The fact they’re having to wait and miss this wave of announcements suggests its going to be someone yet to be doing uk fests. Still thinking Skepta

will definitely look unlike any other lineup if its skepta/some other act not really doing anywhere else

Yeah definitely, don't really think they need to worry anyways either, because I'm pretty sure all their camping has sold out now - so just day tickets left to shift, don't think LG or Florence will be a struggle at all.

It’s gunna be someone shit I can feel it. No need to try now might aswell get something boring for an easier ride for security

Yeah, but someone cheap will be shite. There's no need to splurge and go for Stormzy etc when your big money making tickets (weekends) are all gone.

We will probably get Skepta or AJ Tracey etc

Definitely won't be Stormzy

Many people will be happy with Skepta and he was booked originally.

[wro_lap]

Stormzy is a UK exclusive at APE anyway

[Dukey]

Intrigued to see who we will get 

[stanh]

I'm gonna go with Skepta or Bicep (Live), maybe an outside shot of Chase & Status (Live) or maybe even Calvin Harris, I know though that I said that he's probably too big earlier in the thread, I would have said the same about LG as well before he got announced. Calvin would be a massive (and expensive) get, so I reckon Bicep or Skepta are more likely, especially with it just being day tickets left to shift (I think). 

[wro_lap]

I'm thinking Skepta for this. Bicep feels one of those massive bookings to headline the second stage they could pull off against a big headliner (a la Kano and Jamie xx). Skepta feels appropriate, and would mean you have a nicely balanced trio of headliners

[Dukey]

Could this be Boardies? 

[DomDom1984]

Torquay, no?

[Properbigfan]

I’d be so happy with skepta.

chase and status live would be a letdown.

Reckon we’d ever see a co-headline at boardies a la bicep live and royal blood or something ?

also seems bit weird giving exclusivity for a festival already sold out. 

[Ljs1981]

Could Jamiroquai be an option for the Friday headliner?  - he’s at performing at both Victorious and Lytham Festivals this summer

Headlined in 2017 but then again that didn’t stop them taking George Ezra back from 2018 

also virtual insanity is popular on tiktok rn so would make him more of a “relevant” booking

Doubt it - think they've moved away from that kind of booking

I'm expecting a dance act / rapper for the final name tbh

[Dukey]

They’ve confirmed next week we will get 100+ acts including the Friday headliner

A bumper spread!

Reckon it could be an absolute wildcard pick. Not sure if they are entirely out of British festival conversation, but perhaps Muse?

To be honest, I'd be shocked if it isn't a rap or dance headliner added.

Fair enough!

Don't think there's anybody on this website who would consider Chemical Brothers a poor booking.
