Latitude 2016

[Jacko45]

I love Slaves but they aren't nowhere near good enough to headline main stage, but one of the tents maybe.

Is this your first sighting of the greater crested forum bullshitter (Fakeious Sourcious)?

Well, could you hint as to whether it is bands / acts that have been mentioned here already....?

I know two of them for sure. And they have been mentioned frequently. 

The other, is pretty obvious, but I'm not 100% sure on.

[swelsbyuk]

If I knew, I'd be blabbing all over the place. There is a distinctly underwhelming response from those in the know too - no comments about line-ups blowing your socks off, pleasing a lot of people or surprising a lot of people. 'Find it to your liking' is either someone being particularly coy about a decent announcement, or someone who's a bit underwhelmed. I suspect the latter.

Incidentally, there's been very little mention of PJ Harvey - note she's been announced as Eden headliner. Any reason she's not being touted for Latitude? Thought she'd be a good fit.

Well that wasn't supposed to happen.... I blame the laptop.

Was supposed to quote @aj3000and12 and say that if indeed you are to be believed then I would say that points towards Maccabees, The National and New Order / Massive Attack / Lana Del Rey for the third spot. These seem to have been the most discussed options.

I'd love to say that Maccabees are overrated but I've yet to meet anyone who rates them!

[Amy Lawn]

Wishlist before the drop tomorrow. Trying to be as realistic as possible.

Massive Attack + Young Fathers
Floating Points live
Colin Stetson & Sarah Neufeld
Lanterns On The Lake
Sleaford Mods
Kamasi Washington
Emmy The Great
Father John Misty
Todd Terje & The Olsens
65daysofstatic

[Brownie30]

If we're talking wish lists outside of straight headline predictions I'll throw these into the mix:

• Father John Misty
• Oh Wonder
• Honne
• Editors
• Explosions In The Sky
• M83 (ker-ching) 
• Guy Garvey
• Lush
• Ash
• The National (Headline)
• Massive Attack & Young Fathers (Headline) 

 

[Amy Lawn]

Oooh, good call on EitS and Ash, can see them both turning up.

[Martyjhill1]

I don't care for The National or The Maccabees so I feel like being somewhat let down is inevitable, although I only liked one headliner of any stage last year and it was still a great three days. I'll be optimistic for now though and go:

Obelisk: Headlined by LCD Soundsystem or Massive Attack + Young Fathers, PJ Harvey and Sigur Ros. Would like to see The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Lush, Wilco, Roky Erikson,  and Kamasi Washington too. 

6 Music: Headlined by Jamie XX or FKA Twigs, Explosions in the Sky and Primal Scream. Would like to see Sun Ra Arkestra, Sleaford Mods, Minor Victories, Dinosaur Jr, Field Music, Teleman, Follakzoid, Damo Suzuki and Eagulls.  I still have a funny feeling that My Bloody Valentine could pop up out of nowhere as headliners, though.

To be fair its hard to say anything without breaking an embargo, so its usually best to not really say anything at all. 

I reckon it'll get a good reaction, mind you I can't remember the reaction to last years lineup.

My real mistake was using my damned actual name when I signed up 

[The 38 year old virgin]

Excited about today.  I reckon the Maccabees would be a good headliner. Poss my favourite band of the last 10 years. 

Is anyone thinking Joanna newsome? 

Possibly Cinematic Orchestra? 

It'll be a cracking weekend whatever.

Anybody camped in the family area?

[mercury]

pretty sure joanna newsom is an end of the road exclusive.

I gave a mid-range comment to avoid saying anything critical and to avoid over-hyping anything, while being well-aware that anyone's take on the line-up is subjective anyway.

If I said it was fantastic, that wouldn't be true for some. If I said it was shit, that wouldn't be true to some.

Instead, I said something about people finding it to their liking, broadly based on the acts people have talked about in this thread - where some of those talked about acts are playing, and some of those talked-about acts are not.

But hey, 10 points for concluding something fro my words and being utterly wrong.

The Maccabees - The National - New Order

(as announced on 6 music)

Edited March 3, 2016 by gregory

[zahidf]

macabees, national and new order headlining as per 6 music. chcvhes, fsther john misty, cournter barnett, british sea power playing

[zeppelin]

Can't say that lineup overly does it for me. Which is fine since I can't make it. The national are obviously amazing though. New order I didn't enjoy at all at bestival years ago. 

[mercury]

happy with that. not to mention it was my prediction for the three headliners!

Hmm that looks considerably less inspiring than when Massive Attack were being touted, although I'm sure the rest of the lineup will be great - it always is
