Could be tempted by that. I actually like most of that line up, all the way down to Cuco

#83

Seems like an ok line up but one that might struggle to pull the punters in?

Whatā€™s with the crossing out? Is that just stylistic for the artist?

I like that Christine and the Queens album plenty but surely they/she would be the smallest headliner ever at a major festival?

#85

yeah, not sure how big Chris is. I mean she easily sold out two nights at Hammersmith last month, as part of what seemed to be a pretty sold out UK tour, but Hammersmith is what 4k, and APE is something like 40k-60k depending.

well on the one metric that counts more than all others, she has 1.49m monthly listeners on Spotify, compared with Bjorkā€™s 1.40, so no.

As if anyone listens to recorded music these days mate :wink:

Iā€™m talking ā€˜All Inā€™ numbers here :wink:

you got something in your eye there? remember itā€™s always better to try to blink it out than to stab your finger directly into your eye.

If the Bjork gig was heavily papered, then this definitely will be too.

#91

Not really inspired by these line ups, but then remember I didnā€™t really give a shit about 90 % of the people playing last year and still had a really great day out!

#92

None of these three days have made me go WOW like that LCD, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Phoenix, Young Fathers day did last year.

Itā€™s a shame because I probably wonā€™t make Primavera this year so was considering going to a full weekend of this.

Fingers crossed for Field Day.

None of these really appeal to me, which is a shame. Last yearā€™s line ups were brilliant imo

Yeah after saying ā€œthat was brilliant, Iā€™ll definitely go again next yearā€ at the end of APE 2018 this has totally knocked the enthusiasm out of me. I do like the undercard but even that is significantly weaker than last yearā€™s. Love Bon Iver but if his Primavera 2017 headline set is anything to go by he doesnā€™t really work at that level (was fantastic at Usher Hall in 2012 mind). Listened to the Christine and the Queens album again this morning and I do like it but itā€™s not enough to really sell a day ticket to me let alone the whole weekend.

But 2018 was so much fun and it did stop me from crying about missing Primavera :disappointed:

Will have a think about it

This yearā€™s lineup is not terrible but itā€™s definitely much weaker than 2018. Looking back, they did a brilliant job - possibly the best lineup Iā€™ve ever seen in London for a fest.

That Christine and the Queens line-up would be a fun day out, but not for Ā£70. Reckon ā€œĀ£2.50 ticketsā€ are very much on the horizon for that one.

Ezra Collective are brilliant, one of the best live acts around at the moment. You couldnā€™t pay me to watch the rest of that though.

#98

Thought actually in hindsight 2011 atp Iā€™ll be your mirror was even better (at least for my tastes)

Jaberwocky had a hell of a line up

Edit: Monumental fuck up/huge mismanagement they couldnā€™t sell this out to be honest
