Paolo Nutini as an APE headliner, really...

he's not been around for a few years, but ... he's a real big ticket shifter. I suspect he'd do much better than some have this year.

Imagine how poor the sales would be for this ??  Paolo Nutini as an APE headliner, really...

Paolo nutini is a huge draw, sell much better then Christine and queens

[zahidf]

George Ezra in the frame as headliner I'd have thought. Vampire weekend and nine inch nails maybe as well?

I think it needs to stay as the two weekend setup purely because it allows the free community events in the days inbetween.

I reckon this is true, maybe community instead but probably here.

Ezra better suited to BST as he doesn't really suit APE's brand . Should be big enough for it too.

BMTH, Bjork, Mumford And Sons, The National.

What brand is that?

Rock (indie, folk, alternative) and electronic, I guess. Do you think people are choosing from the whole gamut of musical acts and picking out Vampire Weekend as an appropriate headline act?

I think it's being based on who has had albums our recently at the moment, still a whole 12 months to go so there will be plenty more to open up

Nah I get why they’re getting suggested, and those type of acts do seem to be the main audience they’re going for, but I’m assuming you would have called BMTH “off brand” before this year. So they could announce literally anyone and I wouldn’t be surprised. 

[zahidf]

Pavement playing primavera next year, so a possibility?

I was thinking that wasn't entirely sure he was big enough. Definitely as a co like national/florence this year.

Yes but they’re not that far off brand and it seemed to fit after their undercard was announced. Plus we’d only had one edition. I don’t think now that BMTH have appeared that “literally anyone” could headline it and it wouldn’t be weird - it seems to target a certain demographic and I don’t think they would be there en masse for George Ezra.

Besides, the guy can headline wherever else and have a decent crack stadiums so why is it worth arguing that he can play this?

Primavera Porto & Barcelona are their only two shows in 2020 apparently

That seems crazy exclusivity but for Primavera's audience it's pretty much perfect

[1986]

I'd expect a hip hop (or grime) heavy day. Maybe Tyler, The Creator or Dave headlining with Flying Lotus and Badbadnotgood on the bill. Snoop as a special guest.

Initially, that sounds great. But with Wireless, Lovebox and that new Ends festival, doesn’t  London have enough hip hop/rap festivals?

Wireless sells out every year, with a proper bill theres no reason not to really - Tyler on an exclusive next year would probably do the job with decent support. I don't know if they would want to have that associated with their image though and they could get similar complaints to what Wireless gets with Finsbury Park - the no swearing stuff etc. APE has one of the best curfews in London, they need to keep it that way I think.

While i'd like this myself, this is significantly more indie than the previous two years. Also DMA's as a sub lmfao okay then.

[BeddingatReading]

Just a few names who could do headline (sorry if they’ve been mentioned before, let me know what you guys think)

Two Door Cinema Club 

Wolf Alice (not sure if big enough to headline though?)

Elbow

Courteeners

Manic Street Preachers

The Kooks

Liam Gallagher

Tame Impala

[Tom Connolly]

so long as the tickets are free again next year that’s all i’m bothered about ?

[a6l6e6x]

Chase and Status with Pendulum on undercard would be nice..

Would be good but its already the case at SW4 this year (albeit Pendulum above Chase and Status)

[lessthanwill1]

I’d love a Robyn, Janelle Monae, FKA Twigs and Charli XCX day.

That would be perfect but I can already feel some atrocious clashes happening.
