Think they bigged up the Wednesday headliner a bit much though, I like pup but are they really that much bigger than Hot Milk, Boston Manor, Bob Vylan etc 

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

So we seemingly got the right agency that they were talking to....Alk 3 were one of the six or so bands that were possible from the roster

I'd imagine the next one will be January but could get one in December if they've got a bunch of bands that can be revealed by then 

 

Agree probably January, maybe early Feb. especially as we're already in November

Oh interesting, also was stuck trying to figure out who AMTP on Saturday were so thanks for that

Also I know they don't always both matching similar bands/genres on same days, but Creeper and Glassjaw would pair pretty nicely with AFI and Turnstile respectively

If this is still the case then it will match what ian from creeper said to me last at blondies in london when they did the album listening party

Surely given what trees have announced that creeper would have to headline given Cancer Bats are in one of those spots.

The AFI dream is really hanging by a thread now. Rise Against ruled out given other commitments that weekend now too.

 

The most obvious names look to be Turnstile (Saturday looks likely given the bands below them) and AATS if they’re going international rather than a UK headliner.

 

To me, there looks to be a lot of bands announced who will have very minor slots so here’s hoping there’s still plenty more established acts to come in those high axiom type slots.

As a big emo fan this lineup is one of the best they've done. Blows Slam Dunk out the water.

Nah bands move down spots as more stuff is added. I'd imagine Cancer Bats are headlining the cave 

[Mcbatesman]

If it was turnstile and it's all done and dusted, surely they would have just announced it tomorrow with them? As ally pally is tonight

I believe we have most of the neu stage with this first announcement as james said he has been mainly focusing on that before

Fair enjoy it. Hopefully AFI are announced.

Not necessarily, could be an agreement that APE announces first for a certain amount of time, or tied into the sales strategy announce certain bands at certain times

Surely Turnstile are too big for this now sadly

Turnstile don't really care if they're too big for things clearly. They don't seem to want to play Download or Reading & Leeds for whatever reason.

I guess, i still would of held out to announce turnstile first personally 

[JoeT]

So apparently across both festivals (2KT and ATG) there is only one repeat headliner. Now that AT have been announced, this suggests all 5 others will be new.

 

This would rule out Enter Shikari and - if he also means co-headliners - Turnstile too.

Yeah was just about to post this. I think that was reliant on some bookings being confirmed when James said it on the podcast but was confident about it.

 

Reckon we've got Rise Against and one other newbie. AFI, Amyl or someone else.

Rise Against are in Austria now on the Saturday, so could maybe do the Friday but I'd say unlikely tbh

It didn't stop them doing Nova Rock Thursday this year and getting to Download to play a 4th down main stage position the day after, albeit a surprise. Expected the Saturday but I wouldn't rule them out based on actually having more rest time.
