That’ll do.

Just the one weekend. I think AEG will have something else in the park the weekend before as well.

"Hello everyone. The team are thrilled to finally reveal that All Points East festival will be returning to Victoria Park on the August bank holiday weekend 2021!"

Although it is over 4 days! 

[Hutchmaster]

My birthday weekend, get in!

[Gilgamesh69]

Reckon we'll get an announcement this week? Announcement on Tuesday or Wednesday, presale thursday, then sale Friday. I hope this day returns!

 

[xxialac]

Anyone know if an announcement is expected this week?

For one night I’d guess. Reckon the rest will be drip-fed over the next 2 or 3 weeks. Imagine the above is the most likely day to return. Can’t say I’ll be there. 

[xxialac]

These were the outstanding days I thought...

Agreed. Getting something vaguely approaching two of those evenings would be a great result.

if the Tame Impala day returns this will be an insta buy for me! will be a good alternative considering I missed out on R&L tickets!

Won't be on the bank holiday weekend given its Reading I would have thought

hope theres some good days off the main weekend as I have Reading tickets 😞

Looks like one weekend of four shows rather than two weeks of three maybe?

Clashes with Reading and Victorious I think? 

[Gilgamesh69]

so who's touring around then?

Yep and I’m meant to be doing Victorious! 

[xxialac]

I'd guess:

1. Massive Attack day
2. Kooks/Wombats day
3. Kraftwerk day 
4. BBC day (strengthened with Tame Impala subs)

• Tame Impala

I didn't mean literally. But many similarities.

[mike46]

I can see Wolf Alice doing one of the nights

Ah, well I'd rather not have 2. and 4. For the return of APE, it's a bit... shit.

[xxialac]

I wonder if they are effectively contracted to those bands.

Was a late cancellation after all...

[DaveSardine]

Have they announced 3 or 4 days?

My thoughts would be:

- Wolf Alice

- Skepta or Dave (Assuming no Wireless exclusives)

- Massive Attack 

[The Crimson King]

How about...

Massive Attack / Thom Yorke 

London Grammar 

Wolf Alice with BBC

Disclosure (Friday night before R&L)

 

 

 

[dannym]

Kano / Jamie XX Saturday night 👀

Might be ambitious, but potentially The Killers?

They just postponed their stadium tour to 2022, so I suppose it kind of simultaneously opens them up and puts doubt on them... Would they be too big?

I loved the Christine and the Queens day the other year so hope there's something I wanna see again!

They'll have booked their acts ages ago and don't see why they would book a more expensive act than planned at a time when it should be easy to sell tickets through pent-up demand.

Have also never booked an act as big as them.

And the Killers are in the US - will they be able to travel?

No chance really...
