All Points East Festival 2021

[Guy Honeymoon]

I'm going to throw something out there. Don't dismiss it off hand. I'm going to suggest - 

 

The White Stripes 

 

Next year its ten years since they split up, they have a greatest hits coming out, they have never fallen out, I think they would be a good fit for APE and The Raconteurs played last year. 

 

I can see it happening (at some point anyway even if not next year) 

 

[CG31]

Sorry if this has already been asked or answered, is there a chance for Tame Impala to be playing this next year?

[foolee]

My ideal headliners for this would be Tame Impala, Nine Inch Nails and Arcade Fire. Would be cool to have Smashing Pumpkins and Pixies too. The White Stripes as mentioned above would be epic but I don’t think that would ever happen. Jack White would be great though! 

Whats everyone’s dream headliners?

Literally everyone you said tbh!

These would all be fantastic, I’m hoping Gorillaz are also in the pipeline and if by some complete miracle LCD Soundsystem are around in 2021 that would be the cherry on the cake

Also hoping for The Strokes to return to APE at some point, as long as the sound is better this time round 😉

Is Lorde big enough to headline it? Would love to see her there, and then as also mentioned Tame Impala and Gorillaz would be great as well

I mean not really, but then Christine and the Queens headlined so maybe? Would be a cheaper ticket though and they'd need a good undercard

[dentalplan]

I don't think she'll come back any bigger than when she subbed it.

Save for either being the final Latitude headliner, Tame Impala and Gorillaz must be here. Whether it's end of May or in August, Gorillaz are playing shows at each time and Tame Impala have a break in their US tour in August as well as being around Europe start of June.

Richard Ashcroft and Thom Yorke co-headline. The drummer will appear as a surprise guest for a few songs

What drummer?

Where’s this come from?

[dentalplan]

I don't get it

[zeppelin]

Gorrilaz playing the O2 in August so that counts them out surely. 

[Pottsy2913]

Yeah, looks like Gorillaz are out. Surprising, thought they were nailed on for sure. 

[jannybruck]

Bit of a shame, that, they would've been a great headliner, and they're doing EU festivals so they'll have a show that's tweaked for outdoors. Not sure I can be arsed seeing them at the O2.

[unodosseb]

New Arcade Fire music seems to be dropping real soon 👀

With the festival delayed until end of August, I guess no announcements in November any more.

Anyone have a sense of when we might hear something?

I'm guessing they'll hold back their announcement for as long as they can, in the hope a "you can resume outdoor shows as normal" thing gets said first.

I reckon that's the general approach of all events right now, otherwise they'll be spending a fortune on publicity for an event that might not happen.

Is that legit or just a rumour though?

Can't say it's legit for certain, but it came to me from someone who I believe has a formal link to the festival.

Makes sense.

I’m afraid, then, the first week may well clash with Green Man (Aug 19-22) and the second week Reading/Leeds (Aug 27-29), or the first week Reading/Leeds and the second week End Of The Road (Sept 2-5), depending on when it starts.

Yeah, it supposedly clashes with Green Man (acts could play both?) and Reading (not much overlap).

GM weekend is already pretty busy with Pukkelpop, Lowlands, Paredes de Coura and likely some smaller things dotted around Europe also. I can see this doing harm to the big green guy.

Won't be considerable overlap there, hopefully.

Wouldn’t expect so barring some lower acts down the bill.  More a frustration that so much is going on over them weekends now

Yeah. I suppose you can at least pick and choose days between the two. I think it will lose a decent amount of custom to people who enjoy a camping fest like GM, Lost Village or EOTR around the time.
