They’re free and start their UK tour like a week after. I don’t think they’re playing London either. They're at Brixton, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned this but someone pointed out that his shows at the moment are orchestral and possibly only for more intimate venues. We will see though...

Matt42 Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Also I’m enjoying the slow rush so I’m probably gonna try and go to the Tame day. I don’t see why not as I live literally down the street from viccy park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaarlie Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Any chance of Thom Yorke? Not sure where he'd be on the lineup in fairness, if he'd be headline worthy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be too risky to try and book him for a day festival outside the US. Very expensive and if he cancels (and he has previous, including at the last minute) you are screwed. Might be worth a gamble for a multiday, single-ticket festival. Edited February 17, 2020 by xxialac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they tried to get him. Someone clearly pulled out so I’m just trying to think of who. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone clearly pulled out so I’m just trying to think of who. NIN was surely one of them, as has mentioned on here. The other two might just be tour-linked announcements. Think Ocean is slightly too expensive and too risky, despite the Coachella ties. I'm assuming we will get another announcement or two in tomorrow's Time Out.

And neither will Bombay or Kooks considering they've already both been announced for a handful of festivals and not headlining some mid tier events. I think at this point AEG will just be looking for half decent acts to save embarrassment. Edited February 17, 2020 by JBarbour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marctington Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 This might be an unlikely suggestion because of the dates but Eminem has been (semi) confirmed for sziget in August, they say they are waiting for him to announce something himself first. It could be another act doing something similar here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitch321 Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Thought Smashing Pumpkins were being looked at as a replacement for NIN day, that fall through too? Also are RTJ too small with the 4th album due the month before APE, would surely shift more tickets than some of the names being thrown about, Brockhampton in UK too for maybe sub?

VanderlyleTea Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Are alt-j a possibility? They are playing a few festivals this summer in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
