You think it's nonsense for someone to think a trio of musical acts is a step down from some previous trios of musical acts? Pretty sure the majority opinion in this thread was that that was the case anyway.
I’m saying that it’s nonsense to claim that these acts are worse bookings than when they (and very similar bands) were booked previously. Latitude has always had some duff headliners, if you didn’t like these ones that’s unfortunate but it’s not like there was no musical precedent

Christ, calm down. It was just a naff headline trio compared to what Latitude had been putting out in previous years. And again, it was clearly just the guy's opinion (and obviously mine too).
"But the claim that these acts are a step down in quality over previous headliners [...] is nonsense". How can that be nonsense when it's an opinion of someone?
Opinions can make no sense

The 1975, Mumford and Sons and Fleet Foxes...
If you don’t like those acts, fair enough. But complaining that these types of act are “ruining” latitude is ridiculous.
Mumfords played in 2010 and countless other pop-folk acts have also played high up to no complaints since latitude’s inception. The 1975 played in 2013 , apparently without ruining it then, and dozens of similar acts have played high profile slots.
Snow Patrol headlined the first festival with the flipping Zutons subbing them, bore off with the idea that the line-up used to have some unquantifiable calibre that went missing in 2016. It’s ok to like latitude, and it’s ok not to like the 1975 or Mumfords, and it’s ok to do both simultaneously. But the claim that these acts are a step down in quality over previous headliners or a new direction for the festival is nonsense

I think after the hits they've brought out in the past, and considering their huge success, the Main Stage seems very likely for them. Plus considering they are playing in the main stage at other festivals too.

Think about it. Say it out loud.
I was going to say the same, but I think that it’s a reply to mgmt not fob

it wasn't melvin I heard about.
But with those dates mentioned above, I'm thinking that particular festival might have been rejected because of the indoor dates byrne is doing - because they're at about the same time.
And I've just had a better look at his announced tourdates, and see that he's already got shows booked in for Latitude weekend (which probably make that unlikely), and he's back in the states by WOMAD.
Boooooo!
I'm wondering if the indoor shows might be all there'll be.
Shite that. Cheers though

a major promoter has told me he tried for Byrne for next summer but missed out on him.
So it definitely looks like someone has him, but i don't know who. My guesses would be EotR, Bestival, and (probably the most likely) WOMAD.
Please tell me this major promoter wasn’t Melvin Benn. Would be wonderful if he’s at latitude

10% less seems very small considering the Latitude capacity is about 50% below Reading or Isle of Wight, and the headliners aren’t very big in comparison, so I don’t quite believe that.
Anyway, Michael Eavis claims Fleetwood Mac want £5m to play Glastonbury. That’s barely budgetable for any festival let alone Latitude where Fleet Foxes we’re the last band to headline.
Yeah, I was very wrong. Misremembered secondhand info, and by “major” I suppose I also meant comparable size festivals.
Dont mind me

I dont believe Fleetwood MAc Would play the 'tude either. BUT........arnt Glastonbury widely known for being the artists who play a much lower rate? As its mostly for 'charity' and not profit, dont they do this? Dont they also do this with the promise of massive media exposure for artists playing?
Im SURE i read that somewhere.....once.......course, I now am an old man with a young baby who doesnt sleep....iirc latitude pay a bit less than the other major festivals (G aside), think it’s about 10% less. Can’t remember the source, might be on here or the 2017 thread

Mixture.
Considering at this stage last year, FF and M&S hadn't released any European shows we didn't have a clue they were going to turn up. So this is kinda of a "what's out there atm" line-up crossed with a few artists that match 2017 slots such as Nines/ Dave (admittedly i don't know much about nines other that he's popular atm), LIV/ BOF.
Where do you think Odesza/ Gold Panda / Nils Frahm would play?
Admittedly Gold Panda is big for Sunrise, but it'd be a cracking set.
Radiohead is more wishlist, however they are active in 2018, where else in the UK would they play? BST?
Considering the bump Melvin gave Blossoms at Leeds last year, and with them having album 2 out by the summer, I don't see why they're that different from previous Friday headliners.
Ok, I didn’t realise Blossoms were to have an album out by the summer, they could be given a bump up.
Nils Frahm has played lunchtime slots on the sunrise recently, once under the Lambert pseudonym. Gold Panda actually played late night sunrise two years ago (on the same album cycle) which is why I wouldn’t think he’ll play this year.
Nines I think is a bit too “aggressive” hip-hop for a latitude main stage, but I’ve only listened to his album a couple of times. Previously when latitude have had main stage rappers they’ve been what people like to call “conscious” rap whereas the likes of AJ Tracey was on in the film and music.
I’d love it if Radiohead were booked but I just don’t see it happening. Not sure they need to play a uk festival unless they want to

Do you agree with any of it?
Is it a prediction or a wish list?
imo Blossoms, Nils Frahm, Gold Panda, Radiohead (or arcade fire), Nines, and Odesza are unlikely to play in those slots if at all

Mad Cool has a ridiculously massive lineup. Latitude is nowhere near it in those terms. They wouldn't sub Latitude.
Ok cheers, I got confused between that and open’er. Possible headliner then I suppose

This is so so good, I'd love it if he could come back over here and play with a band. Unlikely though.
Still banned isn’t he?

Snow Patrol are playing Mad Cool the same weekend, doesn’t seem like they’re headlining so maybe due to sub as well as latitude?
-
Yeah, I know Gary Lineker is far favourable to Morrissey public persona wise. Maybe Pele or Cantona would be a good example of a footballing shithead, I don’t know
I was just making a point that one’s past achievements are kind of irrelevant if they’re no longer capable of performing to that standard

Latitude would be privileged to have one of the finest lyricists this country has ever produced. Much better than a lot of the shite at this festival the last couple of years.
I don’t want to see Morrissey headlining a music festival for the same reason I don’t want Norwich to sign Gary Lineker upfront. Sure they could do the job in the 80s and 90s but 25 years later they’re not the same

Morrissey and/or Belle and Sebastian?
Don’t know if B&S are big enough to headline any more, and hopefully the bookers have decided Morrissey is too toxic/shite nowadays

Chvrches surely a strong contender now. Supporting the killers at Trnsmt, and they’ve as good as confirmed LP3 will be out by then
-
It makes sense I guess, they could have a lot of guests at boomtown that wouldn’t fit in at latitude like Danny brown, Popcaan, Vince staples, Pusha, etc.
Shit though. Gorillaz were my favourite of the likely headliners after APE announced LCDS.

Isn't David Byrne that guy who sat in a glass box suspended over London for a month in like 2003? Don't know why he'd sub.
You’re thinking of David Blaine.
David Byrne is that bloke who used to play in midfield for Man U and England, was really good at free kicks.

The Killers?
Announced 2 stadium shows on random dates in June/July.
June one in Swansea the weekend of IOW Festival, the Bolton one on weekend of Latitude...
Not impossible, but unlikely for me.
I certainly could see them doing longitude, as I haven’t heard about an Ireland date on the current tour. But not sure about Bolton and both -itudes in the space of three days

It’s 2018 now
They played in 2013 (or whatever year) before kraftwerk, they were great.
Think Joe and Alexis are doing their own things again this year so we might get the latter
