That's more to my liking and would be all over that if I had not already committed to be at Victorious. Should be a good day.

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.

He actually played a lot of his own stuff throughout that set, he played tracks off an album he specifically released for that gig and stuff from his Polygon Window record and material from Collapse, SAW period, Lisbon Acid from AFX and stuff from Caustic Window.  Yeah he always drops other stuff that catches his ear too, raising the profile of other electronic artists that he mixes into his own productions and Weirdcore on the lasers and visuals.

Not huge on that Field Day lineup, think it will be a pass from me

Feel like its quite different to last year's - removed all of your Folamour type acts / denis sulta, mella dee etc

Field Day is good. Bonobo, Jon Hopkins, Sudan Archives, SBTRKT, Fever Ray, etc... V cool. 

Pleased with The Strokes too. Was meant to catch them at Primavera Sound last year but they cancelled the weekend I was there. Yeah Yeah Yeahs are great too, and I'll have to dig into the undercard a bit. I'm not too familiar with a few of those names. 

I'll definitely get tickets for one or both of these Id say.

Girl in red is great and blowing up right now, Amyl are an excellent punk band, black midi are absolute chaos and you might love or hate them. Angel Olsen is lovely too. We'd be there if we weren't doing field day

Thanks - stuck on a few tracks from each and I recognise Girl in Red and Angel Olsen already. Guess I know more than I thought!! 

Amyl is new to me, Black midi is a solid no. I'm not into that current brand of noisy chaos but if I recall from my one trip to APE in the past, there was a lot going on so easy to skip something I'm not into. 

After not really feeling a lot of the line ups for the big euro fests this year, I'm glad I can at least mark a single day event into the calendar. 😅

100% in for The Strokes day. How much were the first lot of tickets last year?

£80 for strokes last time (although that had a bigger undercard, so maybe inc inflation about the same i'd say)

Surprised theres no big London Fred Again show this summer yet

Still a decent bit of stuff to announce - both the other 3 APE days and other fests

Fingers crossed for a cheap ticket nearer the time for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and then leave nice and early 😄

If memory serves it was really difficult to get cheap tix last year.  Even Twickets didn't seem to have anything below face value, was really odd.

The Strokes sold out last time so I think I might just purchase straight away - this is definitely a weaker lineup though than 2019's

things to look out for:

team tickets (usually 6 for the price of 5, a good £15 or so off each)

2-4-1 only happened once last year, around mid july. It did have all dates, even the ones closer to selling out

Twitter was a gold mine, we got all our tickets for £40 for Disclosure, Field Day and Tame Impala

edit: i'm going to wait for cheap tickets actually 🙂

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
