If Cave does headline the Mid, he's gotta bring back Stagger Lee in the setlist.

I saw them once as an opener for The Black Keys and thought they were alright (actually at least as good as a surprisingly pedestrian headliner) but I wouldn't have thought they'd be down for this.
Maybe I have a wrong expectation of APE's level for headliner booking and/or what reputation Maccabees have had in their absence.

It feels like a longer shot given supporting Taylor Swift is a long jump from metal/pop-punk, but could they maybe be a name in the mix? At least if this becomes more tangible than it currently is.
