What are the chances of seeing Deftones, Idles & Amyl. If it follows previous APE events then no big artist will be on against Deftones. Just worried that I may have to pick between Idles & Amyl and that will be Amyl as my partner likes them.

 

I was hoping that maybe the second stage might be a dedicated stage for what I think are rap artists. Not my thing and so no idea who they might be.  Are any of them likely to top the second stage and high positions on the main stages and potentially help with clashes for someone with zero interest in rap? Do you think the rap artists may get a tent stage?

 

Would love to also see Deafheaven, that might be being greedy.

I imagine itll go:

 

Amyl main sub

Idles 2nd stage headliner 

Deftones

Chance that amyl and idles are the other way round

Would still be happy, I just could not remember how APE stages worked. I only went to a  couple of LIDO dates this year and that only had the one big stage.

Deftones really can shift tickets right now can't they!

 

Glad to have to got in at Tier 1. Looks like chance of cheap tickets for this will be quite low.

I think some of the bullshit VIP ones might take longer, not really the scene for that sort of stuff (from my viewpoint anyway)

[BlackFoxx]

Deftones onto tier 4 ticket sales now, I think the chance of giveaways for this are over. 

 

Hoping they put some of that money into flying Jawbreaker and Texas is the Reason over.

Hope some more hardcore or metalcore gets announced…but I can understand why that might not happen.

Getting annoyed now without the announcement. Can they just confirm it's not TFB and put me out of misery already!

Thanks for the update. TFB or not, at least this waiting to find out will end soon!

[sacred shape]

I've just bought my ticket - feel like it might sell out on the next announcement

[FxxxItFlowers]

Tried my best to get more info

 

Day Splits will be next week I think also since they mentioned day tickets going on sale

[TheDreamIsOver]

Announcement this Thursday at 10am according to the Discord

Wonder if that means there will be just 500 "One Day Tickets" for the Friday show, and the rest held for weekend ticket holders as an "add-on"? Not super clear.

Thank god it seems friday is the emo/indie day judging by the wording

If I remember rightly if you got a weekend ticket then somehow you're eligible to 'upgrade' to a Friday ticket also, not sure how it'll all work like.

I think it means 500 day tickets each for Saturday and Sunday to coincide with the daysplits being announced, as weekend tickets seem to be close to sold out - And then Friday tickets will go on sale generally, with a discounted option for people who already have weekend tickets. They're selling it sperately so I don't think they'll restrict how many people can buy just a Friday ticket.

I hope so! Of course, it would be quite funny if, after all my waiting and stressing, TFB aren't the Friday headliner!
