Dave//Lewis Capaldi//Two Door Cinema Club//Fontaines D.C

Bring Me//Idles//Enter Shikari//Aitch

Day 2

Liam Gallagher//Gerry Cinnamon//AJ Tracey//All Time Low

I was wondering why Slipknot cancelled Knotfest instead of just postponing to next August, but could have been due to ticket sales.

with 5 other headliners no way can they afford him i'd think? the rest would have to be complete shit

------

1. did panic count as a headliner? while we're safe from fall out boy and imagine dragons, they are possible right?

2. will ticket prices go up like y not etc do to pay for all this? their budget is going to be pretty stretched at last years prices (inflation and corona costs + lost income too) with a bigger lineup

[foolee]

Royal Blood / Billie Eilish
Bring Me The Horizon / Dua Lipa
Liam Gallagher / Dave

[RarerThanDandyB]

If they are changing the format. It doesn't give vibes of a good thing. Its like they will go cheap but do two different headliners to suit people. Gutted until proven otherwise.

Day one can get in the bin but there’s enough on day 2 & 3 to make it more than worthwhile , yes please something similar 

[RarerThanDandyB]

Bucket hats at the ready stinks of boring Capaldi, shite LG, shite Courteeners, overrated DMA's and bands like that playing major slots. Im ready to be disappointed. I am hoping for a BMTH, Strokes but I am expecting the above

Edited August 28, 2020 by RarerThanDandyB

[TheWaters]

Had some info that points towards BMTH headlining. Thought the ship had sailed but with this format it’s deffo plausible and I’m fairly confident of my source

[Andre91]

I reckon we might be clear of The Wombats and The Kooks as their day at APE will hopefully be carried over.

All first time headliners so unfortunately no Strokes 😞

I dont hold much hope. Its gonna be Brexit Festival with boring bucket hat acts that will appease school leavers. I think this is the end of RandL as we knew it and it was getting this way year after year.

If that's true you have made my day mate. Well over due in my opinion they deserve a headline slot at this stage

Didnt mean to click, but I disagree. It has always been a festival for school leavers and people under 20

Fair enough, it has, I suppose its generally annoying that the genres I love are being omitted nowadays and it is annoying. I dont wanna see LG, Capaldi, Catfish etc. but school leavers do. I get the festival books what sells and does its best in bad times but I really wanted to see Rage and IDLES tonight and for that to not happen and the edition next seemingly having these terrible acts, its so frustrating. 

BMTH is a great start, they were awful at Glasto but great at APE so headlining Leeds would be brilliant start.

[Andre91]

Watching Billie’s set on iPlayer and that crowd still blows my mind. If she headlines next year, I imagine the crowd will be even bigger somehow.
