Please no Bastille as headliners, a penultimate spot would fit them better Goldfrapp and John Cale subbed last year, though. It'd be a bit of a jump for this year to have a sub bigger than last one of last year's headliners. Same with the Ben Howard shouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose-Colored Boy Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Just noticed James Bay is also on that Mad Cool lineup. Would be super gross but he was rapidly heading towards Latitude headliner size before he went away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born in the fifties Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 I keep on expecting targetted ads for anti-depressants to appear on this thread. And its getting worse. James Bay, FFS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose-Colored Boy Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 He's just been announced for the BBC's Biggest Weekend thing, too. Man's about to be everywhere again and as such he definitely has to be a leading contender for this, now, however dreary that may be.

At least a headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just isn't a very exclusive booking for a headliner and Melvin likes an exclusive. Cant see the headliners being at any other UK festivals but could be wrong.

FR (and other organisers) constantly claim 'exclusives' that are only 'exclusives' if you don't count the Big Weekend as a festival. Probably because it's near-impossible to get tickets - obviously, acts playing an event nobody can get tickets to isn't going to affect your demand.

So I've been told by someone who books bands they all see that as the very best exposure they can get. So I guess Melvin's wants of exclusivity might fall second to that with many bands.

True but Latitude don't share many/any acts with Big Weekend looking at the past few years. Don't reckon its gonna be James Bay and hopefully not Snow Patrol either.

Hawky Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 If they're going to do a repeat booking, Kraftwerk are active (played in '13). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s at IOW and TRNSMT also (and probs more in the UK) so wouldn’t be an exclusive anyroad. He’s third down at either of those so I don’t think he’s gonna headline this. 3 hours ago, Zac Quinn said: Goldfrapp and John Cale subbed last year, though.

They knew who they were booking when they booked Fleet Foxes, it appeals to a different audience and their popularity thru different metrics I suppose. If ‘well they’re bigger than Fleet Foxes’ is about to be a thing then it’s an open door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakeyyy Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Would love to see Kraftwerk return as they're around in July but they're in Belgium on the Saturday so doubtful. The dream would be LCD Soundsystem or Sigur Ros. Think it will be: Fri: Bastille + St Vincent Sat: The Chemical Brothers + James Bay Sun: Snow Patrol + George Ezra Special guest: Grace Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WMWMOfficial Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 People are saying on here that acts playing Madcool Festival will most likely not be playing. It's only a 4 hour and 45 minute flight to Norwich Airport and a further 1 hour and 12 minute drive to Latitude Festival. I do reckon most acts playing their will have slots at Latitude Festival too!
