I'm thinking about doing this next year. Is there any word on any rumours regarding headliners?

[Davness]

Melvin Benn hinted at Elbow during a webchat earlier this year. He said someone who played "Saturday afternoon in 2008" and of the bands that did, Elbow are probably the only band who played on the Saturday that year big enough to headline. So yeah...Elbow

Some of these would be good....

The Flaming Lips
Frightened Rabbit
Yeasayer
Atlas Sound / Deerhunter
Animal Collective / Panda Bear
Four Tet
The Twilight Sad
BATTLES.

I'm tempted to do Latitude this year as never done a full weekend at a festival, only days.

Would love to see Elbow, that would def convince me to go.

When do tickets go on sale/line up announced?

[binka]

If I remember correctly last year it sold out before the headliners were announced.

Nah, didn't sell out till a couple of day before the festival.

[Gingerbond]

Gorillaz , Goldfrapp and Flaming lips please as headliners!

[Davness]

Dirty VF have suggested Lady Gaga headlining Friday, Neutral Milk Hotel Saturday and the Manic Street Preachers on Sunday. Probably a load of crap (considering the source) but I'm still interested to know what Neil makes of this...?

[Tugger2k]

should have some juicy info for you by the end of the week.

the people at Festival Republic are extremely excited about this years headliners, they believe they have pulled 2 or 3 master strokes of bookings.

ive told neil i'll let him know as soon as i know anything and will post some hints up here as i get them

[Davness]

Well you were right about Stevie at Glastonbury so I'll look forward to hearing! Any chance you could let me know too?

[Tugger2k]

ive just had the 1st update

but im going to verify it before posting it as they just strike me as uncut headliners rather than mainstage

not bothered about florence but B&S should be great

[mercury]

belle and sebastian is great news. i really hope florence and the machine are playing underneath them rather than headlining the main stage on another day though.
