Kano / Jamie XX Saturday night 👀

We got anything to back this up or just wishful thinking?

Great spot! Very happy with that.

[scatteredscreens]

I mean, Jamie XX on a undercard, sure. But headlining? Really? 

[xxialac]

Jamie xx and Kano are co-headlining the Saturday night.

Also playing are Tom Misch, Slowthai, Little Simz and Arlo Parks, Nubya Garcia, Pa Salieu, Romy, Haai and Fred Again.

Piss poor so far...

That's a great line up, some fantastic artists on there. 

[xxialac]

From Tame Impala, Massive Attack, Beck, Kraftwerk, Thom Yorke, The Strokes, Chemical Brothers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Nick Cave, The National...

...to these low key names. 

Massively disappointing. Little Simz and Nubya Garcia are good at least but there's some dross in there.

[balthazarstarbuck]

Got to be realistic and accept the lineup won’t be at the level of previous years with travel restrictions etc. Which pretty much goes for all festivals. And at least it’s not the bloody Kooks. Yet.

[scatteredscreens]

It's definitely good as a package of acts, just no stand out acts for me. But APE are continuing to show that they know how to curate a day around a genre/scene. Happy to see little simz on there, hopefully means she's at Eotr still.

I mean, the Pandemic has obviously screwed over the artist pool, I'm pretty sure all of those acts are UK based. Like I've said regarding other fests, I cant see many international acts appearing at some of these fests this year.

Anyone got an inside track on ticket prices?

Which is great if you want to go for a day. If you want to go for all three, you surely want variety throughout?

[Andre91]

That's a brilliant lineup. Shame it clashes with Reading and Leeds.

Look at previous years, they normally curate different days around a genre/scene. Hopefully that'll continue this year, can see a landfill indie day taking up one like last year was supposed to happen for sure unfortunately. 

[xxialac]

Where are:

Caribou, Kelly Lee Owens, Massive Attack, Nils Frahm, Young Fathers, Neneh Cherry, Kraftwerk, Jonnny Marr, Anna Calvi etc etc

Plenty of European talent appears to have fallen away to be replaced by stuff that is trendy but IMO frankly nowhere near as good.

My word some of you are harsh...just be glad to get any sort of event this year.

I can't see any day in the past that has been like this.

Tickets are £73, according to Dice. Completely taken aback by that price, thought we would probably get a cheaper ticket for that line-up (I love the line-up personally. really consistent batch. just no major 40,000-festival headliner in there)

I agree haha, highly doubtful for big acts to be touring this year, especially if they're outside of the UK.

Cheer up mate, christ. There's still two days to be announced and there's a pandemic on. I'd be very surprised if we get more than one or two non-UK artists. Just enjoy actually having an event we could possibly go to.

[FakeEmpire]

Damn, that's an interesting lineup - would definitely have gone to that if it weren't for the clash.

It that's true that is STEEP

It has a very powerful promoter behind in in the form of AEG and there are plenty of strong UK and European artists.

Didn't expect the US names but there's a fantastic music scene in Europe and plenty of bands desperate for a payday.

And tickets are £73.

Here's an idea...don't buy one then.
