Is it wise to have Mitski headlining when she's doing 3 dates at hammersmith's just 3 months before? I'm expecting lots of competitions and NHS tickets this year. 

Were you also one of the people predicting record numbers of people not paying their Glastonbury balance this year?

Loyle Carner line up announcement due to drop today. Andre 3000?

Damn.. that is an insanely good lineup. What are the ticket sales looking like? Is it worth waiting for free tickets?

Always worth waiting… that festival can’t sell out even when it tries

Bought tickets to this on the strength of that. Will be my first APE where I consider the headliner the weak link.

Was Phoenix always on the Deathcab day? Getting real FOMO now but in N.Ireland for a re scheduled blink gig that weekend.

Yes and just realised I got them confused with another band and am now v excited about seeing them!

Announced this morning, and some decent adds:

 

The Kills

NewDad

Joy (Anonymous)

Joe Goddard

 

And some smaller acts that I cannot claim to recognise

[ConfidenceMan]

New names added for Mitski - can't imagine they'll move the dial much for people who were undecided about going. 

Suki Waterhouse, Men I Trust, and lots of acts id never heard of!

Any chance of Foster the People for Death Cab/Postal Service?

hope not! They wouldn't be a good fit with the rest of the bands

 

Looking at some of the festivals happening in Europe around the same time, we could feasibly get any of Blondshell, Chalk, English Teacher, Mannequin Pussy, Slift, Blonde Redhead.

[ramblingmad]

Are there any clues as to how the bands will lineup that you can take from the poster? For the post cab/dcfc are the Decemberists likely to be a headliner on a smaller stage or on the main stage ahead of the headliners?

 

Been a while since I've been to an APE.

Total guess, but I would imagine Decemberists headline the second stage (West) and Teenage Fanclub, Yo La Tengo and Wednesday also on that stage earlier on + 1 more TBA who would be first one. Phoenix to headline the tent with Gossip before them and 3 more TBA. Sleater Kinney to be 4th on the bill for main stage (East) + someone TBA for 3rd slot. Soft Launch first on the bill for main stage.

Ah man, hope you're wrong. That would be horrible. But then it's one of the most stacked lineups I've seen for my personal taste so there will be horrible clashes everywhere.

[bandsrcool]

I am hoping it's the same as for other festivals where Death cab play, then phoenix, then Postal. Seems to make most sense there.

[basquille]

Yeah, would be gutted to see either Death Cab or Postal Service clash with Phoenix!

A recent festival had DCFC play, immediately followed by Postal Service- as per their normal tour. It's 50 mins for Transatlanticism, 15 min break, then the Postal Service album. I presume they are sharing equipment, etc - hence why the changeover is so rapid. I wouldn't be surprised if All Points East scheduled everything else to end just as DCFC start, so there are no clashes for anyone against the joint headliners.

[crumbler]

Tems added to the Kaytranada day.

[kaanypooch]

It's a shame they couldn't get some stronger support on for Mitski. I really like her and keen to see her live but I'm not paying APE prices for basically one act who would usually be a sub at something like this. 

 

as others have said it is generally poor this year and looking like the first summer that I wont go to any of them.

The Loyle and LCD days look decent, mind.

Would seem very unfair to clash anyone against the headliners. Would feel doubly bad for Phoenix after they got clashed with Elton John at Glasto last year.
