Let’s be honest. This year was successful with that lineup because we were starved of anything and would have taken anything. 

Undoubtable it was a factor but selling 40k+ tickets for all four days is good enough reason to try it again. Still suspect the end of year exams, etc play a large part as well.

LCD Soundsystem again?? James Murphy did however say recently that they weren’t working on a new album yet

It would seem a bit weird if that wasn't a hint, right?

SoS 15 year anniversary tour?👀

[nowyouregideon]

I took that post as a tease of a New York offshoot of APE with LCD Soundsystem probably headlining.

 

Edit: Looks like a bunch of venues and the likes are sharing the same image. Think it's got F all to do with us lot over in the UK.

Good news that they're back all the same. Obvs gonna end up over here at some point so happy days. Would rather it wasn't APE anyway.

[xxialac]

They're surely not going to announce any of the acts for next August already.

Imagine nothing til 2022.

It was teasing a 20-show residency for Brooklyn Steel. What a strange thing to do across a number of venues just to say ‘oh no they’re just playing in one place’

so I’m not taking it as a big clue for APE. considering there was no album 2 months ago and he said they were on ‘full hiatus’ and wouldn’t tour without new music, I have no idea what it means

[xxialac]

Nick Cave - Tame Impala - Jamie Xx - Kraftwerk - La Femme - The Blaze - Aurora - Los Bitchos - Jehnny Beth - Malik Djoudi - Diiv - The Liminanas.
 

Can rely on several of these for 2022. Playing same weekend at Rock En Seine.

That’s 3 headliners for APE already I’d say. Likelihood is they’ll have Tame Impala and Kraftwerk back with Nick Cave doing another day.

Kraftwerk being around does provide indication but I admit I was expecting APE to bun them for someone maybe a bit newer and trendier. Seems like a tough sell to the millennial audience that this festival generally caters to.

Does anyone know how well the Krafwerk day sold before it was canned? Don't think it sold out but if sales were strong then there's no reason not have them back.

[DomDom1984]

Given that festivals are still trying to get bands that couldn't play before, Kraftwerk and Tame Impala seem to be fairly safe bets for doing this. Kooks/Wombats probably off the menu with The Wombats doing the o2 though.

No way of knowing. They will be back though, I’m sure.

I just meant that I expected they might try to appeal to the bumper crowd that the festival got this year with next year’s bookings. Kraftwerk being pretty much the opposite of the young, relevant and fashionable headliners in August 2021.

Florence + The Machine and Muse both doing Mad Cool, surely now names in the ring for APE headliners? Florence would be a good one with maybe Wolf Alice and Chvrches as sub?

Mad Cool is early summer - Muse are probably a bit too big and will be over in America by the end of August. Florence I could see though if not in america - perhaps more likely for Latitude though based on the dates. I reckon Florence could do both though surely

I could potentially see Muse doing APE depending on what kind of tour it is. If it was part of an actual proper world tour then maybe not, but something like the pre-Drones tour? I could maybe see it.

In a normal year you wouldn't see someone headlining both Latitude and All Points East. Would be one or the other; I'm inclined to think Florence would be here or BST and then some Boardmasters, Victorious, etc. type stuff as well.

Can't see Muse ever doing this. If they were doing a London show then they would do something bigger. Doing IOW anyway so not scratching around for fests to do.

Mad Cool is early summer - Muse are probably a bit too big and will be over in America by the end of August. -> You know something or just predicting?

Predicting. But they are definitely a bit too big and i'd say its pretty likely by the end of August they are in the US

I mean as a big fan, if Muse play London in the near future, I'd prefer something like a rerun of the by request show they did before doing Reading and Leeds in 2017. But I sense any such show will be a surprise.

There isn't mention that IOW is a UK exclusive performance of theirs is there?

Muse are playing every village fair next year. They're playing Mallorca Live fcs. They seem to be content with whatever they get.

I wasn't even aware Mallorca Live was a thing until they confirmed it. Take it that's it not the biggest festival going then.

Biggest headliner to date by a landslide
