Jungle confirmed as a headliner in APE's community letter.

Jungle's facebook yesterday reads:

LONDON > AUGUST > 2023 > SIGNUP

 

Note style detail of APE logo...

Jungle headlining this? Christ they really did struggle to book headliners this year didn’t they. No way that sells well. 

[Joshuwarr]

Jungle....really? I like some of their music but I'm really surprised by that booking.

The Haim day on the other hand is as close to you'll get as a perfect day of music for me.

Jungle still a big band. They are on their way back for a while innit, having released another pretty mediocre album.

They couldn't sell out 5k at the crystal palace bowl last summer....

If the six days include Field Day (and they do seem to treat it as part of APE these days), then that suggests they are going to have four days on the second bank holiday weekend.

So two days first weekend, four days second weekend with the Jungle/Erykah Badu on Sat or Sun and one headliner still to leak.

if we go to Jungle, i suggest we each put a name badge on a portaloo because there will be enough for one each

 

having a band that wouldnt sell out a small academy tour is incredible, i just dont get it, there must of been a headliner dropout.

 

 

i just cant see them thinking yes Jungle, thats a good idea, and i like them! 

[DarthSaul]

The success of Jungle will surely be price related too. Crystal Palace last year was 60 quid and fees with a very minimal undercard- if All Points East is 40ish and fees plus a good undercard maybe it'll do a lot better. But seeing as Haim is also 65 quid I don't imagine Jungle will be cut price.

Is now a good time to reveal that it’s going to be a Jungle DJ set?

[Glenn Coco]

Erykah Badu not headlining is bizarre. Surely she’s the bigger name when compared with Jungle?

If they are smart they'll bill it as a co-headline

even with a drop out genuinely think they could be better off not opening at all with jungle

i guess the undercard was already booked

[xxialac]

I think the above poster is right. 
 

They’d have to be stark raving mad not to make this a co-headline set.

I don't think it'll sell especially well, but they're an arena band still - well outgrown the traditional academy venue level. Played Ally Pally and Victoria Warehouse. Last year I remember they did Bristol Sounds, South Facing and one of those Millennium Square dates in Leeds. Nobody would book them if they didn't shift tickets.

Sure but APE capacity is 50,000.

They are miles away from that.

Quite! But they're not academy level was my point.

Hopefully it's a strong undercard for their sake.

[xxialac]

The undercard looks weak too (except for Badu).

Will need a big second line name to be added for sure.

Either way, free tickets are on their way for Jungle day.

im so far out of the loop

 

so if Jungle announced a tour they would be playing NIA, MEN, Hydro etc? 

 

the fact i still call them that probably shows how much out of the loop i am!

I reckon in London they'd do 8-10k and outside London they'd 5k-6k. They'd maybe do those arenas, but with seating tarped off. 

[FloorFiller]

Think people are massively overestimating the appeal of Erykah Badu these days if they think having her listed as a co-headliner will make a lick of difference to the sales of this thing. She’s not exactly been particularly relevant or a big ticket shifter herself for some time now.

[collectivisedfarming]

She headlined a 40k capacity UK festival last year and sold out two nights at the Southbank which is about 2.5k capacity so she still shifts tickets.

She was the very first name on (much bigger capacity) Primavera Sound’s poster the edition before last.

south facing is 5k and they didn't sell it out last year....

Presumably Jungle are lined up to headline Creamfields North and then Way Out West in the next 2 years...
