"announcement incoming" on the socials. 

Are we banking on LCD, or any other shouts?

LCD for sure given they are teasing via AEG presents on socials for a UK tour.

[1986]

Think Lauren is announcing on 6Music this morning. Sure it'll be online instantly after.

[Guest]

announce this you losers

[HumbugD]

Hoping LCD aren't just playing this and actually tour

Vampire Weekend likely to be in with a shout for a day? Seem to be popping back up with a few random festivals here and there.

Few random festivals? They're at Primavera only right now? Exclusive too to Europe so reckon they're out of this

The guys from Primavera Barcelona said that Barcelona is their only European festival date for 2024

Ah fair enough, that's a shame.

Massive Attack are playing shows next summer. Time to rebook the APE show that was cancelled due to Covid?

Arcade Fire? Seem to be headlining a lot of line ups lately I know the Win Butler thing is a problem but feel this might be overlooked. 
 

Would love to see LCD Soundsystem headline too

It's certainly a lot easier to overlook on a day festival where one band shifts the majority of tickets than it would be on a weekend festival where it's more about the lineup as a whole.

I think not in London, but I may of course be way off.

I think Arcade fire would be problematic for a UK festival

I keep seeing people saying this but with no justification as to why. Whilst Butler's actions are disagreeable & questionable what makes the UK festival market any different to where AF have been booked in the last year or so; including Spain, Greece, South America or the U.S?

I have no doubt the band's stock has fallen but they will still shift tickets.

Af has one festival booked in the u.s next year and they arent even headlining.

One…so far.

And the OP acknowledged that their stock has fallen a bit.

[Dim Sum]

To be honest the situation with Win has gone really quiet over the last six months. If I was to make a call on the next announcement it does look like it might be a LCD Soundsystem with probably Idles as a strong sub. 
 

But could be completely wrong.

Arcade Fire would definitely still sell tickets well.

APE with their crypto gambling vape snus etc sponsors will be the first to book them if they think it will sell well / worth their fee

[danjamesbaker]

I think Arcade Fire are a decent shout as they're getting booked heavily again - already announced for a festival in Spain and the US this week and are doing 3/4 in South America in the Spring.

Massive attack and LCD in the frame

Day splits

22/08 : Maneskin, The Hives

23/08 : Fred Again, Jungle, Olivia Dean, Soulwax

24/08 : Massive Attack, The Offspring, Blonde Redhead, Inhaler, The Kills

25/08 (!) : LCD Soundsystem, PJ Harvey, The Smile, Roisin Murphy, Zaho de Sagazan

 

So, LCD for 24th August and Massive Attack 25th August for APE? Soulwax under LCD?

Maybe but they are a problematic booking, especially if the undercard has any interesting band. I wouldn't be able to buy a ticket if they are headliner, and would feel frustated that I can't see the undercard. I think a lot of people would contact the undercards and let me know they are not happy with them sharing a bill with Arcade Fire. I don't think a day event is easier than a weekend festival.

I don't think Arcade Fire are a good fit for APE anyway. Recent bookings suggest they are going for younger headliners in more diverse genre. On the other hand, Arcade Fire have become, both because of the Win Butler situation and lack of recent success, a sort of legacy rock band. I don't think they would book them, for the same reason they won't book Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, etc.
