kjvffm Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Does anyone else think Halestorm could do it if it was a U.K. exclusive? They are an arena band now so can see them shifting 40,000 tix if this is their only show? Not sure they’re really the type of act to fit the bill but could be a similar type of undercard to the bring me day last year. And they’re at least female fronted if nothing else!

Its the same heads at places like Truck Festival, so presumably we can think of headliners from that sort of pool. Loyle Carner is headlining Wilderness - similar-sized event to Truck - and has just been added to APE in a non-headline slot so it's not really the free-for-all that everyone's talking about. Kooks, Wombats and Bombay Bicycle Club might not be headlining other regional fests so that obviously doesn't reflect well but their last London tour shows each were Wembley Arena, Wembley Arena and Alexandra Palace x2 so the only thing that puts them out of the ordinary is that people here don't really want to see them. 7 hours ago, xxialac said: If Ian Brown headlines this, the last flicker of respect for this festival I had will die out.

They're doing a Scottish 2020 exclusive at Playground Fest so I assume they're going to be doing something or other in England. This definitely seems way too big but could potentially sub someone? I do think this would be too big a gig for them but I didn't realise that about the Scottish exclusive, and it does raise the question of where they could be announced at this point if they're elsewhere thru Glastonbury.

jannybruck Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Lizzo and Chvrches would be a fantastic lineup. But yeah, no indication that Lizzo's doing European shows sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats so weird is the time of the festival - APE should have left them for community half their fanbase have exams (not so much bombay although i have a friend who is gutted she can't go as its mid exams) Kooks and Wombats together is far from weak i'd say, kooks did community last year and people were putting wombats in the frame to headline it this year - not awful at all i'd say. Bombay day is a smaller booking i'd say although theres obviously major overlap in kooks-wombats fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his sets are half Roses, half the big tunes from his solo career I could see it being pretty popular. As long as he doesn’t bring anything from that god awful album he released last year...

daviddaviddaviddavid Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 They headlined citadel there a few years ago, last time they came to the UK. I’d guess they’ll do an indoor venue next time but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
