Every year their bookings

Every year APE sets a new low for how cheap of a booking they can get away with. 

APE probably puts out some of the most disappointing lineups on the circuit, The Postal Service and Death Cab being an exception.

Nice line up but can't see it being a big ticket shifter personally. 

 

I have heard of Barry and Shygirl but not actually heard their music. I know Confidence Man and seen them a few times and great fun.

 

The rest I don't have the foggiest who they are, Have they just made up names? Christ, I'm getting old.

There must be a sub coming in a future announcement no way Confidence Man can be it.

Salute is great, can't say I've heard of the others either tbh

All pretty well established electronic acts, but if that’s not your bag then you wouldn’t have heard of them.

If you saw the crowd they pulled on the Other Stage this year, you’d know they absolutely can be.

…which was by far the worst selling day last year. You’re just not into the other stuff being programmed and are conflating quality and popularity with personal preference.

Yeah. APE used to be very good, is now pretty dire.

Huh? The basic essence of a forum is for people to express their personal preference.

This will sell the sh*t out of PS&DCFC, Justice, and probably LCD too.

I’m probably just disappointed that this place used to be somewhere that people would discuss whether bookings were strong or not regardless of whether people were personally into them. It’s all gone a bit “I don’t like it/I’ve not heard of it, so it’s sh*t”, middle aged folk shouting at clouds for my liking.

Does Barry come from what the older gents would say is "good stock"? I've not looked into it much to be fair.

He’s not posh, if that’s what you’re getting at.

I can't help being a bit surprised when someone with one LP is headlining events like this. I mean I'm always keen to discover new bands but usually not when there is such "hype".

Yes I did notice is didn't sell greatly. I actually think I checked ticketsforgood at one point and if it was there probably wasn't viable for me. Imfact I just checked and it was a Sunday with the decemembrists too but unable to get back that night unless I drove which means hotel costs really adding up.

 

You are correct though in that APE is in general way not my cup of tea but that was. It's a 6music collection essentially and a radio station I barely listen to.

It is although I get his point. It's a bit like but to leaser extent me looking at. Reading bill and expecting a school leavers weekend in the field to book for someone  who's 38. The big difference is that APE has never really been for me, Reading was. I went Field Day this year so same venue but separate from APE for Charlotte de Whitte who at a guess didn't have a big a crowd as I was guessing she would and although many left after her, I imagine Justice crowd was bigger as they are generally bigger on the overall scale. Justice also give me some Tame Impala vibes and that's never going to be good....another booked for APE haha.

In a turn of euphemism, yes. Thank you.

Only in terms of overall genre I suppose, their music is quite different. I much prefer BCS! Gonna get tickets for this one, I imagine the undercard will be stacked.

They are probably the two biggest 'emotional' dance music artists

This lineup will sell well and is very cheap too

 

Perfect for the 20s london crowd - will do better than most days this year

[sisco]

Raye for the 23rd

[sheffinghell]

This could be interesting... any thoughts on who might sub?

[magicmat77]

Ive never been to All Points East. HUGE Raye fans though. Do the headliners do a bigger show than usual festival line ups eg BST where you get the full show? 
 

Also, what kind of price are the launch tickets compared to first release tickets? Thanks! 

[magicmat77]

By the way, if you havent seen Raye live, i HIGHLY recommend it. Wasnt on my radar last year, but having seen her twice now, its a pretty incredible experience. Ive never heard an audience so emotionally involved in a performer and what they are singing about.

1. its a usual festival headline show, ie 90 mins most likely

 

2. about a fiver, £10 max. There's usually lots of offers for APE nearer the time, consider holding out

Do you have any receipts for having 4 Bst names or you just want to scoff at saying something isnt happening at all. Think Im winning 6-0 right now. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not pretending to know anything pal.

 

I still remember you gloating and making points about the crowd crush in Brixton so I'd wind your neck in.
