Do you think we’ll get another APE date announcement in the next week or two or just the Field Day news? Still inhaling sweet copium that we’re getting something Strokes-related

"come to nanny" Field Day marketing today

I still reckon Arcade Fire might be here. Plenty of people will be happy to ignore the allegations if it's a band they like. I mean Chris Brown is doing an arena tour, including 4 nights at the The O2, and he's a piece of shit...

Very happy to see Aphex Twin back again. At the last field day I got too spangled while watching Slowdive, we went into the hangar after and it was too much for us so we had to leave 😂. Also got very lost leaving and kept heading towards RTJ instead of the exit.

Warp records has just posted this "London"

hmmmm.... compared to Chemical brothers last year?

Hed be second stage headliner like Kraftwerk were IMO

Absolutely no way RDJ is playing in daylight.

maybe, not worth us both digging into statements really

I hope they bring back the hangar type stage they had for aphex

Reckon the other name will be good old Fred - two very different acts who are huge with their audiences and will sell a lot of tickets with their names alone. would be a bit of a weird crowd, although with kraftwerk/chems and then a ton of acts for younger people it was already a bit strange last year

They literally built an absolutely massive indoor venue just for him so he could have the light show he demanded. He was absolutely the headliner.

[zahidf]

If aphex is the headliner... I can't see it selling that many tickets tbh. He's not really a proven draw to get 50k people in a park. Will need a VERY strong bill under him

Step forward the UK’s poshest ticket shifter, Frederick John Philip Gibson

Considering he hasnt performed in 4 years and nobody knows when he will decide to do it again it might be an incentive for a decent amount of people to go. Especially at the price point. He easily would sell out a few nights at Brixton ( rip ) and tickets would cost similar. 
 

Doubt it wont be a strong undercard for Field Day. 

[The Crimson King]

So what do we think? 
Field Day and a Strokes announcement Mon or Tues with tickets on sale at the end of the week, just in time for pay day?

We were at that last year and it was a weird mix, although we had a lot of fun. To be fair Erol Alkan and Squarepusher were there to appeal to the older Kraftwerk/Chems crowd earlier in the day.

oops, someone’s getting sacked in the morning…

I don't know about this. I was a fairly massive fan of Aphex Twin in the 90s, but I saw the last 30 minutes of his set a Field Day 2017, after Slowdive, and it didn't do much for me. It sounded more like a DJ set. There is nothing wrong with that, but I've already ticked the box (seen him) and this lineup doesn't really motivate me to go again. I've found other Warp bands playing original music (Plaid, Squarepusher, Autechre) much more enjoyable.

For me, not much to get excited aboutand with the other gig that weekend Stormzy that weekend is a right off. If only these shows were the bank holiday weekend. I would have no issues with Field Day & Stromzy clashing with Victorious.

The *one thing* they had to be careful not to post!

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Hmmm, I was hoping for a few more harder acts around Aphex. Think I might sit this one out.

nice to see YYYs there. Seen pretty much all of the other big names elsewhere though so nothing to draw me in at all.

[Guest]

I'd also want a guarantee they actually have decent sound for the strokes given the shambles in 2019. Probably won't go to APE again after that unless there was a good exclusive and couldn't see em elsewhere. 

[Suprefan]

So we're expecting at least 2 daily lineups this week or they announcing the full slate.
