johnl Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Thought this was worth its own thread. New Festival announced by AEG for June 2025 featuring emerging artists. Apparently in addition to APE Be interesting to see how this pans out. Maybe look at the Primavera line up for clues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dales Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago The cogs in my head are already considering what are the chances of promotions/freebies for this as per the early APE years. Would assume there will be a few poor selling days as per APE, although probably a lot less competition on the weekends LIDO is on. Much harder to launch a new venture on dates already associated with other brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axel75 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Doesn't it sound like its the same concept as Wide Awake & Rally festivals? An attempt to kill these 'indies' off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just APE but in June to get early summer acts before they go back to the us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoochie1981 Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago I’m wondering whether this is an APE rebrand and the APE August dates will cease to be from maybe 2026 onwards? There wasn’t enough demand for 6 APE dates let alone 6 more. It might also help them move away from the freebies based operating model. Does anyone know when the APE license ends for the August dates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know when the APE license ends for the August dates? If they wanted only 6 dates they would just move them to begin with instead of going through the slow, expensive and unpopular process of doubling the number of dates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
