    So after the APE announcement leaving Latitude's headline options looking pretty thin on the ground, there's now Catfish/Gorillaz/The Cure/Arcade Fire/Massive Attack all looking entirely plausible. Maybe even Flo if she opts to do something more low-key before her album is out.

    Of course, at best we'd likely just get Catfish and 2 of the rest but they're all good options for Latitude.

    Chvrches or Wolf Alice also potentials for the Friday night uk indie band bump up slot, and more palatable than Catfish et al (imo, anyway).

    I just paid $150 AUD to see them in Melbourne....that's 85 quid :( 

    Fuck me. 

    LCD were one of my three acts that the price doesn’t matter, I’d pay anything for. 

    But 85 quid is madness, are gigs typically that expensive?

    Latitude just shared their recommendations for releases on Record Store Day and selected Gorillaz as one of six. Seems a bit strange to promote it if they aren't playing next year to me

    While I think Gorillaz are likely, I don’t think this adds any weight to it. As they say, Damon has headlined twice with two other projects (and the most recent time he played a few Gorillaz covers)

    Why is a £7.40 service charge so much worse than a £6 service charge?

    It doesn’t have to be “so much worse”, but any saving is worth having if you know that the festival isn’t going to sell out before it becomes available on dice. 

    Generally though, a service charge of over 10% does seem expensive, especially if you’re getting an eticket and other places offer the same service for 10% or less

    All of the acts so far on the All Points East line up seem very Latitude. I think they would benefit hugely by making at least some announcements before the start of March like they usually do otherwise people will be spending their money elsewhere for sure this year.

    Cant see The National doing it again so soon but Future Islands and The War on Drugs would be great. Really hope Latitude picks them up.

    I’m wondering if the reason for the three “APE Presents” gigs, as opposed to a two weekend festival, are because one or more of the acts are booked as a festival exclusive somewhere. 

    Could see TWOD or Future Islands subbing Latitude, also hoping for Lykke Li, now that she’s touring again

    Four Tet playing a couple of rare live shows in Feburary, will definitely be in attendance for one of those. 

    I’m gutted, going down and staying in London for a long weekend the week after (Nils Frahm and Bonny Bear). Not sure I can justify two trips down in that space of time

    Does anybody know what ticket website O2 presale will link to? Ticketmaster? Should I log into my Ticketmaster/whichever account ahead of time? Not used O2 presale since NIN about 4 years ago!

    Axs. 

     

    Prices are: 

    £95 golden circle (insert "sick" emoji here)

    £70 standing 

    £70/60/50 seats

    if you've got the o2 priority app it'll direct you to the axs "waiting room" where you can select tickets etc

    Mogwai headlined the 6music very recently, I don't see them coming back.

    It will have been 4 years ago (by the time the festival rolls around) and they've released 2 albums in between. 

    I don't think they'll headline, and I'm not sure if they'd take the same slot again but I wouldn't say that it would be because it's too soon

    Yeah I thought I'd hate the seating areas when I first saw them, but they were a blessing when my back was hurting one time. Imagine they'd be a saviour in muddy years 'n all.

    It never gets crazy muddy, especially at the main stage. Something to do with being at the top of a hill and/or the soil type, I'd guess. 

    The dust is a fucker in the particularly dry years though

    Have decided against this - I have a presale code for anyone who wishes to have it - for up to 4 tickets. Hopefully it's not personalised and you can put your own name on the ticket... worth a pop anyway.

    Yes please, if no one's already asked

    Excellent stuff, it's well worth it to not trek up that hill! Have there been ID checks tonight?

    There were quick scans, not sure if you could get away with flashing ID confidently. I didn't see anyone get turned away, but that doesn't mean it wasn't happening

    Come out of Wood Green station and cross directly over the many traffic lights to station road. On the left there is a normal bus stop, and then there will be one after it where the shuttle bus will be stopping. Its £2 I think for a return.

    You want the W3 from by Wood Green

    W3 also goes from Finsbury Park but it's quicker from Wood Green

    Thanks guys! Found it no problem :) £1 as well, cheaper than a gin and tonic tinny from the Sainsbury's over the road

    They're switching things up a little bit but the bulk of the setlist is the same most nights. Probably best to not look at any setlists if you want a surprise.

    Thanks. It's really frustrating because they've got like 2 hours worth of "must play"s imo, and that's excluding the new album. Trying to hold out as much as I can

  14. Are we assuming that the capacity is going to stay at 40,000 or drop back to 35,000? Because those extra sales could lead to some bigger name acts than earlier latitudes have had (see: two of this years headliners, whether you like them or not).

    I don't think War on Drugs are big enough, despite the fact that I really like them. I'd say they're about as big as Fleet Foxes, who got a dismal crowd for a mainstage headliner. I especially don't think they'll headline alongside another American act. 

    Arcade Fire or Florence et al wouldn't surprise me, can see them being overlooked for R/L in a Glastonbury fallow year. Reckon R/L will go for something like green day, arctic monkeys, Kendrick

    not sure Snow Patrol are picnic blanket fodder anymore... unless they make a massive comeback it seems a stretch for them to headline at all let alone as the one to appease 'the one album a year crowd'. Love the idea of Wolf Alice and LCD on the other two days though, sounds sublime that.

    Very true, I was struggling to think of an active act in that field that's the right size. I know they're planning a comeback, and nostalgia is selling a lot of tickets nowadays it seems. The Script? I know their single is getting radio 1 play
