As long as they stick with that, I wouldn't have thought the size of the act would matter as long as its an actual headliner and within budget... I'm worried though, that IF this lineup is one of the best ever blah blah blah that they are setting themselves an extremely difficult job to keep up next year. Similar to (In my opinion) the headliner quality from 2015 to 2016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a claim that can never be proven to be false. Michael Eavis claims he's booked the biggest lineup yet every year. Valid point, I only raised it because its not something latitude normally claim looked through 2015/16 announcements earlier and I've seen "acts announced tomorrow" rather than "Biggest lineup yet!". Also with Mumford booked, in terms of popularity, they're one of the biggest booking latitude has made.

In my opinion (and I don't like them) On mumford, not really listened but after the assumed confirmation today I watched their reading set and their most popular songs were very good. very good..

finn_with_1_n Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Not to get your hopes up, but this Dork article (https://readdork.com/news/it-looks-like-the-1975-have-just-confirmed-themselves-for-latitude/), for the past 12 hours contained information about Mumford and Sons also teasing a headline spot at Latitude but have only just taken it out. Could this imply that Mumford are actually headlining Longitude instead? I know that tends to have larger acts (e.g. Kendrick, Major Lazor) so they could easily do that. Dork deleted the Mumford bit after getting the press release, maybe? And you could argue that someone like Lorde is a big headline act, especially as she is headlining Osheaga alongside Muse and The Weeknd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but the population is so sparse in East Anglia it'd take the farmers 3 weeks to find them anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smileii Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Finally made an account so I can actually post. We've got our tickets for this year, and I for one am excited about The 1975, but then again I am the teen female audience you all seem to despair of. Would love to see Newton Faulkner there too, not long now until we know for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
