That would make total sense. Is this a guess or a fact now?

It’s a moot

End of the Road which is AFTER All Points East has their entire lineup out.

C'mon APE, pull your finger out!

Yeah, they usually have 2-3 headliners announced by now don't they?

 

I can imagine Perfume Genius playinge if it's true that APE are moving to August

Are they still a functioning band?

I'd really love to see these guys return.

They do but it's usually 3 months earlier!

2021 dates apparently and I can see them being here if they are touring.

Is it expected that most of 2020’s acts will be rolled over? 
 

Could New Order be in the frame? 

[gfa]

is APE confirmed to be happening?

its a risky festival to run for sure that hasn't found its place yet and is clearly being subsidised/barely turning any profit. doesn't make much financial sense to keep it going post covid-19 surely - especially given its in May/June if that sticks.

Seems unlikely; they've already got a London show in November

Almost all festivals have rolled over their acts but have also kept the same dates.

By changing dates all bets are off.

Don’t worry about the finances. Accept that we as punters know fuck all about the festival’s viability.

No indication they're touring and haven't been announced on any other festivals. They were expected to be doing the 2022 circuit with a new record, however.

[unodosseb]

After that new Avalanches album I’m really hoping the Tame Impala day with them a little down the line-up happens next year. Had a ticket to that day this year and was gutted about the cancellation

[The Crimson King]

London Grammar? Seem like a good fit for APE. Third album due start of 2021.

Hearing it’s GM & Reading weekends.

Wolf Alice have their 3rd album out this year; given that it'll likely be a "Best of British (based)" festival this year (I'm assuming they wouldn't risk booking acts in advance outside the UK?) could they be in with a headliner shout or would they not quite be big enough?

Probably not big enough. They'd be a decent sub though.

It's clear the festival have been holding off until there's a clearer timeline, but I wouldn't be surprised if they have had Brit-centric lineups already booked in and ready to go. Fingers crossed.

[Field Commander Jefferson]

That would be epic news if it went ahead.

Hopefully they can rebook Massive Attack, it may be harder with Kraftwerk, tame impala even more so obviously

Can anyone confirm the dates we *think* this will be happening? Need to start getting the planning hat on now a few announcements starting to come out.

Last 2 weekends in August.

Surprised they haven't said anything yet. They were already planning for these weekends.
