Young Fathers are touring again in 2024, I wonder if they could headline a date?

Subbing for Wide Awake, so I'd doubt it!

[NorthernSoul52]

Surely going to be some news on this soon.

Could Wolf Alice make it work?

As a headliner? No way.

Edit: unless of course they get desperate again like this year.

I'd forgotten Wolf Alice headlined Latitude. That one is a throwback.

Wolf Alice wouldn't be ridiculous by any means after having Jungle this year

Agreed. Decent undercard and that could do OK imo. 

[NWUYC]

I'd love Wolf Alice, and they will be around the circuit next year after seemingly taking this year off - but they're a considerable step smaller than all the headliners for this year's APE, even Jungle.

They are no smaller than Jungle

Regardless - lets aim a bit higher, this year clearly had some absolute stinker days so AEG if your reading this, can you please book proper headliners. Jungle would have been a fairly weak sub in the first year of APE

Wolf Alice are much bigger than Jungle IMO (in the UK anyway...), if their next album gets the same attention as the last they'll be knocking sub/co-headlining for some of the bigger fests and be an easy top line name for day fests like APE

Social media is updating, so an annoucment must be soon...

Loyle Carner's also been teasing a London announcement on his instagram so ready to be totally wrong on him going for a finsbury or gunnersbury instead 😄

It's still perfectly plausible he's teasing those..... London's a busy place lol

Given the robust sales of their own tour, I could see The Smile rocking up somewhere on here. Not sure who they might sub, mind.

Loyle Carner is often very Live Nation i think

Egg on my face 

[NorthernSoul52]

Good for him. Biggest ever hometown headline show, that's not to be sniffed at.

 

[gfa]

Reckon this could be where Biffy end up

IOW, Download both out

R&L seems like a no (and fairly soon, they played in 2022)

[NorthernSoul52]

If Biffy Clyro are indeed touring, it will be a fascinating barometer of their ability to pull beyond the R+L / Download bubble (especially given their crowd at the latter was reportedly sparse in comparison to other headliners in 2022.)

Get them a decent undercard, at a decent price - fat chance on the latter - and it could prove to be quite useful for them.

Great name, excellent performer. 

[Chaarlie]

Does this still end up not shifting tickets with competitions / discounts ect or does it tend to sell out now? I've not been back since 2019

[NorthernSoul52]

Eh, I think it depends.

significant amount of tickets shifted through competitions and discounts for all days this year

[NorthernSoul52]

Probably be the case again. I kind of hope APE doesn't die out, but... yeah.

[Chaarlie]

I assume it depends on the lineup each day, I ended up getting tickets for less than £20 for every day in 2019. Edit - meant to say every day but the Strokes, think that might have been the only one that sold out

How well wil Loyle Carner sell, I like him but its a big capacity show no?
