retromoz Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 FFS. just give Nadine Shah one of the headliner spots THAT she FULLY deserves, so the speculation can bloody end and we can just look forward to a cracking gig by a cracking artist! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuna Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) still have Biffy Clyro down as one of these (which will probably sell pretty well, even at this stage). no idea on the other Edited February 25, 2020 by Tuna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Yeah it basically has to be Biffy at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dales Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 2 hours ago, xxialac said: Biffy and Royal Blood? I think they would be a decent set of headliners for the last days. My thoughts are that Royal Blood might be the more likely as we know they are headlining festivals in May and then are still about for Victorious in late August. My assumption is that they will do more this summer. Maybe finish at APE in May before going to Europe before heading back to the UK for Victorious?

Considering the last couple of years have had big electronic acts on the Friday, I think these guys could be a safe bet. Maybe the delay on announcing the Friday is because they had to wait for the Disclosure tracks to drop? They're at Lovebox... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilirocker Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 I thought it would be useful, to maybe do a list of potential headliners for the remainder two days - just based on certain people touring and playing at other festivals - I may have got this all wrong, so apologies if so: The Libertines Lana Del Rey (if Emily Eavis doesn't classify this as a festival) Placebo Foo Fighters Flume Pet Shop Boys Four Tet Vampire Weekend Two Door Cinema Club Lizzo Solange 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A number of summer dates but none in the South of England yet. O2 gig on 6 March hence no announcement yet. If you chucked in the likes of Editors and Suede I think you’d sell some tickets.

xxialac Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 This time next week we will have one name as a minimum. Wonder if we will get new names for the Kraftwerk day. I highly doubt it's selling well. They are a decent name but most who wanted to see them will have seen them by now. And the undercard is great but not that commercial.

JoeR Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Four Tet playing Junction 2 at Boston Manor Park on Friday 5th June, so maybe unlikely to be at APE. There should also be expectation of a female headliner being announced. Edited February 26, 2020 by JoeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizzo would be perfect with her star on the rise. I don't think Solange would sell enough. I don't think Noel Gallagher's high flying BIRDS count.

Guy Honeymoon Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 I can't believe it's only 12 weeks away and they still have 2 whole days to announce. Do you think this year will be the last year they do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
