeling the Sunday as it stands personally. I’m feeling much better having Foals and potentially Simz opposite Eilish on the Friday though. Give me Macca on the Satda and I won’t complain about the Sunda 😎

[the wonderwhy]

Problem with the PSB v Kendrick logic is if they've lost a headliner they're unlikely to started faffing around with who's booked for the Other stage as well 

[LinvoyPrimus]

So this all but writes off QOTSA Friday then yeah? (sorry if this has been covered elsewhere...)

Foals - good for them, but seen them plenty of times and while they've always been solid, they've always underwhelmed me slightly. All Points East last year suggests diminishing returns.

Hoping for some good alternatives on WH/JP/Park.

i thought they were great at all points east ! they are deffo my headliner for friday night right now.

The sound was toilet so might have contributed!

I like them, and I think they're decent live, I've just seen it quite a few times now.

You’ve eaten pizza a few times but you wouldn’t say no if your mate came around with a four cheese deep pan!!!!

I enjoyed Foals at APE but they’re hardly an exciting booking anymore as they play fucking everywhere all of the time, and even with new material I feel like I’ve seen it all before. They’re my front runner for Friday night so far and I’m sure they’ll nail that slot, but not anything I can get particularly enthused about in the lead up to the fest.

Must be an All Points East thing. Sound for Strokes 2019 was crap. Does make me wonder if I am better off seeking other places to see Gorillaz or The National.
