I think the issue with the Tame day is all the acts are so un-mainstream. I think artists supporting them should appeal to the mainstream more as the undercard really won’t pull in many more mainstream Tame Impala fans. The same problem was at Citadel too - anyway I hope theres free tickets so i can see glass animals my favourite band for £2.50 ( and tame too!)

Nah, Caribou have headlined Field Day, Secret Garden Party, Green Man, Citadel and others. Clearly people like them.

And they are second line at Coachella.

The Avalanches are a really nice addition to the Tame Impala day for me, also quite impressed with Yellow Days after giving him a listen as well, can't say I'd heard of him before!

Has there been any confirmation the days are six stages again? I know the APE ones were last year but the APE Presents had four and doesn't look like they're billing any as 'Presents...' for 2020 so didn't know if this had any bearing.

Also the crowd for caribou for citadel when they were before sigur ros was possibly bigger than for sigur ros who headlined. They’ll draw a lot in I think.

Wonder how this news would affect her date, if she is headlining

[atomised]

As there is no talk of rescheduling in there it may put her back on the list of possibles but thought Glasto had said that was her only uk festival date. 

[Glenn Coco]

Well shit.. had tickets for this next week

There's no way they are still looking for acts at this stage (unless someone else has just cancelled).

Could The Weeknd be a possibility for this with a new album coming out and no tour dates announced? He did a festival tour when his last album came out. I'm struggling to think of any headliner acts yet to be announced, unless they bring back The Strokes after the debacle of last year alongside their new album.

He announced tour dates a couple of hours ago for October including 3 nights at the o2

I didn't say they were to be fair

Completely missed this. Ignore my previous statement.

[Glenn Coco]

Not sure if it’s an ‘APE’ style act.. but what about Calvin Harris? These headliners are extremely white guy heavy.. but aside from Lana, there seems to be no one else available.

[Marctington]

I think there's only really 2 options, either it's another day like the kooks/wombats or it'll be someone who hasn't announced any tour dates yet and is big enough to make the APE guys wait. If this was someone who has already been announced for festivals like Calvin Harris, I can't think what they'd wait for. 

I guess they could be scrambling for someone? 

If we assume Bombay Bicycle Club are headlining one day, that leaves one left. Hoping for Eminem or arcade fire, expecting someone like Dizzee Rascal

Would be it be possible for someone like Dave to do a day? Would be a good time to announce after his Brits success and he's not playing anywhere else

Dave would do really well I think but most of the suitable rap/grime acts that could make an undercard have been hoovered up by Wireless and Lovebox and others. I can't really see indie or pop bands slotting in well with him.

I can't see Bombay doing it now unless it's a similar sort of cheaper co-headliner like the Kooks/Wombats day. BBC have already done a lot of London gigs in the past few months and I just don't think they'd have much pull for people to invest in a day ticket to see them.

Bombay have been a very easy band to see so far this year. Looks like their touring relentlessly. Can't help but think anyone who wants to see them will have done already. Still possible they could be a sub headline.

I love the band but have seen them twice already this year so would unlikely even fork out £30 for a ticket unless there was a solid set of undercards.

[DarthSaul]

Bombay Bicycle Club // Laura Marling // Lucy Rose // Gengahr // Sad Boys Club // Liz Lawrence.

£45 a ticket , would sell just fine I reckon, All Points East should give me a job 

[VanderlyleTea]

Bombay Bicycle Club, Primal Scream, Loyle Carner, Cat Power, Phoebe Bridgers, Joy Crookes, Liz Lawrence

[xxialac]

Massive Attack are doing Mezzanine later in the year in Japan.

Suppose it increases the chance they will do it at APE but would still say very unlikely.

On the plus side you could leave after Wombats and then beat the crowd to the tube as they watch Kooks.

“Crowds”

I completely forgot they subbed last year. I wish I hadn't remembered. They were so disappointing. Bar moving on up.
