    Sounds like they're doing the 'special guest slot' again this year from some social media posts which was on the Saturday so reckon we can probably expect someone in between Jessie Ware and The Vaccines.

     

    Struggling to understand why they haven't given the day splits yet...

    They're on the Obelisk for sure. I think it was assumed Wolf Alice were on Friday because Rag'n'Bone Man can only do Sunday and The Vaccines have confirmed that they're doing Saturday. Now, looking at the lineup page, Rag'n'Bone Man is on the line below so he's probably 3rd down below Wolf Alice on the Sunday.

    Yeah think this makes most sense as Wolf Alice are in Spain at the beginning of the weekend. Wolf Alice into Alt J sounds pleasant to me.

    On stages he always delivers and comes across as this humble guy who just wants to spend time with fans and appreciates any love he gets when touring but outside of that he sounds like a disturbed fella, messed up and such a hick stereotype. EODM have released some lacklustre albums but as a live band they can be fantastic  

     

    This.

     

    I saw them live in Birmingham the week before their Bataclan gig. Easily in my top five live experiences, they were great. Also met Jesse outside before the show, he seemed cool and was willing to speak to his fans and take photos. Didn't come across like he does in the media. Just a genuine nice dude. I do however think he had these extreme right wing views before it just seems what happened in Paris has given him more of a platform to voice them. Shame because it makes it difficult for me as a fan of their music to continue to support them.

    i swear to god if nonagon infinity doesn't open the door at R&L this year... been kicking myself for missing king giz in 2016.

    Seeing them in 2016 was the best thing I did, been down the gizz rabbit hole ever since. I reckon its pretty likely they will show up but think they will get announced closer to the time to let Green Man sell a few tickets off the back of them first.

    So with all the focus on comedy and theatre, does that mean there is less music at Latitude compared to similarly sized festivals. i.e less music stages? 

    There are 5 stages dedicated purely to music: Obelisk, BBC, Sunrise, Alcove and BBC Introducing. Then the Film and Music tent will play host to a few acts as well as talks and films. Theatre, comedy, cabaret and speakeasy all have their own dedicated stages. As far as I'm aware 5 music stages is about standard for festivals of a similar size.

    The previously announced headliners were Fleet Foxes and The War on Drugs, so both male and very static on stage, and my guess is the 3rd headliner was going to be either female and/or someone who would add a bit of visual razamataz.

    King Gizz are very visual and high energy in comparison with the other two. From what I gather they tried to get a female headliner but it didn't work out.

    I think one of the great things about EOTR is its consistent approach of pushing "smaller" bands higher up the bill, giving them their first chance to impress a bigger crowd and break into bigger things, including some of the headliners we've seen over the years. I love it when the lead singer humbly says something like "oh my God, I didn't think this many of you would show up", which happens quite regularly.

    I agree and I think Gizz would fall into that category. They seemed pretty in awe at the amount of people at the Brixton show. Festivals that champion up and comers are a great thing and it should continue!

    Agree. I quite like them...but they are not yet headliner status and probably never will be.

    I dunno... they sold out Brixton and a string of other UK/Europe shows in large theater type venues. Pretty sure that would make them big enough to headline EOTR and Green Man.

    If it wasn't for their stupid human hands they could play the pyramid all day long with the amount of material they've got and continue to put out, finish it off with a headline slot playing nonagon infinity through twice non stop. 

    They do seem pretty ambitious though, when you think of some of the people you'd group them with (Oh Sees, Ty) some of them have been going for ages and gizz seem to be rising higher than them (although I definitely prefer to the 2 examples I gave). Best of luck to them either way.

    Yeah its strange cause Ty and Oh Sees are also super prolific. I think Gizz are just more accessible than them,  the variety in the material they put out means they appeal to a lot of different people. Ty and Oh Sees are great but I don't think they change up their sound/experiment (at least compared to Gizz) enough to receive widespread recognition, as great as they are. I think the '5 albums in one year' has probably helped get them noticed more too.

    Never listened to him (or The Last Shadow Puppets). Where would you recommend starting?

     

    Honestly surprised it hasn't sold out yet, its such a bargain for that price. Almost cost me just as much to see QOTSA at Wembley Arena last year

    His debut (Colour of the Trap) is ace, most of the songs from it were co-written with Alex Turner. He only has two studio albums so there isn't too much for you to work through, but start with Colour of the Trap!

     

    Yeah I'm really shocked, its a steal for the caliber of acts that are on. Going to be a big one for sure!

    quite tempted by Latitude this year, does anyone know when will tickets sell out? When did they go last year?

    Weekend didn't sell out last year or the year before as far as I'm aware. Only Saturday tickets sold out last year.

     

    I think you will be safe for a while.

    There are already 16 acts announced for the main stage, surely they won't announce 7 more?

    Just an average going off of previous years, give or take a few probably, but there's definitely more to come.

    A little bit disappointed with the line up so far... OK The Killers are (were) good, lots of anthems to sing along to, and I liked The Vaccines' first album, but nothing else excites me. Had a quick listen to Wolf Alice, Mogwai, Alt-J... not really my thing. I booked Lat as a Glasto replacement so I'm hoping that the comedy/theatre/other areas are worth going for, otherwise it's quite expensive! 

    Out of the 3 festivals booked this year, this was by far the most expensive, and the least appealing. I'm not saying the line up isn't good, it's just not to my preference. I guess there will be more announcements to come? Hoping for maybe Sigrid, Rae Morris (although I'm seeing her elsewhere), and maybe something like Chic...

    Yeah there is plenty more to come yet, looking at another 7 or so acts on the main stage and over 10 more acts for the BBC stage. Not to mention the Sunrise and Lake Stage which both have barely any acts on at the moment. Its been confirmed that there will be a special guest again this year and I've got a feeling its going to be Chic W/ Nile Rogers as they will be around. You'll have a great time regardless, there is loads to discover even if there aren't many names pulling you in at the moment.
