Black Keys playing a show on May 1st... could they stick around until the end of the month and play APE?

That show is at Shaky Knees in the US, right? They don't seem to cross the atlantic this year...

That’s the only show announced, so no. But I think it’s possible for that to change, given they’re active in May

Doubt it, not exactly a ticket shifter.

I dunno. Their last U.K. gig was co-headlining IoW five years ago, so there’d be demand.

^Also APE aren't exactly getting huge headliners, they seem to put more effort into the general line up than just the headliners imo.

Massive Attack day is definitely announcing tonight/tomorrow I've heard.

Fingers crossed we get another day announced as well or they're leaving it very late.

Thanks for the information, hopefully it will not be just them announced.

Yeah, if they're smart they'll do two days this week. No reason to delay, unless they are sitting on some massive names and will sell out anyway (which they don't seem to, although they do have one 'massive' name!).

I've given up waiting for APE and decided to book Primavera instead.

I'll be kicking myself if Frank Ocean and Arcade Fire end up being announced though.

Nothing pointing to them being active at all. And no new album.

But never say never, I suppose.

[GrumpyRaver]

Has Janelle Monae been ruled out of this? Could be in with a shout...

I'm surprised at how busy today has been for big announcements so I do wonder if doing two shows this week might get lost with all the other stuff going on sale this week. Though I do sympathise with the point, in that if they're not careful, they're at risk of getting left behind and therefore shows selling slower.

In fairness, I do wonder if a generally strong day with a not necessarily strong headliner might be what gets announced.

cannot wait to see Tame Impala and Kraftwerk for free man

[AAlex]

Where have the tickets been given out at discounted price in the past, just from the mailing list? I've only ever heard of them being half price/virtually free from people on here.

Going to wait and seee who's announced either side of the Tame Impala date and see if its worth going down for two days I think.

Just like Fight Club, the first rule of Show Film, you don't talk about Show Film 🤐 Well maybe not first rule but I'm sure its in there somewhere in the terms and conditions. 😊

Oh yeah Dice promotions, I know nothing about them either and if I did I would still know nothing about them.

But on a serious note, it cannot be sustainable for them to keep doing this indefinatly.They really do need to up their game on the headliners, so they force people to buy or risk missing out. My partner bought us tickets for Kwarftwerk but I know a few people who are holding out 100% convinced that neither them or Tame Impala will sell out. So expecting to at least get some sort of deal near to the festival dates.

They must know what they're doing far better than me but I've always thought 6 days is a bit too much. They've had some great days on and most of the days I'd go to but can't help thinking it would sell a little better just concentrating a strong set of days across one weekend. But I'm not gonna complain about cheap/free tickets.

Another week without an announcement then 

[charlierc]

I was about to wonder if BST Hyde Park announcing Kendrick would mean an announcement for this one gets delayed.

Anyone looked in timeout yet?
