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

 

One of Kraftwerk died last year, so unless it’s a tribute of sorts. It’s unlikely.

I’ll correct myself before anyone else... he’d stopped touring with them 10 years ago, so completely possible.

 

ill get back in my box

KoL please. 

New album out next week and they always go down well in the capital.

Really hope they get something out soon - every major festival with a lineup has sold out, could be a great way to cash in on the hype!

Yeah,but  I'm starting to wonder if they still exist. There's been nothing on their Twitter since August...

I reckon they will be back, without them or Community and Citadel - theres a huge gap in the London festivals lineup

[Joshuwarr]

I would say it looks unlikely. Unless it is possible for them to just mobilise quickly the fact (as mentioned above) that they haven't put anything out suggests there isn't the staff working to pull something together or at least keep the moment going. But then again I guess these one day events may operate differently?

I'm guessing there's a bit more legwork for the likes of APE as they'll have to agree new dates with the council etc. I don't doubt that if it's going ahead then conversations were had prior to the roadmap being released but I imagine it wasn't until Monday's announcement that they could really get the ball rolling.

If there's no news in the next couple of weeks, that's when I'll get worried.

New dates were agreed ages ago, from what I heard.

The new dates were already agreed with the council a long time ago, when they decided May was too risky/soon.

And last two weeks of August gives them more of a chance than July festivals that can't change the dates.

To be honest, they were probably replaced with their robot versions a long time ago and nobody noticed

[Gilgamesh69]

Normally i'd wait for cheaper tickets, but with how fast events are selling out these days, feel like I might have to be very on the ball with this one. I'm hoping for Kraftwerk and Massive Attack to return; hopefully the indie landfill days are replaced with something better though...

Who thinks this is actually going ahead? I'd love it to but surely APE would have announced something by now if they were going ahead this year.

Same, i'm not optimistic. By now you'd expect something, even if it's just a little teaser, like an updated profile photo or something

[balthazarstarbuck]

Yeah stick me on the pessimism train too. Not a single update in 8 months on Instagram- might have to settle for Wide Awake.

[Gilgamesh69]

I reckon if we don't hear anything this month, then that's probably it. If something is happening this summer, youd think they'd want to get info out asap considering so many people are buying tickets at the moment.

 

I'm hoping for the Kraftwerk and Massive Attack days to return. I'd also like a day that has bands like Mogwai on the lineup; feel like they could definitely sub now

I'm very confident they'll go for it.

Deep pockets, good access to bands and had already planned with council for post June dates.

Probably an announcement in next 3 weeks and if they dripfeed the days could probably announce much sooner.

[balthazarstarbuck]

I’d love them to- but not even a “good news on the roadmap- watch this space” placeholder?

Hope I’m wrong though. Really enjoyed it in 2018.

Ah. Looking back it appears to have been first mentioned LAST August. I was hoping it was something more recent given they've done nothing on social media since last summer.

On the positive side, I scrolled back through their Facebook, and they went totally dark not long after the 2019 edition till late that year when they started announcements.

Fingers crossed - This country should be easily safe by August, so if they're still around I'd be hopeful 🙂

[lostinthedream]

They changed their Facebook Profile pic. 

[balthazarstarbuck]

That’ll do.
