Wide Awake 2023

I heard mention of Spiritualized headlining last year. Apparently they are trying to get one long-running/influential headliner each year.

Its gone to one day again icymi so that would make their headliner each year always long-running / influential. Feels like the complete opposite of what they have generally been going for if thats the case.

Not a chance

Confirmed first announcement is good enough for me already. 

Osees on their own are worth the ticket price, and then there's already a load of other good stuff along with them.

Osees, ty segall, erol alkan, a place to bury strangers is good enough for me!

Can't imagine Spiritualized are big enough to headline these days

I'd add as well that Spiritualized at an outdoor gig is not really for them. It's so layered with lots going on that outside most of the time it just sounds like mush. I saw them in Bath this year and then again at Forwards in Bristol and the difference was astounding.

I hope Slowdive are active next year and turn up at this.

Agreed and yes, slowdive would be a great headliner

Could totally see king gizz headlining this going by the undercard. They’re well overdue some UK dates, haven’t played here since the pandemic. Saw plenty of t shirts on the day they were supposed to play APE- sure fire ticket seller. Either way the undercard is worth it for the price at the moment, I paid £30 to see osees earlier in the year, add in ty and APTBS it’s a no brainier, going to be a fun day for sure!!!!

I'd love King Gizz, I think I read there's a bit of beef between them on Osees, or rather someone in Osees moaned they were ripping them off.

Yeah I think one of osees drummers made a bit of a snidey dig at them on Twitter a few years ago but then clarified that they were friends. Gizz aren’t shy about their influences and have cited osees in the past I’m sure. To see them both on the same bill would be awesome!

You'd think Parquet Courts could be in with a shout at some point, but I think they did a UK tour earlier this year, so might be too soon.

If we’re discussing whether Hot Chip are big enough to headline, Spiritualized definitely aren’t.

[scatteredscreens]

Young Fathers are touring in Feb/March, could see them at this.

Caroline Polachek headlining

[jannybruck]

Disappointing headliner considering she's got her own London show just three months before and seems to have been everywhere the past couple of years anyway.

[suttttttt]

Not familiar with the headliner but some nice additions on there, shaping up to be a fun one. To anybody that has been before is there anybody on at the same time as the headliner?
