lessthanwill1 Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Bit of a random mix isn't it?! I like it though! Been wanting to see John Maus for ages! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also doesn't seem to match Kraftwerk at all - could this be a mistake? Anna Calvi is also back. It's quite an eclectic lineup for the day for sure, but I don't think it's a mistake. Saw Marr twice this year (festival and own show) and had a great time, so no complaints from me if he returns. Just wonder where he'd play though; west arena headliner?

chilirocker Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Weren't Bicep and Forest Swords rumoured for the Kraftwerk day? Much more of a fit than Johnny Marr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Not a big Kraftwerk kid but that day is brilliant. This festival is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingers_mark Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Very random. If you're going to take time off work, preferred the look of the LCD Friday '18 and Chems Friday '19, got to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lessthanwill1 Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 So happy that John Maus is back! Wish this wasn't on a Friday but could see myself going to this - will wait on some of the other days to be announced though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mau5 Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 It seems like they couldn't decide between a theme of experimental rock and experimental electronic so they combined both of them for the day and added Johnny Marr in for some reason.

jannybruck Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Although I was baffled when I first saw the lineup, I actually think it makes a lot of sense in terms of demographic and who's going to buy a ticket to see Kraftwerk or want a day out from it. It'd definitely be weighted more towards an older demographic who'd absolutely be into Anna Calvi/Kim Gordon/Marr/The Orb/stuff that gets played on 6Music - but not necessarily some of the more banging trendier electronic stuff that was rumoured.

lighthouse Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Brilliant day. Maybe one of the best they've ever had, on paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmanuel Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Looks like it will be my first APE day since Nick Cave! I'm not even particularly old but I think the line-up is exactly my "demographic". Only down-side is that I'm not sure I can make it to the afternoon but I'd like to see Kim Gordon...

eastynh Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Johnny Marr made an Electronic album with Karl Bartos out of Kraftwerk, so there is a connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlierc Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Its strong but a bit messy in darting between genres IMO. Still, it does look pretty well put together. Although I will say I saw both Marr & Calvi last year on Strokes day so I'm a tiny bit surprised both are back so soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Shah Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Second Friday seemed always the younger crowd kinda day (Catfish, BMTH) but not this year obvs with Kraftwerk, nonetheless a cracking day! Royal Blood for Fri 22 May? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancers Stand Very Still Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Wow! I'm delighted with that announcement. Kraftwerk and Iggy were my two iconic must-sees looking ahead to the next festival season, so to have them on one day is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraftwerk, Neu! and Tangerine Dream? Would say this is a strong lineup for those who respect the classics across genres and other acts strongly inspired by them.
