Tame Impala show is probably the most exciting one. They've got a new album coming out so should be a new production. Whereas Kraftwerk and Massive Attack will probably just be doing the same sets they always do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to catch them and Iggy Pop for a while, so the double and decent under-card ticks a lot of boxes for me. I'd love to be at both of the others too, but not willing to drop that much money on potential cheap/free gigs at this point unless they're absolute must-sees.

Their first gig is not until June - plenty of time to set up something special for these new headline shows. And they're seriously due a new album, wouldn't rule out new material.

Oh, I swear I read somewhere that it's going to be another Mezzanine set. Not necessarily a bad thing mind you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, it's because if you go on the APE site, the bio for Massive Attack says "An extraordinary collaboration connecting the dark, intense music and visual work of Robert Del Naja of Massive Attack with the thought-provoking vision of documentary filmmaker Adam Curtis." Mezzanine is definitely "dark", and Adam Curtis did the visuals for the Mezzanine tour. I know they did it last year but it wouldn't be THAT odd to do it again, surely? One year doing it at their own shows, another year doing it at festivals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One year doing it at their own shows, another year doing it at festivals The exact same wording was used routinely 7 years ago (!) to describe one of their collabs and which had nothing to do with Mezzanine. http://www.self-titledmag.com/massive-attack-co-founder-revisits-street-art-roots-with-limited-coffee-table-book/ I think it's just a lazy press release placeholder... Fully expect Massive Attack to do something different and a greatest hits setis more likely than Mezzanine. Maybe they'll theme the visuals around the environment?

visdave34 Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 Don’t know if you can draw conclusions for APE, but Best Kept Secret communicated the following about the Massive Attack show: “This show will draw from the full gamut of Massive Attack’s extensive catalog, from iconic debut Blue Lines to Heligoland.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relies on me convincing my mate to do Massive Attack though. He's on board for Tame, but I'm not sure I want to do one without the other.

RaphPH Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Just wild speculation here Strokes have announced many many interspersed tour dates and festival dates - no UK date as of yet (heavily rumoured to be Reading fest) - could they be coming back to APE after the fiasco of last year?

But then people would demand it for free if they bought a ticket last year following an acknowledgement. Can't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Honeymoon Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 There can be no way the Strokes could play Has there ever been a festival where an act has headlined 2 years in a row?
