They won't play either.

Probably not.

I assume they'll do a UK thing given how it was their core historic market, but I'm just not sure what that UK thing is. Maybe it'll be one of those things that just gets announced on a Monday without advance billing.

The festival last headlined by The Kooks? Don't be expecting The Strokes to play that...

That would be a sign of an increased budget. So yeah, its probably unlikely.

Has there ever been a festival where an act has headlined 2 years in a row? (where that act hasn't organised the festival) 

Oxegen 2008 and 2009 both had Kings of Leon headlining.

Or a more direct comparison to APE would be that Hard Rock Calling (as it was) had Springsteen in both 2012 and 2013

Strokes announced shows this month in Berlin and Paris, with a Belfast one leaked on the venue's website for 6 days after Paris (suggesting a London show). Reckon thats APE out (someone on the thread for them to return) and maybe Reading too. Surely no finsbury anymore too

I'm pretty sure it's possible to do a tiny show in February and then a big show o or festival in the summer. Really doesn't rule them out of anything

I would imagine they would be quiet good at the O2. I think the sound has been pretty good at all the O2 shows I have ever been to and you do get a great atmosphere in there. It's so much better then the large barn that is Wembley Arena.

At least at Wembley you can go for a smoke and the transportation options aren't one packed tube line or a boat, I'd rather avoid both if I can.

I am lucky as the O2 is not that far from me and so the end of the night is a quick black taxi ride home. It does make a huge difference to a night out if its in your part of town.

That should see a boost to the Roundhouse membership schemes.

  • Priority booking is not guaranteed for shows at the Roundhouse. We always aim to secure priority booking for Roundhouse members. However, most music gigs staged at the Roundhouse are a commercial hire arrangement with a promoter. It is ultimately within the promoter’s discretion to offer a Members’ Priority Booking. Therefore, priority booking cannot be guaranteed.

Would make sense with Vension - that was my first guess too! Luckily a friend has a membership!!

I live in Greenwich so the O2 is a 20 minute bus journey home for me. It's great.

Nice, certainly beats the crush of the tube. I know its not popular with a lot of people but if you live in that area of London its pretty good to have big name artists on your door step and a quick journey home 🙂

O2 priority also makes it even better,

One of my favourite evening games is trying to work out who's on at the O2 going by the people on the tube...

I'm surprised a London show wasn't announced along with the last minute Berlin/Paris/Belfast trio. Or any more cities for that matter. But then they do seem to do short bursts of touring, judging by their recent announcement for a few West Coast US dates in quick succession.

Kings of Leon also did Werchter in both 2008/09 and 2013/14. Probably makes sense they're being linked with it again for 2020.

And tbf Springsteen doing back-to-back Hard Rock Calling is a technical curiosity given it was done at two different venues.

Didn’t kasabian headline about 4/6 of the last t in the parks and then the first trnsmt- something ridiculous like that?
